Shoutbox moderation is a bit of an issue also.

Err... the chatbox was hardly moderated...

MOTM = Get VIP

Moderation of it is an issue that can be solved.

Staff will be using the chatbox anyway, so they would easily be able to moderate it. IMO.

Report button on chatbox, use at your own risk disclaimer, moderation isn't really a big problem imo.

Yeah, chatbox is the way forward!!

Shoutbox moderation is a bit of an issue also.

Profile infractions if staff see them. The chat was never moderated and that was there for an eternity.

Tbh the shoutbox would be an awesome idea and an easy one, I agree on basing it on ranks and everything, though some new members may feel alienated by this. Uhhmmm, well I think the issue of moderation is silly. You can only moderate so much, not everything can be locked down like fort knox.

I mean it'd be more mature members talking on the shoutbox, since they'd have been on hxf a bit longer... well, im thinking that way anyway. I think it'd be an awesome idea ;P

Mature members? Oh dear...

In other threads, everyone has been talking about making new members more involved. Surely cutting them off from a shoutbox too is another way of preventing that?!! A chatbox can be a good way for members to mingle with others! Shoutbox is no fun really if you only have 'mature' people (I use the term loosely! :p).

The issue with opening it up for all members would be that it would be overused and just be annoying and pointless, in my opinion. For example we currently have 82 members online and a conversation involving 82 people all talking at once would be a bit of a nightmare. The other issue is that newer members will be distracted by the forum itself and only use the shoutbox - which we do not want.
