great post meeshoo, i agree with all you have said.
also great to see you back :mysmilie_696: and could i be cheeky and ask you a question please, what does fissure filled ruby mean? see it on tjc and am abit lost!:mysmilie_687:
Apparently there are 2 only me's on there just for the record I am the one without a space "onlyme"
Surely the username onlyme either with or without a space would have shown as already in use. :mysmilie_81:
well i doubt i'll be posting on rocks chat as much now if at all for paranoia and fear of getting bashed on here if i go "off topic" so you may get the odd hello but that will prob be all
i've not been in rocks chat since they very first started but logged in (after getting my password reset via online help, great service! ) last night as i'd seen a couple of things i fancied.
as a 'newbie', i found it really uncomfortable to see chatting about alzheimers & someone's son with tourettes. these were quite involved conversations with a fair bit of personal detail then we had an email addy put up by a user for you to send her your info for a 'reading'.
it really wasn't what i was expecting & nearly made me just close the browser, i know the option is available to turn off chat, but that was my 1st reaction. someone did pass comment "thought this was jewelery chat?", which did get responded to politely along the lines of 'but also includes off topic stuff too'.
in the end, i probably stayed online about 30 mins & made 1 or 2 comments about jewellery & Barry being a lovely presenter.
i have no answers or suggestions, just thought i'd add my 2p from a newbie perspective. as it stands, i can't see how it can carry on without moderation. & agree, we've surely given rocks enough info to decide what they are going to do.
I agree something needs to be done about the chat. Moderators are an option but Rocks is a business and therefore I feel if the chat is to be moderated it should be done by Rocks staff, whether it is by someone brought in or by current CS staff or otherwise that is for Rocks to decided.
