I wonder who actually does hold the ban hammer.

I see one can get flagged by anyone, does that automatically kick someone out?

Either way, definitely need a new place, otherwise everyone will be banned it seems.

I think we have a Troll/asswipe/former MM member/random stranger (pick one) having juvenile fun with the "report" button. hmm

We need a private, MM members only, chat room with moderator powers held by one of us.

If anyone knows of some good software to put on a website to do this I could probably set one up for y'all. I've been wanting to do this for photoshop webinars but don't wanna put out the cash if it won't work.

I just read throug tinychat's privacy policy & TOS and could not find anything dealing with the subject of nudity.  Where is this info on their site?

I did find that it looks like only the room moderator has ban capabilities.  Also, if the room is empty, the first person to sign in gets to be the moderator! yikes  This happened to me yesterday morning when I checked the room and found it empty.  Instead of the usual sign-in, it started to assign me as moderator.

Edit:  I found this on a second read:

Tinychat requires that all users, broadcasters and chat participants only produce broadcasts and messages that are suitable for mainstream audiences and that are not generally considered objectionable or offensive. Tinychat will remove any video and/or chat discussions that are found to be in violation of this policy. Tinychat reserves the right to remove without notice any content communicated by any user(s) for any reason. Tinychat has no obligation to delete, remove or modify any content.

That's actually pretty vague, and does not specifically prohibit nudity - although I suspect Jebbia's crossed the line there a time or two! tongue

I'd say removing the link from OP is a good idea, so anyone who wants it has to PM. That way less strangers should be able to find us.

That would reduce it against future problems, but the troublemakers & trolls have already found it and have been coming back each night.

A better solution might be an entirely new room with a different URL, and not make that url public.

The only problem I have with that is having to constantly answer PM's..That could get a bit out of hand.

Plus, if I'm not at my desk that leaves people knocking but can't get in.

I don't know how this would work, but with cooperation from MM then maybe we could have a chat room where you'd log in with your MM credentials.

However, be aware that it might get a little overwhelming with people PMing you with requests.

No problem.  Before I provide the link to just anyone, I may ask for a second opinion or two from the other four volunteers if I get link requests from random MM members who do not regularly post in the forums or are unknown to SF2 regulars, or who are known troublemakers.

I already don't feel welcome, as I am not an SF2 regular. Having it private like this and with restrictions on who can get a link to the chat only perpetuates the idea of having an "in" crowd. Jmo.

All we want to do is keep out the underage kids, trolls and non-members mainly.  There's over a million members on MM.  The forum posters are pretty well known.  Nobody has suggested a post count requirement.  I don't know why you don't feel welcome on sf2, but I would never keep you from joining the chatroom. smile

Right now, I've got Moderator powers in tinychat.  The dude in a bikini assures me he is an MM member.

I'm thinking seriously about asking a couple of others for their MM numbers, and if I don't get them, to kick their asses off.  Everyone from MM welcome - yes.

Everyone else - piss off.

It's John's room though.  If he doesn't want me to do this, then I will ignore them.

I agree with that. I've always been one to welcome all. Even those I don't necessarily like.

Honestly, I think the Tinychat is fine. Just keep your clothes on. (reminds self)...

Anyone we wanna see naked, just go to their portfolios... But the minute you start inviting only certain people is when the fun ends. It's what ruined the Yahoo chats we used to do.

Sort of reminds me of Lord of the Flies.

I think anyone on MM should be welcome. smile  If they prove to be a troll, then deal with them later.

We do need to filter out the general public just to keep the underaged kids out, if nothing else.

MM never claimed to be family friendly.

Ditto. To be frank, the naked peeps are helping to invite this. So if people are offended that men come in with bikini's on, they'll have to check their irony at the door. Me personally, I don't really care either way, it is what it is.
