People are just going to assume you've went offline because you are busy or because your internet connection dropped out. Telling nobody via PM's that there is an issue won't get the issue sorted.

I agree that the chat can sometimes be a little vulgar, but it has never been a problem in the past. I did not see the situation you mentioned Drak so cannot give any opinion on it.

I watched Ikabite(sorry for the name drop Ika, but I need to make a point) give warning after warning to no avail while getting pretty much mocked as others in the chat keep going on with the discusion. At some point it turned into a joke of sorts. UselessArgonianMage (also sorry for the name drop Yam) did kick a user who was agging it on at some point, but that didn't stop the what was going on and that too was made into a joke.

And at some point I guess they just stoped paying attention, because right after that Canes4ever and another user by the name of Azura started using the chat as a "Sex Chat". They would'nt take it to PM's and "played" out a little sceen for all to see. Brandonsolo10 only made matters wosre by asking "what it felt like to F**k a Godess". And that was only on one day. This is the worst one that i've seen so far. I did not see this situation Drak so cannot give any opinion on it. If it happened, then I'm not sure why kicks weren't given out, maybe UAM felt that the discussion was not inappropriate enough to warrant kicks / bans, based on the users who were in the chat at the time.

Is that the type of thing that needs to be going on in the chat? It is what that chat should be like? Well if things don't change a little it'll be that and possibly worse. Topics along this line should result in Mods being extreamly less lenient and ban after 1 warning. A repeate offender should be prema-banned. That's all i'm asking for because at this rate it's hard for me to even go into that chat when those who do these things are online.

Keep in mind that this is the worse of the worst things that should result in these actions being taken not all rule bend(in this case breaks) should rusult in these punishments. We cannot regulate every single chat message that is posted. Moderators make their own discretionary decisions based on what they think is crossing the boundaries and is going "too far". I can say, though, that every discussion in the chat that I have seen has never went "too far" and has just simply been a group of users just having casual chat.

If you feel that some discussions in the chat are getting out of hand, contact a chat moderator and they will deal with the situation. We cannot do anything if we're not told about it. We cannot assume that every single discussion in the chat will be offensive and we rely on users to inform us of issues occurring in the chat.
