Hi Shivamcoder3013;

A while ago I suggested the same thing.

In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

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.

That is because they are being removed.

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.
MIF is the only one that can add new features to the forum.

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.
