I see some people get very insensed about others whispering to them in the chatrooms. My question is what is so bad about it, I am a newbie here so please excuse my ignorance
This might be better asked in the chatrooms wink

in a lot of chatrooms across the internet it is considered to be rude to whisper without asking first... which is why they normally say ask before you do it...
plus to be honest.. why do you need to whisper in the first place if you have never spoken to the person before???????
I presume you're talking about whispering to people you don't know too well or at all - and would it be mainly women you're talking about as well?
Well I ain't a chatroom expert by any means but imagine you're a girl in a pub talking to a bunch of mates and this stranger comes over to you and says 'Hey, come over here into this corner and have a quiet word with me.' What do you think her reaction would be?
Then imagine that you are the 15th bloke that to have come over and said that to her tonight. What do you think the response would be then?
No whispers is also a rule in some of the rooms - so if you're in one of those and you/ someone whispers, then the recipient usually copies and pastes it into the room - and the whisperer usually gets kicked.
It is considered rude - but also its 'inconvenient' - some people like to chat openly in the room and being pulled off to one side for a private chat makes the room difficult to follow dunno
its another one of those things that form the etiquette around here - particularly in chat, you'll pick it up pretty quick! :thumbup:

Can't believe this I'm bantering away with the SH banter maestro here! cool
OK OK wow did that rustle up a hornets nest. No seriously thanks for your response, all who contributed, and I very much appreciate the female side, thank you especially westerross (where the hell did you get that name from) I think your analogy made a lot of sense. The rest I think was a little "in house" and when straight over my head. Disclaimer: I would like to make it clear to all concerned that I have never and will never whisper without prior acknowledgement or consent. Or something like that. PS We need more people from the south of England on this site, Whisper or perhaps they don’t do it there. I would now insert a smiley, but I don't know how to.

In theory nothing as long as the room is not a 'No Whispering' room.
But in practice you might want to consider....

I don't mind people asking first because then I can say "No" publicly in the room then everyone else knows not to bother asking!
cool
As others have mentioned, speaking from a female perspective as soon as you enter a chat room you usually you get a lot of guys whispering you at the same time and usually they haven't even read your profile, they are simply spamming you.
Ever tried having a conversation in a chatroom whilst every other sentence is a whisper from somebody else?

i think many people go over the top about whispers, personally i can't see the harm after all you wouldn't go upto someone in the street and ask permission to say hi first would you?

Good point but by the same token you wouldn't walk up to someone and whisper to them if they were in a middle of a conversation with another person.
If people just want to say hi to you then why would they need to whisper?
The guys that whisper in chat do not usually ask permission to talk to you privately first. They just go ahead and say things like 'wow, great pic!' followed by 'you make me horny... I can be over in half an hour, I only live 5 miles away from you' as if that makes it alright. rolleyes Most of the times they just copy/paste the same lines to all females in chat. This has been seen many times when I cut/paste their rude whisper in public and another girl or two happen to be doing the same at the same time! You never see a man disappear more quickly when he is found out! LOL
I consider virtual chat same as being in a public place with lots of people. You wouldn't accept someone coming to your side and whispering in your ear, would you? So why accept it in chat? Do I stop being a person with feelings and become an object of lust and a hitting target just because I am in chat? I am sorry, good manners should prevail at every situation, at all times.

also a good point lol
i think it depends on what bothers u, personally if someone whispers me and i don't want to chat i just ignor it they soon gte bored and go away lol

Exactly each to their own and all that. I tend to ignore whispers but sometimes people just catch me on a bad day! :twisted:

i havn't seen anything in this thread saying that it wasn't.....like people have said it is common decency to ask in public 1st before whispering...
It is the people who don't ask 1st and just do it that get on people's nerves and Tune's analogy is a very good one....
me personally.. i ask people not to do it first nicely and chat in public.. if after that they don't listen then i get a teeny weeny bit mad....smile after all if they can't respect your wishes in regards to a simple "whisper" what else are they not going to respect????

I was bought up to think it's rude to whisper so i dont. But some times you may need to get a message over quickly so i will do it, but i just drop a sorry about this but --- in first.
It's not often the situation arises though.

I think it's more a problem for the women than for the guys ... can you imagine how irritating and chaotic it must be to be getting all these 'whispers' coming in from single blokes hoping to strike lucky if they can get a 1-to-1 conversation going?

Yeah, you usually get one shot across the bows from him and he's off over the horizon! :roll:
Be very careful - this is strange.
I dont mind whispers personally as long as theyre friendly and not persistant. i hate those who keep whisperin despite them bein told they are not what i'm looking for etc . However cant see why peeps get irrate about friendly ones but each to their own i suppose wink

Do you know what I think PL?
I think your atavar is scrumptious!
sillyhwoar:
I generally only go in two rooms, the forum chat room and s wales room, I've tried a few others but it's just so annoying not to be able to join in the conversation because you're dealing with numpties the whole time. You can tell when the pubs have closed, they come in, don't say a word to the room and start wispering to every woman in there. My policy, paste the wisper in the room, ask the room in general not to wisper, if they do it twice they get kicked. I have had several occassions where they've got quite abusive because I've pasted the wisper in the room but it does make me wonder if that approach ever works and if not - why do they keep doing it?
