Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Misuse of power...
Somehow nephrurus and E2MacPets gained admin-type powers in the chat room and were abusing them, booting people and freezing them at will. It was highly annoying and altogether unpleasant. Would it be too much to ask that you keep a tighter reign over who winds up with powers in the chatroom and that they be limited to appropriate usage?

Unfortunately, it seems that timing was of the essence here. From what I gather, the entire incident last about 5 minutes, and apologies were issued. I believe Kat was an unwilling participant in something that wasn't intended for her.
However, I take responsibility. I'm sorry if anyone was offended, and I believe the situation is resolved.

I was there
I was there. The two parties mentioned were goofing with each other for what I believe was approximately 3 minutes (No, I did not time it but I doubt it was an entire 5 min) Kat was unintentionally involved. I apologized to her and explained that she was un-intentionally involved in a bit of goofing between friends. I know both parties also apologized but she had them on "Ignore" at that moment so I told her they apologized. Apparently apologies were not acceptable.
If there is anyway to obtain a transcript of the chat perhaps that will clear this all up as what it was. A little bit of goofing that was promptly apologized for, not an intentional malicious act as Kat seems to think.

I feel horrible about what happened and I would like to apologize.
The chatroom was entirely filled with regulars tonight, and Jungle decided to make us all temporary moderators as a joke. In the process of us goofing around Kat came into the room and was accidentally booted, frozen, etc a few times before we caught on to what was happening and calmed down a bit. In fact Kat did not know she was booted until we admitted it and told her who did it.
She responded by putting us on ignore, including Cheryl who tried to explain for us, and then coming here and posting.
As I said, I feel horrible about what happened, and until I saw this post did not know that Kat's feelings were hurt. But at the same time, I do not like seeing my name connected with "abuse of power" for what was simply a few friends goofing around with eachother. I do not like that what happened in a few minutes time among friends is now a permanent outcry because someone would not even listen to an apology let alone accept it.
It was a misunderstanding about something that was supposed to just be all in good fun. I wish there was no blame being placed anywhere and we could all agree to move on?

I am aware that they were goofing off, Cheryl, however I do not appreciate being the target of goofing off, especially by people I don't know. If I believed I was the target of malicious intent, I would have worded my post quite a bit differently. It was an abuse of admin power, pure and simple, which is what my post was in reguards to.

How about if we just reduce the amount of "goofing off" on the chat board altogether? If someone needs to do some minor testing, find a willing participant and go to one of the other rooms where another user won't be a victim of collateral damage.
I would really like this to be the last time I hear about this sort of thing going on in there.
Thanks.

I feel bad for kats "feelings" getting hurt but, seriously how many of the regulars in the chat room actually "know"(kat's definition of "know" is having actually met the person) each other. I have only actually met 1 person on the chat of the 50 or so that i talk to on a regular basis.
We have this same proble over on the BC forum all the time, Its hard to convey a message properly through a forum or a chat room.
This post was made less than 5 minutes after the inccident took place, and i am still of the opinion that E2 and Myself meerly pushed kat over the edge that she was already standing on.
