Popular Post a live dinosaur Posted December 1, 2012 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 Now, this is a thought, not a request or recommendation, I would just like to know what your thoughts on this would be. What if there was a private shoutbox, for, I don't know, invites by mods or something? I cannot even use the current shoutbox because all of the "I didn't get my specialization code yet" and "I hate XP cap" and "Halo 4 sucks" discussions are giving my computer mental retardation, I spent half an hour trying to get my computer to unfreeze. Now this isn't about my computer lol but seriously, I am sure some people could agree that a private shoutbox is not a terrible idea :3 and don't say "But Dino there is PM" well yeah, but PM isn't technically a live feed like the 343iChat is. Now if you think this idea is stupid, don't get too bothered by this, it is simply a thought. I am not trying to start a Dedicated/trusted member or even logical new member vs. cluesless new member flame war here, it is just an idea, since I am very sure most of us have noticed the high number of spam, hate, complaints that nobody here can possibly fix, over-stated problems, the list goes on lol 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Ackbar Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 It would be a good idea. But how would new people be allowed into that box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armel Meow MacDonald Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I'm a complete idiot, but I still think this would be a good idea lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Sadly this won't happen. You can always PM 5 people and get a group chat of the 6 of you talking. Wish it could be a thing at times.. I don't know if this site has the choice, but on the Alliance Tear site, I can make it so only Limited Members and up see it.

a live dinosaur Posted December 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Well the Private Shoutbox wouldn't have to be advertised or anything, so I doubt new, trolling members would know. You could just ask a Mod for permission, and then the private chat is open publicly to you all day every day :3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Ackbar Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I dig the idea. But I don't think it would happen. Unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skummgummigubbe Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 you could instead have a soutbox that people need to have lost 50 post to enter and the standard where every on is welcome, just to get rid of those who join and just complained in the shoutbox 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azaxx Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I want. And say we NEED a shoutbox ONLY for people trusted enough by moderators, and who have been on the site for over 4-6 months. It's absolutely horrible seeing the current shoutbox with constant hate and arguments. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Azaxx, I couldn't agree more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiQuid BioniX Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Maybe a public shoutbox and one for Trusted Members and above (or a SB that is invite only, like the OP said). That'd be awesome... it gets depressing seeing people get in ******** matches over this stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Ackbar Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 With that thought. I wouldn't be able to get on the shout box. Having been here 3-6 months. *Sadface* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Dont Screw Up Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 With that thought. I wouldn't be able to get on the shout box.

SykoWolf Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Im completely in agreement with this. The current shoutbox is flooded by troll,s and GIMME GIMME MY CODE!!, a private shoutbox would allow those who have been here longer and who know better a way to actually shout to each other without being flooded down by insults and swear words. I mean , I was up till 2 in the morning directing people to xbox support and waypoint, im just over it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know and it's sad that good people leave because of it, the good old days were much better, sure we may make some good friends out of this, but still these trolls and such are destroying what used to be one of the best places on the internet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiQuid BioniX Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I submit that we have a group of troll-killers who just patrol the current shoutbox and we have a separate one also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
