If you are experiencing problems and have to leave the room,
Why not inform one of the 20 or 30 so members to explain to the Op, then i'm sure the room wouldnt be closed, i have happiled stayed in a room awaiting the return of the host for such problems.

i really wished it worked like that but some ops can be a bit over zealous like last night . 9.30 am i opened the room come 1.45 am i went for a loo break and to make a drink leaving 4 other people in my room . loe and behold i get back to my seat no more then 5 minutes after and see a chat op in my room . i start typing hi and her name without a word from her that i could see bang goes my room and i,m booted from my room in server 3 to a main room in server 1 all room members gone . i know you know who,s hosting rooms cos i,ve had it all before my name was there i was there less then 5 minutes i was gone and i,m wiped out again . i am not a happy chappie to have my room open 16 hours and wiped out just because i go to the loo make a drink or have to reboot it isnt a fair practice to us who take time out to make members welcome and try to give them a area where they can go to meet others in the same area. i,m now beginning to wonder why i even bother being a host.

No need to check the logs Col, as we both know that chat op was me. I came into the room early hours of the morning and as I always do, I said hi in the room.
On receiving no reply from either u or anyone else, I whispered hello? to you, still no reply. Now I am not sure how fast you type but I had been in that room a good few minutes, definitely over five, and Hi Fi doesnt take that long to type so not quite sure on how to respond to that bit!!
As Alex had suggested to you, maybe if you are leaving the room you could inform the people in there because I can assure you, no one answered in the room last night (as the logs will show) and certainly no one spoke up for you to say u had had to nip off and wouldnt be long. If they had, I would quite happily have waited for you.

Col, if your friends had bothered to respond to Fiona's "hi", the room would not have been closed.
You may have started to type your response at the very moment Fi was pressing the "close room" button, hence why you were booted mid sentence and without her seeing your reply.
It's not a conspiracy
We don't close rooms for the fun of it. We all work jolly hard in chat and at times there are multiple un hosted rooms. We close these in line with the guildlines we are given.
There may be several hundred rooms at any one time and if even a quarter of these are unhosted, it makes our work that much more difficult to keep control of them, hence the reason for closure.
Perhaps next time you go for a pee or whatever, you could ask your friends to find their manners and at least reply to any op that may pop in the room and explain your short absence.
If they don't then the room will be closed as un hostless. It's not rocket science now is it

Thanks Fiona & Tj right firstly i think a bit of leeway is needed here on both sides if you entered a room saw the host name wasnt there i can understand closing a room up right away without doubt however when you go in a room see the hosts name is there then chances are there not to far away so maybe give 10 to 15 minutes come back and try again if you got to then if no reply close the room as there obviously null and void . I host this room daily as you well know i go by the rules i stick with the rules and if i need to close my room down because i,m off to bed then i close it if i cant remove someone then i,ll call a op but when you call me and i dont answer and my away signs not up i,m never to far away but we all need to stretch our legs a bit from time to time . Fiona i do apologise if you thought my mail was a bit strong but it really was just an enquiree and yes on reflection you done what you had to by your book so no problem i,m sorry col

Col you really would be surprised by the amount of room hosts who log in, leave the rooms after a while but stay logged in but not actually at their pc's for hours, just so the room can stay open. Room members say each time an op visits - "he just gone to get some coffee" "gone for a wee" etc - funny that they are always AFK when the op's call in the room
You see where this is coming from?
As both Fi and I have explained - Fi gave you several minutes to reply, as is normal practise, but since no one in your room bothered to speak either, it could have been assumed that you were all away from your keyboards - even more reason to close the room.
What is more, we do not have the time to keep revisiting every hostless room every 10 - 15 minutes - I would guess that Fi was the only op on line at that time of the night, so would have been extremely busy.
I cannot fathom that closing a room could cause so much trouble. Personally, I'm rather tired of this topic now.
Rooms are closed all the time - the op's have a job to do and you of all people should understand that

Will there be a facility in the future to be able to close your room yourself as you leave it?
I have to confess to often forgetting to find an op when I've left a room I've opened, and three times now, the room has been abused after I've gone and the people left have had to find an op. I'd feel a lot more comfortable if I could close it on my way out.

Mal, is this still the case? I opened a room today (first time for everything
) and asked everyone to leave before I left thereby it shutting itself as I was the last to leave. If I had left while others were still in it would it have given the 20 sec warning? There were no ops online when I left.

In the chatroom we have currently it will either close when empty or close when an op pushes the button.

When I was an op it was always the case that a warning should be given but occasionally an Op may be going out/to work etc and be required to close a room immediately and so it may not always be possible to warn...

It was closed because I received a PM from the room host asking me to close it. I was busy in the Forum and wasn't logged into the chatroom so I closed it without entering the room.
Sorry if it was inconvenient for any of you!

Can I ask another question
We seem to have a lot of confusion on the bi/gay wank room about asking in the main chat area for phone sex/chat.
The room hosts are advising that phone chat is not allowed, the only place for phone is the forum etc.
However, certain members are expressing that it does not state this in the chat rules.
Can you please advise?
