Re: chat room

Sounds like fun, although I have to admit, guilty secret, this is the closest I've ever come to a chat room.

Re: chat room

I've been wondering about that too. I think its a great idea. There use to be one on another website that I worked on, where you could get "real time" advice and chit chat about random things.

So the Chat room could be for real time advice (you'd need a mod or 2 that are on daily I think we have enough members here that you guys could trust) but yet be a place for the regs to chit chat.

Re: chat room

If outside forum rules ( ie rude etc) its easy to copy the page, and send then as an alert.
I think a chat room here would be great...
So- let the mods and admin work on this and hopefully they can figure out how.

Re: chat room

It would be pretty good, and it's been casually suggested before. The first possible client that comes to mind would be IRC, which as a person that chats in a room there, is in a pretty user-friendly format. However, someone (or ones) would have to be pretty well versed in the technicalities of created and maintaining and channel, and I think it really would need monitors of some kind or something if it were to be affiliated with the main site.

I'm sure there are other clients out there with such possibility as well.

Would be a lot of fun though...DogChat?

I agree, too many times I've seen things get out of hand in chat rooms, and I believe both you and Borzoimom know what I'm talking about in that respect.
The same rules should apply in there as in the general forum. No slander, racial slurrs and attacking other members....etc. This is why so many of them get shut down. A shame cause the majority of the people who use them do "behave".

Re: chat room

Oooh that would be fun! What a great idea... as long as some of those other issues get worked out as far as moderation.

Maybe only have it open to members and senior members, to prevent trolls and the like from "misbehaving" in the chat room? I'm not sure if that's even possible or a good idea, just a thought.

Yup, exactly!

And the thing is, if there is something bad in the chat room, unless a mod really see's it, he/she won't be able to do um...mod-ly actions.
