Tay Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Hey everybody, It's time to talk about FuwaChat. I'm interested in hearing your (yes, you!) thoughts about it. At least for now I see FuwaChat as an experiment. Like most recent changes, we as a community will revisit this in a few weeks to assess its efficacy I've been getting a lot of reports that spam and derailing chatter are decreasing thanks to moderation. That kind of interaction isn't ever going to go away, though, so I'm interested to see if FuwaChat can fill that need On some level it's also intended as a bridge until I can get all our ducks in a row and do that whole 'lounge*' overhaul I realize it could also be a horrible decision : P Before making a move on this, does anybody want to speak up, share their thoughts, or offer suggestions for implementation? * Lounge by Rooke Corporation International Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solidbatman Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I won't use it simply because it will be moderated by fuwastaff. I much prefer offsite chat because I can say whatever the hell I want, about whoever I want. That said, its not like its a bad thing I guess?

jeftai Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 just wanna know are there gonna be mods on it or is it gonna turn into a unrestrained chat about x thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 As said above, it's worth a try. Depends on who will moderate it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stray Cat Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Sure, let's give it a whirl. You might want to start prepping a new list of Mods however because this will probably be what happens to most of us.

Kosakyun Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 A chat mainly for random things? Why not. Surely nothing can go wrong with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosebleed Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Let's just roll it out and see how it goes, I don't mind helping moderate it either if you need applicants for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakamutt Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 The results of this are fairly unpredictable, so I'd just roll it out and see as well (but do have mods from the start...). Do be aware that chats like these can be all nice and peaceful for a long time then flare up into shitstorms (we have seen this happen in certain other places).

Kaguya Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Do be aware that chats like these can be all nice and peaceful for a long time then flare up into shitstorms (we have seen this happen in certain other places). Shitstorms or AMApocalypses. That was actually a thing. I think a shoutbox was the first idea I posted in the improvements board. Nice to see it happening~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipsed Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Looking forward to the shoutbox just wanna know are there gonna be mods on it or is it gonna turn into a unrestrained chat about x thing. I'm guessing it will be unrestrained chat, but anything that is extremely negative/inflammatory/attacking will be moderated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nohman Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I think it's worth a try. In my experience they're usually harmless additions to a page. Plus, I can see it being fun. I just hope it doesn't have an annoying sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keaton Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I will most likely drop by and use it every once in a while but like batman said i prefer using the offsite chats that fuwanovel members use. Will the chat be moderated and if so too what degree will it be moderated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I don't see any reason for this to be more moderated than your typical IRC/TS. That is, as long as you don't abusively flood the thing or insult everyone and their mom (especially the moms, you don't insult the moms okay), anything goes. The simple mention of "moderation" seems to give trollish people bad ideas anyway... It's more public than an IRC/TS I guess so maybe not the best place to vent your frustration about how someone posted a stupid thread or something though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more public than an IRC/TS I guess so maybe not the best place to vent your frustration about how someone posted a stupid thread or something though I agree, any more moderation than this and it won't be a free chat anymore. I don't see how it could cause any harm. A trial experience as planned is probably the best way to go about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
