The Boot In Rooms

23 Feb 2008

What is the point of having the boot as a room host if the person booted can re enter right away to carry on what they was booted for anyway.
Would it not be possible that if you booted someone from your hosted room they could not re-enter that room again that day or even for the next few hours.

This is the point where you report the issue to either a chatroom op, or to admin.
People used to whinge and moan that when their internet connection had a hiccup, they were forced to sit out a five minute ban.
This has now been removed.
I fear this is one of those can't do right for doing wrong situations...
Sadly if room hosts had the option to actually "ban" people from the site, this would be very quickly abused by some. (we already witness this with the kick button).
Please remember that the few people who have been trusted to have a ban button are fully accountable for their actions. Maybe that's because most people who get banned were actually totally blameless rolleyes

I like the fact that the 5 min wait has been removed and now there is a report user button in the tools section.
people who abuse others or anything on site will be reported and dealt wtih accordingly. As anywher once reported you just have to grit your teeth and bare the 'reported ones' til action happens but knowing you have done the correct thing.
