Re: Un Moderated CHAT

I think people are forgetting that the chatroom isn't just accessible to adults so there should not even be a presumption that everyone will act like adults in there.

Hows that for a set of rules?

Even if there were rules, who is going to make sure they are followed? Do you expect someone to moderate the chatroom 24/7?
We cannot do that.
We will not do that
I do see what you are saying Roy *If you Dont Like it Dont Go In" and i cant agree more with that, but there have been some pretty nasty things being said in there and at times the whole room may have been offended! Is it fair? I dont think so.

We also last night had a 15/16 year old lad in the room at 12am! What if sometthing was said that offended them (Im not saying it was) then they go to the police? or the local council and complain about the chat room?
Personally im looking at this from the sites point of view, im not spittting my dummy as someone said im jus asking for clarification on what the law behind all this says??

I dont want prosecuting my the "Internet Police" for my behaviour in a an un moderated chat room, im asking for someone to provede me with information on where the law stands with this sort of chat room! So im then in a position myself just like others of the site to understand whats acceptable in the laws eyes and what is not.

Im not stirring up a fight or trying to cause any trouble im trying to protect myself and IMO thats fair.

I like the chatroom in here have met some fantastic people and we have a great laugh, it would be a shame if things were to get any worse than they already have in there.

IMO last night there was a DIVIDE! some people in and others in another room then people came back in "Chat Lobby" from "B C " there became the "SPY! Opinions" and people stopped talking cause they felt like some kind consiracy was happening. This is a community site foor community prople lets all try keep it that way! Its getting sad, sorry, and childish. I like coming here and dont want to see a "Divide in the Community"

Come on ACCYWEB were sronger than that!!!

Re: Un Moderated CHAT

Slinky your spot on I dont recall ever having probs in chat in all the time ive been here . and yes last night was like the old days , absolutely brilliant and funny . a pleasure to be part of it. Garinda had us in stitches.

When i was offended in the chat room the other night i left immediately along with several others, So yes Roy your spot on too if it offends " leave "


Reidy you are aware of why another chat room has been set up and as for the youngster being in there so late well if he,d have been in the other room no way on earth would he have been offended by anyone hence no cause for problems , I do agree though it is sad that there has to be a divide because the majority of who use chat do get along .

Re: Un Moderated CHAT

Seeing as i am the 16 yr old lad who was in the chat room at 12am, i personally wouldnt complain as at the end of the day there is a function to leave the room if you do not like anything being said. Also as for the perhaps he hasnt heard of this etc. i have heard it all before.

Sorry about that.

If I think your gash is healing nicely, I'll take the stitches out sometime over the weekend.

I've no idea what has been going on in the chatroom, and I've no great desire to find out, but I can hazard a guess at who's behind it all.

I was in both rooms last night, and had a pleasant time, and a laugh in both.

She says she reported a pervert but did not say that that is what is happening that "children are being groomed" Or did i read it wrong???
Nope! I read it how it is!!!.
