That when you go to chat just come in, say "Hi" or "Hello", then immediatly leave. This is really irritating just to see people just pop in and then leave.

...You can't force someone to stay. If they come in, say hi, and no one replies, why should they stay? Come on.

I mean they leave IMMEDIATLY after saying hi, and they say hi immediatly after entering chat. So within two seconds, they enter, say hi, then leave. It gets annoying.

The Internet is very harsh sometimes. Take two of these and call me in the morning.

Or, you know, don't call.

I think that if they do it three times or more have their IPs banned temporaraly.

the people who stay and say stupid crap are much more annoying than those who leave immediately.

I don't know, I think it's a good idea. Why would you keep going in there just to say one word? Isn't that a form of flooding? *doesn't know chat rooms*

The server automatically bans them if they join and part too many times.
No one does that, and for all anyone knows those poor guys could just be having trouble with the awful java chatrooms. Or they're lagging.
"Hi" *nothing shows up on the screen*
"Oh, it's broke." *leave and maybe try again*

I think someone is doing that just to mess with you.

First of all, you used to do the exact same thing. I think it's very rude of you to complain about something that you used to do all the time!

*** Joins: Joel
Joel: !dead
Aexoden: #EoFF has been dead for 3 minutes and 12 seconds.
*** Parts: Joel

The problem is that the chat applet isn't perfect, so it's really not their fault. A lot of people don't understand IRC and never will, and would rather have a chatroom on AIM, a chatroom on Livejournal, or whatever. What do you want to do, anyway? If you had all the powers in the world, what would you do to correct this? They're not coming back because they probably closed the applet, so why would you want to ban them?

Please think about your feedback in the future so that other matters more deserving of attention can be addressed more quickly.

That hasn't happened in oh... *thinks* two years? I see this happen at least once or twice a day.

The point is, you used to do it as well. Do not be a hypocrite.

And come to think of it... you banned me for that I beleive for awhile... if you can ban me for popping in, saying one word, then leaving why not others?

While the feedback is appreciated, I do wish you would take the topics within this forum a little more seriously. Nearly all of the threads you've made in this forum so far have contributed little in terms of feedback, and it isn't good that you've chosen to continue to push this, either.

I have already explained that the java applet is the reason for most people coming in and saying a few words, and then leaving. You, however, did not use the java applet, and the circumstances regarding a ban from a year or more ago were probably a lot different than you remember. If, by some chance, you were banned from the channel for simply saying one word, then an apology is probably needed, but that does not change the present or have anything to do with this topic.

If you really wish to see something done regarding this, explain what you would want done and how it would benefit any part of the community as a whole.

I'm pretty sure you can get banned for <i>that</i>, at least.

Not explicitly! I guess. <_<
The average not-chat-going-toer could still think we're being barraged by thousands of join/parts a minute!

If you have anything to contribute further, please create a new piece of feedback for users to comment on. I think this, in itself, has served too many more purposes than that which it was intended for; my apologies.
