Remember, the forum is not a chatroom

Recently we've had a bit of a problem where users are treating the forum as a chatroom, which it is not.

It is perfectly okay to piggy back and forth in a topic, but the posts in the topic should be, for the most part, on topic.

Saying "Goodbye, I'm going to bed" is not a decent post in a thread talking about RnR's ending. Saying "Good morning all, sleep well?" is not a decent post in a thread discussing Ikuto's history.

So please, guys, keep this in mind. We don't want to become a spamhouse.

Do you think we can get a shoutbox? Or has that been asked already?

 

[Dash]

A majority seemed to have been against it.

If you want to chat remember we have the IRC chat room (or you can use the java under explore DATS)

Can you give more information about it?

 

[Trivial]

Why shoutbox was rejected??

And about IRC, i don't know the address
Mind if someone tell me?

 

[Vande]

Click on Explore DATS > Chat
Et vola there is the java chat

#dats @ rizon i think is the IRC. I don't use the IRC Version.

Trivial if you READ what Scip put futher down you will see a link to the debate topic, including why the majority of the staff did not want it.

I also suggest that people who do treat the forum as a chatroom, should get warnings and then be banned for whatever time should they continue, even staff should not be exempt.

^^^ Should take you there if you have an IRC client such as mIRC installed. If you don't want an IRC client and doesn't want to use Java chat. You can use mibbit, a web-based IRC client.

https/www.mibbit.com/?server=irc.rizon.net&channel=#dats
^^^ Mibbit URL, replace your Nickname, click connect and you're good to go!

Sorry, i guess you choose a wrong target
The thread is "What'll we do if Ryuu ends"
On that talk, we are talking about EXE since we might jump back to that series if Ryuu ends, and PET is the thing which we might jump onto

I think the good example is in Misora vs Luna thread

I do admit that i ever made a thread into looks like a chatroom
Sorry

 

[Zelsius]

He did not choose the wrong thread.

Yes, i still have a lot of other games that needs to be completed
Especially those horror games, and Clock Tower III

That is spam. It has nothing to do with the topic of the thread.

 

[Vande]

If you are truely sorry you would have stopped instead you still have carried on AFTER this thread was made.

You have been given stuff as alternatives (the chatroom) but you take no notice. Normally i jump but i TRIED to help you, giving suggestions on what to do but you've ingnored those as well.

There is no hope for some people.

I..agree...I still see them..lots...two individuals..replying to each other so often..fighting..to reply... >_> *sits quietly to watch its continuation*

 

[Rocknote]

But still, I didn't understand anything about "infraction".

 

[Thirdmaster]

I still think a Shoutbox would be more convenient though...... Spam would be really reduced with it, I'm sure......

The function you provided seemed a tad troublesome to me, you know?

 

[Trivial]

And, may i suggest one thing??
There should be a spam board
Where you can post anything in there
While the post number are not counted

Infractions are given when someone does something against the rule which does not qualify as a ban. It serves as a "warning"

I'm not so sure

The function you provided seemed a tad troublesome to me, you know?

What function?

 

[Thirdmaster]

Well, you said there was a Java chat function...?

If you're not comfortable with Java chat. You can either install mIRC or use Mibbit
