Can we get an update for the rooms so host have more controls like being able to close rooms you start or being able to change names, not the first time we've been warned about opening two rooms but the first was a spelling mistake couldnt find an OP to close it and with no way to rename it or close it our self we opened a new one just to be told by and OP who seemed to have got out of the bed the wrong side, if we do it again we're be site banned. The second was today again we wanted to change the name but was going out so asked for the room to be closed 3 hours later came home and the old room was still up so as we wanted a new name we started another "not our fault the OP's cant be bothered to close it" so again an OP joins and goes off on one again tells us if we open two rooms at the same time again we're be banned.
We're all up for keeping to the rules but when theres no OP's around these days you can go for weeks with out seeing one and no way to close rooms you've started your self what can we do. Just seems abit lame going of on one as an OP when theres not much we could do about it.
Or if your looking for more OP's we're be interested as we spend most of the day and night on here.

No idea how you miss chatroom OPs. There are 4 on at the moment and there has been for ages
I was also here until 2 am this morning
9 out of 10 times i find an op as soon as i need one failing that a thread saying "op needed now " brings them to your door! (if you warrent the problem serious enough) and remember the ops and mods and admin are all here doing US a favour its voluntary they do a great job and also have lifes like me and you!. :thumbup:
ps. why not just use the room with spelling mistake in name? instead of opening another?
pps. have you tried going into the forum/cafe when you have had these problems the list of users is on top of page and mods/ops show up in different colours (this is where i usually find them when needed!)

I have to say one of the biggest issues I have is that you have no idea who the room owner is..
The room could be title 'couple looking for VWE males' but you have to ask in the room who is actually looking etc.
Plus I think a room owner needs to be the first one controlling the room, so it would be nice to report things directly too them, so know who they where would help.
Also (maybe I should be doin a support ticket instead .. lol) would be nice to be able to to have an option avaiable to room owners to turn on or off whispers..

If you don`t know who the room owner is, best thing to do is ask. If you don`t get an answer and it`s important to you, then just move on to another room.
When we open a room we always put our name in the title, that way everybody knows who it is
Maybe that`s why nobody comes into our room !! :shock:
:shock: :?Awww, I am sure that is not the case... I will have to keep an eye out for you then and make sure I pay your rooms a visit.

I think Nikki and Steve have raised a valid point and to be censured and threatened with a ban is certainly not value added or a positive way forward. I believe that the new chat room if and when it appears will have a facility for the host to close the room.

yes it gives you 30 seconds from leaving and closes automaticaly

Don't agree with one of your points about the ops, mods and admins all "doing us a favour" as if this site is a charity....I know the ops and mods are volunteers and I've said plenty of times before I appreciate what they do. Admin is not unpaid - this is a commercial site. It is not unreasonable for users to expect someone to be on duty at all times and be easily contactable.
An issue users might encounter is that ops may be online but either hidden from the online list in the forum or using a non-op username. This means you don't always know someone's online when you need them.
What I'd like to see in the new chatroom is an alert button somewhere that will direct a message to someone who is on duty. That would save all the messing around and hopefully also make it easier and more consistent for ops/admin to deal with issues as soon as they happen (operating like a shared mailbox or call stack behind the scenes).
Absolutely agree with you about using a room name with incorrect spelling....and if someone's typed it so badly that no-one recognises the room....well, they need their fingers chopping off or a spell with Mavis Beacon

I just clicked on the forum tab at the top of this page and then scrolled down to the bottom of the forum list and saw 1 admin, 1 MOD and 1 Chat op...can't see that that was messing around. It was easy! to PM one just click on their name and away you go.

the admin bit was misplaced i meant the mods and ops are voluntary and do not get paid also i have never found a time when atleast 1 op wasnt online

wouldnt a support ticket (urgent priority) do the same thing?

Always, but always I am visible. If I'm on site, you can see me. Not a pretty sight, but at least I'm there.
If I do use an "non-op username", then that is in a separate window, and I remain logged in with my op account.

I've never personally slapped anybody down for a spelling mistake in a room title, nor threatened to ban somebody when it seems clear that its just a typo.
If I have found a host with more than one room, I just ask them which one they want me to close. - Even give them the choice.

I'm usually around most nights, but I'm struggling with my net connection at the mo and it can make it very difficult for me to get into chat at times. 
So if you PM me and I don't come running I apologise, but hopefully this will be sorted out in the not-too-distant future and I can pull my boots back on. :twisted:

As an interesting aside to this topic. When 
the new chatroom takes over from the old, When a person opens and hosts a room, on leavingthat room it shuts automatcally am I assuming right?.
If so what happens if the hosts connection to the interweb drops? or if the host needs to re-boot at all? does that mean a room potentially full of 70 people will be scattered to the many corners of chatland all saying to each other "what happened then, did everyone else get kicked?" :smile:
Got to be worth an ask hasn't it?
Oh the addition of a come see i need an OP button for the room Host would be a bonus to be sure though!

:lol2:
:grin: If you need to open another room ask a reg/friend to stay behind in the first chat room whilst you open the next one. The reg/friend requests everyone to leave and direct them to the new room, only takes five mins. Majority of people take notice an move to the new room. If they refuse to go, least you have it in the chat log that you tried to close the room.
Thats what we do/have done and it seems to work well for us...

I think it would be a great idea that whoever hosts the room should always either be at the top of the list of users at all times, or better still the room host is in a colour, where everyone else is in black. At least that way everyone knows who the room owner is. If nobody is in a colour then you know the room has no host and can either choose to leave or stay or contact an op to close the room. Simple I think!
I'm a bit concerned by how much control you want hosts to have! Turning whispers on and off?
I do agree that the room host should be clearly visible - maybe some kind of icon next to their name similiar to the Ops' star? Or when you enter the room, you get an automated message on the screen (if possible!!) like you used to ib mIRC - eg: "NE Room created 1400hours host: Marya_Northeast".
I'm not techie, I don't know if that would work. Maybe in the new chatroom?
I have spent a lot of time in both the chatrooms and Forum and if anyone else does this too then you get to know who are the Ops that are around at the same time as you. If yuo do need any help but can't find an Op then PM one of the names you know and at least you've done your best.
Just because they're name isn't showing doesn't always mean they're not there.
If an Op threatens a site ban for abuse then I'm sure they'll take on board the fact that you did try to PM someone else and informed the room of the situation.
I'm not sure I understand why the O.P. has to keep creating new rooms. If other people do this it would explain why some of can't get on the servers of our choice though.

I've been in most of the evening apart from when I've been booted just like everyone else. The PM button is the way forward.
Just as Northy said I also work 7 days a week, have young children and am getting sick of the moaning about there never being a chat op. We are all here alot of the time. Maybe we just are not in exactly the room you want us to be in at any given time though...sorry about that!
