I was in the Bi-room last night, got an unsolicited whisper, when I whispered back with the news Site AUP rules :** WHISPERING ** - if you want to whisper you must ask first in open chat, if you whisper without asking you will be considered a pest. I was then called a "WUSS" in open chat..... I let it go. Do people ever read the rules?

Unfortunately no, hence we're kept on our toes in chat most nights.
Sorry, it was late, Mod's where busy.

we feel the same happy,,, mr and mrs shy dont be online much all that much now and it is because some people have lost their manners. manners cost nothing and go a long way. xx shys
The couple of times ive been in chat its mental busy , so id yous are on your toes alright....Ye its the messers that tend to ruin it for people
Think that happens to all of us at some time, we just ignore it or write the whisperers name in chat asking them to ask before whispering, most will have manners and say sorry, but in another whisper. You got to wonder what level of education some of these donkeys have.
I got one a few days from a guy claiming he was 12 inches, to be honest I crossed my legs and prayed:smoke:
Virgo I think he whispered me too......... what he said next brought tears to my eyes :crazy:
perhaps he was confusing inches & centimeters .... & if 12" how big are his feet!!!! .... sounds like he would give Sideshow Bob a run for his money in the foot department...........
perhaps you could have an online raffle for the dress...although I suspect Dora may buy all the tickets...:evil2::giggle:
plus I feel left-out, I rarely get un-solicited whispers & none from the ladies....:upset::violin:
12 inches! that's just a waist of blood, you'd take someone's eye out with that thing. Imagine trying to walk down the the isle of a bus, how crouched over would you have to be to cover that up
well alan next time on and in chat room i will whisper you lol
I made an unsolicited whisper today and I feel very naughty.......xxxxxx
I personally have kept rather silent on this whole whisper thing, but I feel I can't remain silent any longer as I got kicked last week for sending a whisper to the wrong person, even though I apologised.
Whispers if used correctly can be very good, and I also realise that they can be abused too.
However, it is becoming very annoying in chat when you see people complaining about people whispering, when there is a tool to turn them off. If people are annoyed by whispers, turn them off and move on.
Recently there was a couple on cam and every now and then they would ask the room "do ye like this, or do ye like that". What happened? You guessed, people whispered, and then these for been copied and pasted getting people kicked. If a whisper is abusive, certainly then action needs to be taken, but there are times when we can take this too far.
Finally, I do take great issue with the wording of the new warning about whispers. No one should ever be refered to as a Pest. Last time I checked, people do pay money to join this site, and therefore, should all be treated with the same respect that we all want. We are supposed to be all adults, and not school children, and from one who was bullied in school and called a Pest by some, I find the use of this term offensive.
To close here, I am NOT condoning bad behaviour, yet I am asking that people consider turning off whispers if they are going to annoy them.
Evening all,
As I started this thread, I felt I had to reply:
** WHISPERING ** - if you want to whisper you must ask first in open chat, if you whisper without asking you will be considered a pest.
I admire both the Mod's and ADMIN Team for addressing the entire Whispering issue, I am sure you are all constantly chasing and kicking people for unsolicited whispers.
I think if more emphasis was placed, as Dar4 said on the "Disable/Enable Whisper Function" that is not heavily promoted on here, that may in-turn lead to a reduction.
Like many as Bailey's said we have all done them, most not intentional, in my view the repeat offenders should be banned, the length of that ban be determined by the MOD/ADMIN Team.
My own thoughts and the wording would be:
Unsolicited whispers are not only frowned upon but are a breach of the sites AUP rules to which you agreed to. Repeat offenders will face a ban, the length of that ban is at the discretion of the MOD/ADMIN Team and is not questionable.
Happy x
there is lots of people going on a but whispering and we r doing a few things about it but its also down to the members to Reportthe whispers to a mod or send in a Abuse Reportthe thing we have to look out for is people making up whispers to get some one banned from the site but that is were the chat logs come in ... So we need every 1 to do there bit its not just down to the mods ....
I would like to say, I do understand that people will make mistakes when using the whisper function – but in honesty from my personal experience – I have been inundated with whispers – and the majority of them were not by accident – but deliberate – and most definitely when all put together – I do consider them to be irritating pests – I do my best to ignore them – but after a while – well quite frankly they get on my tits – and not in a good way. Yes there is the option to disable the whispers – but why should I be forced to use this option because other people refuse to abide by simple manners and rules by asking to whisper first.
Are YOU a forum moderator?? Who do YOU think you are taking that stand with me, I have placed my comment here like everyone else, and as a member I am entitled to do so. I don’t care of your opinion of me, it holds no interest to me whatsoever. This thread was started by you in the negative, there have been both positive and negative posts from other members, yet YOU choose to pick out my comment, you should look to your own negativity before you try to check mind, and as for taking a chill pill, all I can say to that comment is, grow up and act your age!
