How do we fix it.. I suggested a 2nd chatbox where you can only post once every 5 mins
Also an idea I am getting is "paid promotions" like you pay XX points, you can post important news (The pop up in the lower right corner). So if you want to advertise, you can pay, in points..
Your thoughts?
Ch.2 and Popup Ad's seem great !
Please reference this thread: http://www.pokerowned.com/forums/f26...ity-25681.html
This was my gauge on trying to see what people thought was the current state of the chatbox
I have already said it but I think you just run channel 2 nothing much is on there anyway. I don't think points should be charged but anyone visiting or posting must have background check done and verified as to be trusted.
what if someone said like hey I put a llb up is that bad to say?? or you just cant say it multiple times??
That could work zab then 2nd chat box. As for the "paid promotions" that's a good idea also, but personally I prob. wouldn't pay points to post something but I'm sure other would go for that if they had something important to put up. How many points you talking about?
I say just do what jayyy27 said and open channel 2 to where the ppl that wanna stake n spam or w/e you wanna call it can do it in there, mission solved!!
Channel 2 has always been unmoderated with no rules.Quote:

Whats wrong with repeatedly posting something as long as its like a 10-15 min timeframe? Or is that Okay?
if we do 2 chat boxes I would prefer the spam thing under this one, and we don't have to moderate that thing do we?

like the every 5 min chatbox idea as it would help the spamer realize how long they are realy waiting. Some of the spamers may just be not watching the time between posts
And also, might want to include stupid parlay quote things in this too ! haha when some people start posting them shit quotes, they usually take up the whole chat for some dumb tennis game...
Also, are my 3-4 chat posts a day trying to sell my BCP considered spamming ? Or moderate enough to be acceptable ?
I get it from the traders \ stakers.. No one checks channel 2Quote:

lol is this forum not based on trading? It would be stupid to take these things out of main chat.
Make it easy, under the line that says
"- DON'T BEG (FOR ANYTHING) - BE CIVIL OR 30 MIN BAN (CHAT = NO DRAMA)- Green = Moderator | Pink = Super Moderator | Red = God" add another line that says something like "Channel 1 = general chat. Channel 2 = stakes, trades, pics, etc. NO exceptions."
or something similar.
Wouldn't it be nice to have that channel or chat always up and open?
All that requires is opening a new tab.Quote:

Totally Agree with CREDSFAN and if you all dont agree with him, then your not here often enough!! Like I said, I sit on this site all day everyday for countless hours and see everything that goes on here, This site does trades/staking more then anything else with that being said, like credsfan has said as well "WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO TAKE THAT OUT OF THE MAIN CHAT??
For all you ppl that just wanna come to the FORUM and just talk to ppl and play freerolls give them there own channel, but the MAIN CHAT should be used for WHAT GOES ON THE MOST HERE, thats what I think anyways!!
we already pay a fee everytime we make a trade that deals with points. it would be double dipping on your part to make us pay twice. not cool. as far as spamming main chat with stakes n such, i agree its a little out of hand at times but so is ppl talking about sports or many other topics that happen in chat. its a CHAT box. we should be able to chat about whatever we want within reason in there. just my opinion.
Exactly on the sports aspect that tommy is talking bout ive seen a long drawn out arguments on sports with prawney and several others, that goes on for half hour or so, but do we call that SPAMMING? No its allowed, which is no different then someone wanting to ask for stakes and or trades IMO
How about we keep the stakes out of main chat then? If thats the case then I need to redo the staking section
what ever happened to stakes and all spam about trades being confined to channel 2??? I liked that idea
Not against thatQuote:

Stakes, Loans, Giveaways, this type of chat is in many cases degens trying to part cash from others pockets.
No one discussing Sports is asking anyone else for money, in many cases, members are looking for help from others in learning how to bet or understand it. In most cases, it is members sharing their plays and looking for support from other bettors. Much like people playing MTTs and other poker players rooting and supporting for that player to win.
I personally do not mind if people get stakes and such and I think it is a good thing for the iste to be involved in staking, but this thing where several people just beg endlessly in chat for stakes for hours on end, every single day is BS
I agree, and staking is something I want to do as main activity here when I'm set. Maybe even make a ch 3, then all off site trade and staking could be done there. Everyone should be allowed to mention ONCE an hour that they are available in ch 3, or if programmed for it, allow people to see who is in ch 3 in a side box (who's online type of function). I still feel separation of all non site activity (trades not using points, staking) should be separated and organized so people not interested in this can ignore it totally, and the people focused on this can go to one organized location for it
I really dont think there is a huge issue with the staking n shit anymore.. It may have flared up for a moment ... But i feel its settled....
People are just blowing it out of proportion.. Mostly the haters..
Comparing Sports talk to begging for stakes is just lol. Sports discussions normally involve multiple members who are talking amongst each other. Begging for stakes/loans is 1 person trying to get everyone to give him money.
Yes, BUT again, sports would be the same thing helped by separation, should be sectioned with this as wellQuote:

1) Everyone. Member of at least 30-60 days.
2) Sure. Make amount of points go in line with amount of REGISTERED users on PokerOwned at that given time.
3) ?
4) No.
I hate the idea of having 2 chat boxes side by side. It just sounds cluttered and frustrating. We have channel 2, and all it takes is pressing a button to see whats going on in there, and (gasp) it's just as easy to press another button to see main chat again. Mods are constantly trying to make people take their crap to main chat, and the annoying fuckers just don't listen because they don't get attention when they're put where they belong.
Just from reading this it seems people are getting discussions mixed up with people who just say the same thing over every 5-10 min. The discussions would actually be chat, where as the same thing repeated over again is spam.
