New Chatterbox Ban System

The chatroom is a common source of frustration on Storywrite, and we've launched a new system where you get to be the chat helper. Anyone can make anonymous complaints, and users who get multiple complaints will be given a short chat ban.

The chat complaint link is on the larger Chatterbox. Just click on the 'Chatterbox' located above the small CB, and you're there!

For chat complaints, please click "Rules / Complaints" just below the Chatterbox. "If someone is breaking the rules, please use the complaint form." (which would be http://storywrite.com/chat/complaint )

Moderators will be watching the log of complaints, and will fine/ban/yell at people who are making inaccurate complaints.

We'll be experimenting with how many complaints to require before a ban and other tweaks to make it most effective.

    This is perfect. I've been waiting for somthing along these lines for...well a month or two. It somtimes gets really annoying, some of the things people do.

    Also, either there's a bug with the CB, or my comuter's just messed up, BUT, It hasn't been working for 3 days. Possible error?

    Great stuff; it's simple and easy to use. With a Mod monitoring system in the background it should put the onus back on the people that abuse CB. Peer pressure and all that!

    Goodness me, I might actually use it one day!

    And pay attention to the part where Mods get to yell if people abuse it.

        The complaints copy so much of the chat transcript so it can be reviewed.

        All complaints/bans are checked by moderators, and any that are not just would be cancelled, and the person(s) that submitted the fake ticket would be fined.
