Petition: JapanForum ShoutBox

[Uriko]

i like the idea.

they had it on another forum i used to go on & it helped keep the spammers busy while the rest can discuss away without interruption. ^_^;

yes, its a good idea, but i don't want it to be filled with chat about the twilight hype.

I don't see why a shoutbox shouldn't be implemented, especially if it has spam protection

Says the one who started a Book Critique thread with said novel.

I see what you did there.

It's a good idea, but every idea has flaws.

I would have to say it would be a good idea to get rid of spam, unrelated threads to Japan, and it would be convenient to just have a chat box right there instead of going from thread to thread and posting.

But the problem with this is that then there would be more work to do for the moderators on this site. They would have to make sure that people are behaving themselves and what not.

So even though it is a good idea, I'm saying no to this because it would just cause more problems to deal with for the moderators.

I would not mind having a shoutbox.That way people that are bored can spam.

I think it would be really great to have a shoutbox. That way, people on the site can chat with each other when they don't want to be bothered.

I am always surprised when people here "don't want to be bothered" to do something. JF is a place to talk about things in your freetime. The last thing we need is more lazy people. I'd rather have people that are prepared to be bothered to do what it takes to be a positive member.

You got a point, MMM. Thanks for enlightening me on this subject.

I am not trying to pick on you, YukisUke. i just see that sort of statement often here. "I am too lazy to use good grammar or spelling". Well if you are so lazy, don't post. Go to bed. No one wants to read the posts of a lazy person.
