chat room behavior

[Brian the Automator]

We (the moderators) have been getting a few PM's over the past couple of weeks of people causing trouble in the chat rooms. While we all recognize that the chat room is more of an "anything goes" type atmosphere, I need to stress that all the rules outlined in the FAQ are still enforced in the chat room.

 

Specifically, we've seen some name-calling (of users, not players) and cursing. While I know frustrations are high right now with the team's poor play (understatement), we need to keep the chat room usable and enjoyable for all users.

 

Therefore, if you find that someone is causing a lot of problems in the chat room, please cut & paste the chat log with the offensive portion in a private message to me. If someone violates a rule for the first time, they'll be warned. If it's a second offense, they'll be dismissed. I know people claim that things "slip out", but just think twice before you hit the enter button.

 

Thanks in advance...

For example, this comment would result in you getting banned:

 

BrewerFan1993:: i know mlbtv is a bunch of jews...

[dadofandrew]

My goodness.

[brewerjamie15]

Quite honestly I'm disappointed by that comment. I really think that was way, way out of line. Obviously that person is banned, and you all know that comments like that will never be and have never been tolerated.

The chat room is a nice place for game talk, or just shooting the breeze about things in general. Chat rooms can be problems no matter what site you're on and although it's rare, there seems to be a bit of a problem in our chat room lately. The individual responsible for the recent childish comments was just a troll, and nothing more. I realize 99.99% of us would not cause problems like that and I'm sorry for those of you who happened to be in the chat room when it happened.

I'd like to ask the same thing Brian asked about troublemakers in the chat room. If you witness someone geting out of hand please copy the chat and email it to Brian and title it chat room problems or something to catch his attention.

I'd also like to ask that if you are in the chat room and if you see that I am online when there are problems you inbox me and I'll respond as soon as I see it.

 

Thank You Everyone. I appreciate your help.

I was in the chat when he typed that...I'd just like to say nice work on the speed in which he was dismissed, he was gone in a matter of minutes.

[hawing]

Yes, kudos on the speedy dispatch of that aggravating poster.

 

I saw that comment and tried to cut and paste it but couldn't. Am I missing something other than the right click/Copy or Cut?

[brewers19]

The normal view for the chat is in some sort of graphic mode, which means it is basically nothing more than a picture. You gotta change it to text mode (by clicking the button at the top) in order to highlight/copy any text.

[hawing]

I figured there was probably something fairly easy I was missing.

 

Thanks.

NDOG44:: He's not back yet Russ

AmbaG:: j/k

rluzinski:: now you are struggling to find a scenario where youa re

still right?

AmbaG:: Righties!

rluzinski:: can't you just enjoy he's back and not worry abotu being

right or wrong?

NDOG44:: And I specifically said that if he comes back for two starts

and goes back on the DL, that would be not coming back this year

AmbaG:: SKI just waits to pounce

AmbaG:: LMAOOO

rluzinski:: ambag, no one is even talking to you

brewers19:: Let the vendetta go, Amba.

NDOG44:: I hope I'm wong Russ

AmbaG:: stfu ski

jason21nl:: yeah, 16 at most

AmbaG:: put me on iggy

rluzinski:: wow

hawing:: I think we're all tempted.

brewers19:: Maybe I'll just send Brian a message.

AmbaG:: Really you, are known to speak negative

brewers19:: It's more productive.

NDOG44:: If he's a late scratch tomorrow, Russ what will you say?

AmbaG:: than you jump on someone

AmbaG:: typicall ski, sit and wait for something to jump on

[burniebrewer]

You're gone.

He gone!

 

Sorry, sometimes I can't help myself.

 

I know, bad behavior is nothing to joke about, but whenever I hear the word 'gone', I think of Hawk. Also, I know everyone hates him, but it's just one of those things.

[And That]

I think the "stfu ski" may have been a veiled reference to a wrestling move, but I could be wrong.

[brewers19]

Even if it was a wrestling reference, there was truckloads of worse stuff that he/she said later on.

[Southwest Brewer]

what move is that?

[mothershipconnection]

I had too look that one up, good ol' wikipedia.

It looks like the wrestling move is supposed to be an acronym for the same words, anyway.

[And That]

what move is that?

 

The STF is short for a Step-over Toe-hold Facelock, a submission move recently made re-famous by John Cena in the form of the STFU, a play on his finisher, the FU (a fireman's carry powerslam).

[Southwest Brewer]

I tried to say goodbye, but he may be gone for good...

 

Southwest Brewer:: just had to make one last chek if ambag was still breathing

Southwest Brewer:: You going to stay in here for eternity? I guess you probably could do it

Southwest Brewer:: Gotta get a good lab top and never lose your wireless signal.

Southwest Brewer:: hang in there....it's like the guys caught in an avalanche that can radio to there friends, but only for as long as the battery lasts.

[pogokat]

ambag is still in there even now...might be time to pull the plug on the old chatroom

[PeaveyFury]

I'm guessing she/he was still listed because of being disconnected. Usually when the chat gets big, someone gets disconnected at some point, but their user name stays. When they log back in, it looks like there's two of them in there.

 

Not sure what eventually causes the 'ghost' username to finally leave the room, though.

[brewers19]

So, the chat room appears to be MIA now. Is this a permanent action because it had become a breeding ground for trolls, or was it just a temporary action in order to finally get Amba to leave?

[Southwest Brewer]

I believe badgerchat.com is an option if bf.net is out of the gametime conversation business.

[jloos19]

The chat room came back, and Ambag is still there!

[BCZF]

Yep.. I see he/she/it is still there..

[molitor fan]

and ambag is chatting.........with JoeH.....and now 6 others

 

Edit: he/she /it claims it is never going to leave the chat......a true doppelganger

[brewers19]

Oh darn, the chat doesn't work on my computer here at work. I suppose I should consider myself lucky.

 

She/he/it is really starting to creep me out though. It's like the chat room is haunted now.

What does that bother you or something? I went in there to see what was up, and we started talking baseball. Who cares.
