There is only one chat room that members can access, the Default Room. They're should be more rooms, for example: Junior member room, Full member room, and Senior member room. Administrators. and Global Moderators, of course would have access to any and all rooms regardless of member status. So, is that a grand idea or what?
 
I think that may be a bad idea. Some members may be annoyed that they cant interact with other members due to their status. I think the one rooms fine.

Well of course the default room would stay. So, for example, a senior member like Aztec Triogal could interact with a member of different, or lower status like Tana or something.

I think anything that creates division among members is a bad idea, honestly. Even with the default room staying, the chances of members using it instead of a special one for their status are slim.
 
i don't like the idea of "status-rooms" as theirs only like....15 senior members and it seems a bit eliteist to be honest...

it would be nice if we were able to create our own rooms though, so like friends could talk without having to be interupted by people whom they may not wish to talk to.
 
Staff can't make their own rooms either. I believe there's an additional costs when adding additional features. And I agree with AG here..."status-rooms" would make the newer members feel a bit left out.

I like the Default Room, but I do believe it would be nice to have an additional room, where ALL members can access as well. I realize that the room would freeze every once in awhile when there's too many people, so having another room can help, and members can switch from room to room as they like.

But the Default Room is fine by itself. Couldn't ask for more, really. It's a great way of meeting new people, and talking about stupid stuff with your friends. xD

Now that I can agree with.
 
Think about what your proposing people. I can see maybe one other room being made, but allowing even 3 or 4 more? No. The mods wouldn't be able to watch all of them all the time, and sooner then later they would be being abused with people either flaming or cybering or doing something else that I don't even want to think about out of the way of mods and everyone else.

Status rooms also could be seen as elitist, but then again, senior members are meant to be elistest so I could see that being done. Remember though, that would also be putting a lot of attention on yourselves and that if any of you got into a fight in your room or anything, it would be very simple for the mods to find out who it was and what it was about.

Really though, in my opinion we have the default room and anymore would really just not be needed besides staff rooms.
 
Besides, the more the merrier. I like the idea of having one big room so that any member who wants to can participate in the chat without having to feel left out. Even yesterday when I got on the chat with 13 others, it was cool to just get on and kick it with random members from the site that I've never personally talked to before.

Their is a default room, a moderator room, and a room for the RPG mod discussions. Also there is a feature to create your own room, so if you want to invite friends to it, that option is always open.
 
To be honest, I'd never noticed the chat room until now.
I can't see extra rooms being needed yet. Maybe in another years time when the forum has grown a bit bigger, and more people are coming then there may be a need for it. Just not yet.
 
Actually, that is what their talking about. Members don't have the correct permissions to create rooms. (For good reason imo)
 
RPG room=never used. Can an admin please replace it with a room where me and my starship crew can seek out new life, discover new civilizations and boldly go where no one has gone before?
 
I think the RPG room is fine. But maybe calling it Dungeon Masters would be better. Ambi, get the password.
