The forum system is fairly good, but the response rate would be much faster if there was an instant chat. This may have been suggested numerous times before, but...

Re: Chat
Hi Shivamcoder3013;
A while ago I suggested the same thing.

In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

Re: Chat
Well, cant we have an IRC chat with many rule-abiding ops to make sure there is no flaming/spamming?

Re: Chat
Hi;
I do not think there is any way to control those things on forums let alone on chat groups. Anyway, only MIF could implement it here.

Re: Chat
Well, I would prefer if he made a separate link to the IRC. And well, on the forum I haven't seem that many people who flame/spam.

Talking about the spammers. GiB is a different problem entirely.

Re: Chat
Why not re-program the chat so you cannot type the same phrase more than 2 times in 3 minutes?

Re: Chat
That could work but you are talking to the wrong guy.

Re: Chat
Close to impossible for me to contact MiS. I am not a real member, and the only time I met him on a live thread was in my into.

Re: Chat
We simply can't control chat that well. People could get nasty, or there may be predators.
'Real Members' can IM each other, though.

Re: Chat
Total number of registered users: 146323
Surely at least 50 of them would be able to monitor the chats? Private chat, maybe not. But you could disable that, so everything is public.
