Private Messaging

**Sprite-** · 05-15-2008, 10:04 AM

In profile chat. Sometimes I'd like to talk to a user privately about issues that shouldn't be public. Any way you guys can do this? Thanks.

Isn't there a "private" chat room for your profile?

**Sprite-** · 05-15-2008, 10:11 AM

That room doesn't work right, and and even if it did, I don't want to have to make us both change rooms.

bluguerrilla · 05-15-2008, 10:13 AM

Oh, so you mean like a pop-out private room or something?

**Sprite-** · 05-15-2008, 10:14 AM

I mean like the way it is in multiplayer and video chat.

Tabbed browsing sort of makes it unnecessary, but it would still be nice.

**foilman8805** · 05-15-2008, 10:34 AM

Would this just be a staff privilege? Because if so, it doesn't really matter to the rest of us.

EDIT: Eh, I rescind that statement. You wouldn't bring it up publically if you didn't want it for the public.

I mentioned something like this a while back but I guess it didn't go anywhere.
But I like the idea. Mods would have more control over Profile Chat.

Of course that is assuming it will be a Staff Member Only thing, but either way it's still a good idea.

bluguerrilla · 05-15-2008, 11:06 AM

More like less control, IMO.

Either way, +1 support.

**Tasselfoot** · 05-15-2008, 12:11 PM

don't expect this any time soon.

**Sprite-** · 05-15-2008, 09:31 PM

Could you maybe give an opinion of why you don't think it is a good idea? The other chats have it, why not this?

**All_That_Chaz** · 05-15-2008, 09:38 PM

i think it was more "this will be difficult to achieve" than "this is dumb."

darkness3608 · 05-15-2008, 09:58 PM

I like this idea. It would give more privacy. also would be better than PMing a person a thousand times.

**Mans0n** · 05-16-2008, 09:28 AM

Im guessing, it's just that its not even a problem just a suggestion so i doubt admins will start coding it anytime soon. But yeah i think it wud be cool. Since MP and other chats have it. But then again they COULD have coded pro chat with it to begin with. But they didint XD

[TeRa] · 05-16-2008, 09:48 AM

I always wondered why it didn't have PM's to begin with, I'm still not able to get in pro chat, and even if an admin helps me out again, I'm just assuming it'll do this again within like a week or 2, so profile chat is pointless for me even though I like it.

**rushyrulz** · 05-17-2008, 01:22 PM

Because anything a mod would have to say to a specific user privately could just as well be said in public to get the message out on a larger scale.

Give an example as to something you would have to say privately, Sprite.

**Sprite-** · 05-17-2008, 02:40 PM

This wasn't meant as a way for just mods to talk privately to regular users. Sorry if it came out that way. This idea is soley to give a PM option to the profile chat, the same way you can PM in vidchat and multiplayer chat.
