Community Poll: Keep ChatBox or Remove ChatBox?

Kira · January 17, 2019

Whatever bruh.

I'd love if the chat was in Discord buuuut... as stated before, Discord is against hacking & it's possible the server will be banned.

This forum wouldn't feel the same without the Chatbox, I doubt people would visit the site as often if it was removed. Honestly, a forum without a ChatBox feels extremely dead.
And I guess there are many, many, many more reasons as to why we shouldn't switch. But I don't know if they even need to be listed...

Why is this even a question? What has changed?

DISCORD TERMS OF SERVICE; RULES OF CONDUCT AND USAGE

Quote

As a condition of your use of the Service, and without limiting your other obligations under these Terms, you agree to comply with the restrictions and rules of use set forth in these Terms and our Community Guidelines as well as any additional restrictions or rules (such as application-specific rules) set forth in the Service. As an example, you agree not to use the Service in order to:

develop, distribute, or publicly inform other members of "auto" software programs, "macro" software programs or other "cheat utility" software program or applications in violation of the applicable license agreements; or

exploit, distribute or publicly inform other members of any game error, miscue or bug which gives an unintended advantage; violate any applicable laws or regulations; or promote or encourage illegal activity including, but not limited to, hacking, cracking or distribution of counterfeit software, compromised accounts, or cheats or hacks for the Service.

Doesn't this just rule out the third option of the poll ("Remove ChatBox & Move to Discord")?

But, I'm still voting for it.

As not very many people seem to want to be helpful, I will do my best to present what I think are the pros and cons.

Pros: I think chatbox is a valuable way to contact, see, and be up-to-date easily and quickly. It removes the issues with time lag from PM’s, and it is right in the website. It also lets you see who is on at what time. It also lets you ask a quick question right then, and have it answered.

cons: spammers abound. Many, many requests happen there, and it is ALWAYS annoying. Bad posts are common, and well, bad.

I think you can fix these issues with a new rank of moderators, like a very low level. They would be able to delete chatbox messages and report spammers. They would have to go through screening, but less vigorous. They would also not be able to report anyone with a higher non-purchased rank.

It would also be nice if you got a notification when you were quoted in the chatbox. Maybe a way to make your messages only viewable to those you quoted?

In conclusion, I think the chatbox should stay with some modifications.

I vote to keep the chatbox. The chatbox to me is like the neighborhood spot where kids come and hang out.l

I agree, or personal channels with live chat (1 on 1), maybe even groups.

I could think of tons of pros to Discord (and many cons as well of course), but I doubt we will EVER switch over to Discord.

I agree to this. Without the CB, the forum will look dead & there’s no fun in visiting, unless you only come here to download hacks.

why this is a question: there’s to much fights, which imo is not weird; you have people all around the world with different personalities which some people get from. Myself included
