I don't think I've ever seen a suggestion for a shoutbox.

In theory.

But Leeza brings up the point of having to moderate it. I don't know about you guys but I would NOT want to have to sift through hundreds of posts every half an hour to make sure everybody was playing nice.

[Leeza]

I'm hardly a spammer, but even my count is up to 952.

I definitly agree with Void. Moderating this thing would be a nightmare.

[Shlup]

Aaron is stupid.

[The Man]

If it really becomes a problem to moderate it, you could always do what I do when problems like this crop up and add new staff members. xD

My usernote count is only at like 56

[Shlup]

Moderating it isn't the problem. The problem is that it's stupid.

[Del Murder]

Boy, I wonder why The Man only comes around here once every four months.

[The Man]

I blame Shlup.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

I actually happened to be on Fool's Gold today and saw the thing. I found it to be very suitable for that environment, which is to say it would be completely inappropriate for any venue even approaching common decency.

I like this idea. You really wouldn't have to moderate it. On FG after so many replies they get chopped off and are not viewable...at least from what I remember of the old shout box. I like the crazyness of it.

[Shlup]

Just further proof that it's stupid.

There's a shoutbox archive, but really, no one ever looks in it. You could probably disable it pretty easily, too.

[eestlinc]

yea, if you want a bad "shout" to disappear you just submit a bunch more so it scrolls off into oblivion.

[edczxcvbnm]

Plus you could always apply the swear filter to it also...which it is probably done by default anyways.

[The Man]

The swear filter is on a global replacement, at least for smurf and . So the shoutbox would automatically filter itself.
