i know Doc has said to report misuse of chat rooms, and if enough people do so, the abusers will be warned and/or suspended... but how does one report ?? i have tried Copy Messages... what do i do with them?

this process is so burdensome, when i am upset i often forget to even copy messages... the other day i was told to mind my own business when i protested the Emotional Support room being used for purely social conversations. and again today, i was asked, what business is it of mine, what goes on in any room?

this is the type of bullying that is rampant in the chats,, if someone objects they are subjected to harrassment, i have seen it repeatedly, when another member takes refuge in my private room.

and, while i'm here... all too often one cannot build a private room... lately they often ask for a password, or make up one that no one knows, and cannot enter.

i MISS MY CHATS~!

To report any chat room issues, a copy of the chat transcript or at the very least, a date/time of the issue and what chat room it took place in should be forwarded to a Community Support Team member.

We will then look into the issue and if we find that action needs to be taken, then we will take it. It will be done privately as all our communication with members is done.

As for the other issues with creating rooms and passwords, that would be for DocJohn to answer. He's the go-to guy for that kind of issue.

There is no clear line between people in the emotional support getting emotional support, and sometimes the conversation turning a bit more social. That's perfectly alright, as long as people respect other people's needs if they come in and want to turn the conversation more to their emotional support needs.

We can't do anything without chat times/dates or a chat transcript. We're sorry, but that's just the way it is.

Private rooms shouldn't contain any strange characters or spaces, just normal letters and use a dash instead of a space... see if that helps in creating a new one.

I feel bullied as well. I asked why they don't take "mature talk" into the adult room (instead of coffeehouse) and I was given the feeling it's me who is weird and should go away so I did.

I don't feel I want to report because if they show fake good behavior I will once again believe they are respectful, responsible people. I'd rather know who is someone I should put on ignore. Also the last person I reported went telling all their friends so they would think I was a bad person.

I don't intend to get more bullied than I already am.

If you don't report problematic behavior in the chat rooms, there's nothing we can do about it.

The chat rooms are not for everyone, and if you feel like it is more of a negative than a positive experience for you, then you may decide they are not for you.

if you feel that you want the Chat Rooms to be more of a negative experience than a positive one, please continue to do nothing to support us~! you did not explain to me how i get the copy of the CHAT to a moderator or admin. when i send a PM to a mod, it is Time Stamped, isn't it ? i say in which room the behavior was occurring.

is there any scenario in which being told to mind my own business when i ask for emotional support in the Emotional Support Chat room, is NOT inappropriate???

Please tell me HOW do i send you a copy of the NOTES from a chat room, when i am able to get them.

Gus1234U, for most people who use the chat rooms, it is a positive experience today. Otherwise nobody would use them. Since we moved to the new chat rooms, nearly 3x the number of people are using them!

Since you seem to be having technical difficulties understanding how to copy and paste a chat transcript, why don't you drop me a PM and I'll try and help you with this issue privately, because it doesn't seem to be helpful to keep going over the same ground again in this thread...

Thanks,
DocJohn
