or.......they could just get over themselves and ignore them.
Dora is not unpopular - per se.
She was pre-alerting that her view on disabling whipsers might be unpopular.
Crossed wires - unravelled.. .. ..
That's actually a very good idea Dora.

Like after the Site going to the trouble of adding this feature to dis-able, the responsibility/onus/expectation is on us to activate this function and regulate it. So, basically the general consensus? should or would be that we'd all be expected to have our whispers dis-abled from the start, so, with Site Rules and polite-ness in mind, you should ask to whisper anyway even if it is a "girlie," lol or a friend etc., then they'd enable whispers for as long as necessary, and dis-able them again when finished whispering.
So, if we got this in-use by every-one to the stage as "norm" pretty much as a given, where every-one's whispers are dis-abled until asked, it will become the norm in time. Personally I never dis-able whispers, it just doesn't occur to me to do so. Is there any/many more that just leave as is? But in a 4or5 hour spell online, how many genuines/friends will you be engaging in whispers with 3or4 maybe? So it may not be too much to do lol to dis-able and re-enable when finished each time where it would be a minimal few people you would be whispering with. If there'd be a lot of people you'd be whispering with in a Chat-room well then maybe that's a whole other Thread?
Two good points like Dora said, may be that having to dis-able and re-enable would dis-courage whispering itself and may induce more chat in main. Plus not having to deal with those whisperers you don't want won't take up the Mods' time.
One bad point would be that Twonks/Messers who slip through the net where the dis-able feature will be in use, havin their kicks and chancin their arms whispering horrible abusive stuff won't be dealt with appropriately. But I guess because they will effectively be ignored in a way this is some small way of dealing with them.
I dont mind anyone that i would be in regular contact with whispering to me without asking first. Its the single males i never spoke to or who arent est and who think i want to have chatroom sex. eh no thanks. but anyone who id know from posting or from chatting openly in the chatroom with is fine to whisper me without asking. but the blow ins and those we never spoke to shouldnt whisper without asking first
