multiple chat rooms

Re: multiple chat rooms

I don't know where the hell you've been, but I bann tons of people. In the last week or two I've probably banned more people than any other MP mod. I see Kit on once every few days and nothing really happened when I see her in MP. Everyone seems to be coming to me on AIM/MSN reporting spammers and stuff

Thanks for responding. Yes, you do a good job when you're there, and yes, I see various others come on as well, but primarily in the late afternoon, evenings, which is good because that is the peak time. But the majority of the time when I enter outside of the peak, there is no mod, which is understandable because most if not all mods live in the states and have their own lives. I think it would be a fair idea to mod a few people overseas to handle the spamming/BoS members appearing in the mornings/early afternoons. But this has little to do with what I seek in this thread.

This IS a good idea, but I really don't want this happening.

Look, we create say, 3 rooms. (Example Beginner (1-7), Intermediate (8-14), Advanced (15+)). would people be completely unable to access higher level rooms if they were a level 4 or something? Only have access to the Beginner room. If no, then we'll have people of all levels be in all of the rooms every minute of every day. You couldn't filter it out, and I really don't want to kick people out of an Advanced room for being a level 4. It's just stupid.

Well, I'm suggesting a filter so this wouldn't be a problem.

If we DO make it to where they can't enter rooms of higher skill levels than what these people may be, we'll also have problems with modding. Lower level people will want a mod to come into their room and do some modding, but they can't go into the higher level rooms to come get us. The only way they'd be able to contact us is through a messenger service or something, and I DO NOT want a ton of noobs IMing me for that. I get it enough with higher level people as it is

Then it must be made clear of the requirements to enter a room, and if they still bother you, feel free to kick/ban for stupidity.

Why not have mods for each room? Have a level 1 - 7 person be a mod for the beginner room? Problem with this too. 1. The person can just play MP and have his/her level exceed the room level requirements, therefore possibly removing them from the room. Nobody is going to want to remain at a low level for ever. 2. Beginner mods....think. They're going to be noobs. Do we really want noobs moderating any part of the site? Yeah, we could assign the current MP mods to certain rooms, but I'm sure that not one of us will want to go into a room and stay there. We'll want to be in any room we want, which will be the Advanced room.

Well, actually contrary to what this thread has been leading to, I would be fine with just 2 rooms, one general room for everyone, and one 'advanced' room for those who are decent. Mods may continue to stay in the general like nothing new happened, and if any incident occurs in the advanced room, someone can snatch a mod from the general room.

If you have any other concerns or comments, please feel free to post.

EDIT:

*No offense, but not all beginners are obnoxious n00bs. T-T

I stated this before but I'm not assuming all beginners are obnoxious n00bs, but that the vast majority of obnoxious n00bs are beginners.

Re: multiple chat rooms

I think it would be a fair idea to mod a few people overseas to handle the spamming/BoS members appearing in the mornings/early afternoons. But this has little to do with what I seek in this thread.

Yeah, we all do have our lives. I'm on the computer most of the time that I'm home though. I'm able to come in and kick or ban someone when someone comes to me reporting someone, always. The only time I'm not able to do so is when I'm asleep, at school, or just out of the house but that's rare.

Have a few overseas mods? Well, let's think. We've got Europe. They're 6 - 8 hours ahead of us. So the times that they would most likely be on to do anything would be 3 - 12 PM(Midnight), which would be 6 AM - 4 PM US times. That could work, seeing as how I think all of us (Except Shash) are at school from probably around 7 AM to 3 PM. (Me, I'm at school from 7:30 AM to 2:20 PM). Still, me and Kat are still pretty new to the MP staff. I highly doubt that they'll want to make any changes at least until the winter months of 2007/2008.

I personally, would want to be able to see everything that happens in MP when I am in there, and am able to do something. Multiple rooms means that I couldn't see what goes on in more than one room at a time. We can't open new tabs or windows on the internet and have each room up in each tab, we can only be in MP in ONE location. I also want people to be able to come to me with a problem, and me be able to deal with it right there where everyone can see what happened. I want everyone to have access to me at all times, in one room. Not come search for me in 2 - 4 different rooms. Someone spams in room 2, and I'm in room 4... the person could go through each room and find me in the last room they look in. Come get me to ban this person, and since they wasted 30 seconds or whatever searching for me, the spammer is already gone, and I'm unable to do anything.

I would say more, but my lunch shift is over, crap

Re: multiple chat rooms

do it

Re: multiple chat rooms

that is true....i also think they should have people be mods that are on all the time but also are good...and put it so that if you are a mod then you can open up multiple tabs and be able to be in more than 1 room at one time...making mp have more of a supply of mods and more efficient banning/kicking of bad people

Re: multiple chat rooms

Ehh... I think I'm out of place here, *newb* but I'd like to add my own thoughts to this collection, if I may. <_<>_> *feels slightly anxious at being surrounded by high level players*
Warning: I write a lot, volume-wise. ^^"

* I think that it's a good idea to separate the rooms based on both MP skill level, and overall rank; since overall rank is much steadier than MP level.
(Ex:Right now I'm MP lvl 12 because I had a lucky day, chances are I'll be back down to 5 after I have a bad day)
* Pehaps 4 rooms, if that's not too much? Something along the lines of:
---
Beginner (lvls x - x) < More mods
Intermediate (lvls x - x) < Less mods
Advanced (lvls x - x) < Less mods
General (all lvls) < More mods
---
I know that's a lot of rooms, but it covers all the bases. Or at least, I think so. I can't speak for others.
* Perhaps everyone can enter the rooms, but only those who meet the ranking requirements can post.
* Just a hypothetical. I don't know how this will work out when it comes to actually creating the rooms. :\ Do you think this arrangement would be too impractical to actually do?

i like this one............, but with only 3 rooms,and the chioce to muteor iggy people. and if there are too little mods, synth ansd the rest of the team should get more. i mean, there are alot of noteworthy people on ffr. go to the top scorers list and you have 1000 could be mods. and if they *** up the place, ban or recind(i think thats the word) thier priveliges.( i cant spell!!!!)


Edit:

noteworthy

lol, pun........

Re: multiple chat rooms

This had potential but seriously, it will never happen. I think everyone is just having fun comeing up with ideas.

Re: multiple chat rooms

Sorry, but this would be difficult for Moderators. It is a good idea, but Moderators can't be 100 places at once. One room is hard enough already.

Yeah, I could sort of see what your saying, but still, we'd need alot more Moderators.
