im so sick of guests(mainly) going ASL ASL ASL all the time y cant u just get rid of guests and make them get usernames?

When on the game server, click options; messages; then tick the 'ignore guests' option. If you want to ignore just an individual guest then click ignore on there pm box. Hopefully now you wont have any hassle from them.

say something like old, no thanks and up yours...

I dont really think this site is going to achieve the status of "Family site" until the whole idea of guests is scrapped. As soon as you enter the chat room the language you see is appaling.

I also think the moderators are just the tiniest bit apprehensive to go into the chatroom because of the sheer scale of abuse. As an example, just a few minutes ago there was a moderator in the members bar with only 5 people, when there was a chatroom full of 50 people there, most of them guests and many of them being extremely offensive.

Nick,if guests are to remain i think the moderating team size has to increase. Not just getting a new mod or 2, a much bigger amount is needed. I know that its hard to find the right person and understand that, but at the moment theres one moderator to over a thousand users. At peak times atleast i think there should be 5 or 6 mods in the chatroom alone. Then this site may trully be able to earn the name "family site."

some guests are nice n friendly n appriciate the site others abuse it by swearin these people are pathetic n shud grow up

Good points LovePump. Especially annoying is the constant sexual innuendo going on and people asking if others have webcams.

Oh, and those "any fit girls want to talk to a 17 m uk" messages get my goat. If they want to pull, real knickers are better than virtual ones, but real girls might have those "interface problems" that cause most of these people difficulty in "getting lucky" in real life. Not remotely family-friendly if you ask me.

On the plus side, it was good to see rainer156 getting kicked off for the "any pregnant girls pm me" messages... I'd like to see this happen on a far more regular basis, and agree with LovePump that we need more moderators as well as the language sensors.

A better idea may be to make a chat option only available to members, but I'm not sure how feasible that would be.

U trying to beat me for longest post ;-)

"A better idea may be to make a chat option only available to members, but I'm not sure how feasible that would be."

don't you mean like the members bar?

Farren - that's pretty much the idea, confine chatting only within the member's bar.

Lol @ lovepump!
