Wouldn't the most simple solution without having to involve admin, or changing any format in chat, simply be to ignore anyone you do not want to engage with?
If the person becomes abusive abort and report..
i believe whispers are an integral part to the site. i believe in being discrete and so i do not want some of my more personal information (obviously not including contact information) broadcast around the main room for all to see as it is my experience that many people will not chat and sit in room taking note of conversations that they are not involved in.
as i am not a single female i obviously do not get as many unwanted whispers so it is hard to comment but usually i just ignore them. however i do see how frustrating it is when random people enter the room and see it as their god given right to whisper you.
if someone chats to me on the main screen i generally dont mind them whispering me. A simple request to whisper should not be too much to ask and i applaud the moderators for their swift reactions to these people as they can often seriously disrupt chat with unwanted and abusive comments.
loaded :rascal:
Lo lo jus cuz u want 2 whisper Bobo ffs
:P
Emmmm on other sites with Chat-rooms, they have I.M. within the Chat-room where you can accept or decline it and that eliminates un-wanted whispering, but then I think of here and would you rather it to be handy to whisper in private straight off which I think it is. So I vote keep it :-)
For un-wanted whispers simply just copy and paste or ignore them they tend to stop after about 8 r 10 whispers lol or just move rooms 4 a bit f u'v had enough.
miss i also love to whisper you my dirty thoughts,,,,, imagine if whispers were taken away and i could no longer tell you them :crazy:
