For the month or so I've been here, today was the first time I was truly disappointed with the shoutbox. I've never had a problem in there but today was just asinine.

We all have noticed this sadly, and there's really no way to fix it... :C

TheRocker · Aug 2nd 2012, 3:12am

Seriously there is a way ... By Making Insults Filter and increasing the waiting time after posting in the shoutbox to 10 seconds not 5 seconds , idk if that might work.

LucidaJAS7 · Aug 2nd 2012, 3:13am

I agree, and was just telling people about that in shoutbox. :!:

Well, the mods COULD fix it, but it would be controversial as hell because it would involve banning A LOT OF PEOPLE.

I didn't have a problem until very recently. It seems inevitable that it would happen. At times it is horrible, and at times it is the most fun place to be online. But also during those times it becomes filled so no one knows who is talking to who or about what. Possibly a set of shoutboxes could be imposed? For different topics? I don't know anymore....

Eurydice · Aug 2nd 2012, 3:22am

Like I said earlier, perhaps more mods on the team, with at least one person who's on at the time dedicated to watching the shoutbox? I know one person can't be on all the time, but with more people, it's more likely to cover it at all times.

I Honestly Stay on this Forum Most of my time , Cause i got a Vacation and i Just Spent my time Making Suggestions.

Hence most of the "oldbro's" use it to have a proper conversation and laughs without someone ruining it.

Maybe more rule enforcing could do the trick.

I'm on here constantly when not at work...people could easily be assigned the power to warn couldn't they? I'm not saying myself, just people that are on a lot. More people to help control

This is what I suggested. c:

More people = More opinions = More possibillities of opinions clashing.

Atleast that is how I view it.

Eurydice · Aug 2nd 2012, 3:49am

It's better than some suggestions I saw. Like outright censorship. Ugh... I DETEST censorship.
And preventing people from saying 'shit' won't stop shit.

So what we need is moderators that won't go crazy with power and ones who can go past their own opinions to deliver fair punishment and won't favor others?

Seems easy enough

The only problems I've ever encountered on it are people arguing over stupid things. When I'm there I break it up if it goes to far but I really don't think you can stop people from expressing their opionons.

Are you saying that their are ones doing that now?

Synchronized · Aug 2nd 2012, 4:04am

Found the solution.

There's a difference between expressing opinion and outright being rude and insulting your fellow bros, in my opinion at least.

From what I saw in the shoutbox it went something like this.

"You're an asshole, don't mess with me!" then the person replied with "No you're the asshole and I'll **** you up!"

The person should have replied with "I'm not an asshole and I don't agree with you, blocked."

One is expressing the opinion, the other is outright bashing.
