I enter plenty of chatrooms, but certainly don't recall entering the "Deaf" chatroom. Obviously, chatrooms with simple names are highly desireable and are going to be hard fought after, violently even. I'm terribly sorry that your friends and your "chatroom regulars" have been the victims of people who are out to ruin everyone else's fun.Marlon said:Dennis. Have you actually ever BEEN in the deaf rooms on AIM in the past year? Given your reply, I highly doubt you have ever spent a DAY there.
Nobody who's an deaf AIM chatroom regular would even agree with you on that.
The only reason for that is because your clique of friends apparently believe that lawlessness is better than being lawful. Now, I do understand that these bad people will also want to join and take over any new chatrooms you guys create, so you create this bot that changes rooms as necessary. Still that leaves SOMEONE in charge of the room, and it's gonna be you. You be careful that power doesn't corrupt YOU.
Even with 'formal' moderators, it always breaks down to 'who is FRIENDS with who' in the end, and it always turns out unfair because someone is doing special favors for someone that are unfair to others...
How cynical of you. Anarchy isn't better, it's far worse. Besides, there are moderators out there who do set up rules for themselves and follow them, even if their own personal feelings would be to ban someone right away. I don't see that happening here, I see you changing the bot in the near future to do certain things like prevent certain names from joining your chatroom.
