    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? :-p

    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.

    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

    He did not choose the wrong thread.
    That is spam. It has nothing to do with the topic of the thread.

    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.

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

    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? :-(

    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
    What function?

    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
