Banshees Scream 110 Posted July 4, 2005 I thought if possible maybe it would be an interesting addition tothe DL if there could be some kind on Live DL chat. I thoughtit would make it easier to communicate with DL members andit would be easier to discuss ideas for the following yearand discussions on current candidates.Of course the threads would always remain.Before i say anymore I don't want to waste my time..Could this idea be considered?

Tuber Mirum 125 Posted July 4, 2005 You may encounter some opposition to that idea, if only from one of the more junior moderators. Personally, I wouldn't object. Perhaps interested parties could organise a chatroom on AIM or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banshees Scream 110 Posted July 4, 2005 You may encounter some opposition to that idea. I agree but if there could possibly be two separate rooms onefor members and one for guests that would solve all the problems right then and there.And if your worried about spelling just be careful whenyou type so you don't get criticized by grammar queens like honez.Also besides myself "which I'm not the best speller" I'm suremost of the members know how to spell at least the basics and I hopethey know all the vowels.But just having one room "mixing the guests with the members"If that's the case then i could agree with honez. - that would be entertaining but I don't know.

The Four Horsemen 26 Posted July 4, 2005 It could work if you made everyone register first and log in every time, and also gave the mods (for example) the power to eject and ban pointless ranters and remove offensive/inane/banal messages.

Let's have one specifically to have a go at me in real time. I won't see you there. Well honez you really shoulden't take it to heart.I find it hard to understand why others can't take simple criticismmainly because it is true. Why is it so hard to understand? Let's be rational. Seriously. Instead that comment would probably start some sortof argument that throws negative comments towards myself.Alright Alright i called you a "Grammer Queen" at least there is something grand about it.Or is it that royalty in the name of you being a grammerperfectionist an insult?

I find it hard to understand why others can't take simple critizism mainly because it is true. Why is it so hard to understand? If i were to say to an attractive women that her lipstick was way overdone why can't she agree and say maybe i should have put a bit less? instead it will probobly start some sort of arugument that throws negative comments towards myself. Allright Allright i called you a "Grammer Queen" how about "Grammer King" to you is that a bit more grand.. Or is royalty in the name of you being a grammer perfectionist an insult? if you noted the smilie my post should have read like it was being cheeky. So, no offence taken. But you are correct about royalty. Perhaps The Grand President of Grammar would have been more suitable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
