People expect too much out of the chatrooms I feel.

Not everyone here is a counselor or is it there job to assist, if someone chooses to listen and talk, cool. If someone doesn't then perhaps try again later. I'm sure most people come to talk about themselves and I guess that is also the case when one person talking about themselves then another person is going to feel ignored. Honestly lately people are whining just to whine and it's getting obnoxious, the room has been pretty swell with telling people to move to other rooms as of late so I'm not sure what you expect if not every person on earth to have the PC handbook ingrained into their skull and habits.

It just seems like people's problems with chat are more connected to problems with people in general and you can't expect complete control over people which is what it sounds like when people talk about how everyone didn't drop everything to support someone.

What do you expect the admins to do? Install bots with random mental illnesses in the chat that you could console with as much as you'd like?

I hope people can tell I'm a little pissed off at people here because it's never "perfect." Always another thing that's wrong. Just stop.

All the resources required are there. PMs especially which is how it probably should be handled if you want to support someone. Or the ignore feature. It's all there already.

All you do at this point with this much whining about how it's never perfect is make people like the poster above paranoid.

Another thing like Bachir mentioned being a problem are people that come in without seeing any context and telling people to move to another room. It's like going onto an airplane and yelling bomb without actually seeing a bomb. Incredibly rude and more along the lines of being controlling.

From what I can tell everyone whining really just wants more control over others. That the world revolves around them and their need to either have all the attention or the need to fulfill the desire to control others.
