You all [are] the admins on duty at the time - defending the chat well its as plain as the nose on your face  just some of the questions are in rapid fire  where you from, have you posted yet, are you going to post, how old are you, that one should not matter you run a clean site no matter what age ,then if they are a bit or a lot shy the next question is why are you not talking or just maybe they are looking to see if the chat is what they really want because if it does not suit them they are going to leave anyway what I guess I'm trying to say is just for a short let them have a little leeway indulge for 30min or so let them feel there way a bit don't rush them if at the end of 30min or so they just might stay or even go [Yes] never know.

Thanks for the clarification Max... I think I need to clear up some things that you might be misguided on.

1. Users cannot enter the chat room without permission so I would have already checked to see if they joined the forum and posted, no need to ask them that. If other mods do, it is not necessary.

2. Most chat users contact me via email and I'm long before or during their presence in the chat room and the biggest complaint I get is 'no one is talking' so they actually welcome the questions, etc.

3. All users have to understand that this is a community, so although it is fine to come and just 'look' in a way it is rude to log in and then say nothing. In fact if you say nothing long enough... Like 45 days your account will be deleted for inactivity.

4. We have a moderator board so we will work on the best way to handle new and 'old' users of the chat. Thanks for the input.

I understand now what you mean max although I disagree with it. Most people like JB says always tell us how when they're in the chat room nobody talks to them but you know it has a lot to do with different kinds of personalities, after all we are all different from each other, so here we are catering a web site for the whole world! isn't that a easy task?

What about the type of user that is intent on posting links everywhere. They cannot make a simple post without linking to some site to sell a product or service! Once more when you bring their attention to it they act as if they can do whatever they want and become very rude, this only further proves that they knew what they were doing in the first place since if it were done innocently then the response would have been different. However, I fail to see how this is possible since ALL OVER this forum, in the rules, etc specifically says, 'Do not post links to commercial sites!'.

What about the type of user tht makes a mistake in one post and then follows up with another post to talk about the mistake they made in the first post... grrrr... couldn't they just contact the administrator or use the report button instead of making the problem bigger by double posting?

The Linked Poster

Why do some people like to solve things by links to other people's words? It is like having a conversation and you ask the person... "Which color do you like the most?" And they reply, "Well if you go look in that book over there you will find out what colors are all about". It is not my question, it is just an avoidance of the answer.

What about the poster who express their views and then they say nevermind because they cannot even understand themselves

And then there are the eloquent posters, with well-thought-out messages, links for reference, and a flair for the literary *smile* I love that.
