Prochat Revamp Suggestion

[igotrhythm]

On this other site I go to, the chat is powered by something called Ajax. How it differs from, say, IRC or whatever we have now, are in three major areas:

1. A message isn't sent to anyone until it can be sent to everyone. That way, if you're lagging, your messages aren't pinged back to you, and thus you know there's an issue.

2. There's an ignore function ( /ignore username and type again to repeal) that allows users to block messages from a chosen user from showing up on their screen. This could come in quite handy for the people like Novacaine and Jonathan123Ply84 that only come on to rustle people's jimmies.

3. Full BBCode support for all users. Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, quotes (with attribution!), link embedding, and so on.

(There's also no automatic idle-kick, but that's a minor thing)

Now I'm pretty sure that that would be something that Jon would have to take care of and his plate's already full, but if he's got the chops, I say go for it. To be honest, some people make ignoring them the old-fashioned way quite difficult.

Adding a "vote ban" option would be fun~

vote kick would be ideal, idk about vote ban

But a lot of other sites used votekick with a temp ban of 2 minutes as result of the votekick, it seemed to be very effective.

I doubt people would kick you just for existing in the pro-chat. I would imagine a vote kick would commence for something the community deems kick worthy.

Otherwise this feature would be immediately disabled for those who misuse it, and they would be banned for a certain amount of time. That is how it should work anyway.

You clearly underestimate the stupidity of this site at times

I wasn't thinking of just myself there though, there are others that it could be abused for / on

I like you :3, normally votekick would be in 10 man servers and 9/10 would have to vote yes to kick, if even 1 other person agrees not to kick you than the vote wouldnt pass. Idk I guess it would be rather difficult to figure out a fair ratio in a constantly changing chat size.

My old admin developed this. Best chat I've ever used. no lag with messages, infinite changes, etc. etc.

Re: Prochat Revamp Suggestion

Sorry but inaccuracies in the OP post are getting to me.

First of all, AJAX is not a chat program/client/etc... AJAX is a web technology which stands for Asynchronous Javascript and XML. It's basically some Javascript that continuously loads up data from/to the server. Now, could this be used in a chat program? Yes. Is it a chat program? No.

Secondly, what FFR prochat uses is not IRC. IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat and is a chat program, but is not what FFR prochat uses. IRC has its own commands, extensions, etc... and is very old and well-known. You can ask some of the admins what FFR prochat does use, but it isn't IRC.

It might seem like nit-picking, but it bothers me when people spread misinformation, as good-intending as they may have been, because that information can confuse others and so forth. Pretty soon it snowballs.

That said, I mean no offense to you, igotrhythm, and your suggestions aren't bad. I just felt the need to clear up some possible confusion.

Re: Prochat Revamp Suggestion

ok

Not what I said it's not limited to just me at all

This however would make it make sense as long as the people asked was randomized in a way.
