This is following on from a comment I made to Kentswingers in the Stalking thread........
Kent uses two chat ops, he's got used to them and they act immediately if he has a problem and that is great just what admin are aiming for I would have thought...happy chat users.
It got me thinking about opping and how I could do it better. Now bearing in mind I can't be here any more than I am already and that when I am online you can see me and PM if you need me...what else can I/we do that we are not doing already. I havn't discussed this with anyone else it's totally impromptu so if it offends then remove it. I have put it in the cafe as thats where I happen to be at the moment, but again perhaps it's best in the chat forum.
This isn't a thread for anyone to say thanks for sorting out that problem for me in 2005 or whatever it was. it's for helpful constructive criticism.
Do you only use ops you know or you like or do you use whoever is online at the time you need them. If you like a particular op (no names please, this isnt an appreciation thread) why? what do they do that works for you.

Yes Anais you are right and it is something I have mentioned before. Maybe an out of office email straight back type of thing would be good and then the person who needs help immediately knows that you are not there and can then get help elsewhere if it is urgent. Either that or get the delay taken off it is possible.
I hate it when this happens to me as I feel it looks like I havn't bothered to try and help.

I fully understand that ops cannot be on 24/7 and they have there own lives to lead but there has not been any on all afternoon today.
The owner of the chatroom i have been in today left for a few hrs and its been constant directing which really annoys me. Then about the room just went into a mass of arguments. Single guys accusing fems of being men and 1 guy came in screaming and balling to a fem and she had absolutly no idea of what he was on about!!!
I spotted an op online and mailed.. but of course, to late. It must of been in that 10/15 mins where it shows then still online and they left without reading the mail. There is no point mailing admin on a saturday as they don't seem to get it or reply till mondays.
So in the meantime of no ops online... Can somebody please tell me what we are suppost to do?

PLEASE take notice of when i say... Ops have there own lives and i do not at anytime expect any of you to be here 24/7.
Even if i had an ops number i would never use it if they were offline.
Don't ever think of yourself as that Lilmiss.
You are a concerned member who cares what happens on here as is the vast majority of the good people on here, the ops mods and admin do a good job but without the members help our job would be a hell of a lot harder.
This site unlike others I could mention, cares about what goes on in it and the conduct of it's members not only towards each other but to the human race in general.
So keep on doing what you are doing people and make this a safe and happy site for all concerned.
Please may I ask a question? I don't want it to be taken the wrong way either.
What use is a Op being online if we cannot see them to report something when needed?
