    Default Can individual users turn off chat? (Yes they can using http://domebo.net/forum/IndexNoChat.php)

    Is there anyway I can set my user cp so that I don't see chat?

    I understand that the image rules are relaxed there "after hours" but your after hours is my 10am and I'd rather not see porn or shock images when I look at the board index from work.

    I don't want to ruin anyone's fun. So if there's a way to change my settings so that it's blocked for me and everyone else can still see it, that'd be great.

    Thanks!

    Hi, antigonos. I don't think there is a way to turn of chat, but if you go to your User Control Panel and find the section for board display preferences, you should be able to turn off images.

    Its too bad there's not a way to get people to have some consideration and not post pornography in the first place.

    Where is this chat thing? I don't see any images on the main page or on the forums. I see images in individual threads, but there's nothing that says "chat."

    R&NG - Go to the Board Index page and scroll all the way down.

    All I see are the boxes for "Who is Online" and "Statistics." No chat. (If there was a confused smilie, I'd be using it here.)

    WHOA! I tried changing the board skin and suddenly the chat showed up! I never knew that was there before! Was it known that if you use Black Pearl there is no chat? Really, see for yourself.

    Seconded! Too bad there's no way to block images for not-logged-in users.

    It really is a life saver. I have to admit that the possiblity of being blindsided with porn has really put me off using this board so far. I have no problem with it in NSFW threads (and even posted some in a NSFW thread) but it was getting far too risky to try and check the board at work (which is when I would have time to post).

    This is now changed. Guests cannot see images, they just see the word "img" with a link to the file.

    Rude and Not Ginger, please do not use Black Pearl: it isn't supported anymore. There's an alternative dark style called proDark which has all the features as the rest of the board.

    Rules are not relaxed 'after hours.' Images in chat must be SFW all the time.
    I'm not good at the advice. Can I offer you a sarcastic comment instead?

    Really? Then all the moderators need to be clear on that because in another thread about the porn being posted today/last night (depending on your timezone), pepperlandgirl said this: viewtopic.php?p=80185#p80185 (Sorry I don't know how to quote from another thread.)

    I assumed since she's a mod and was posting porn that she would know.

    From here:
    Chat:
    The bar on language is relaxed in Chat, just keep it semi-relevant. If you have a personal issues with another poster, take it to the Thunderdome. No stalking allowed of course.
    If you have a problem with a post and don't know what to do, please PM the Global Moderators group.
    Moderators will delete posts as needed and have access to a chat log to review problem reported that are now off the scroll.
    Safe for work Images are allowed in chat. Moderators will delete any they deem questionable without consultation.


    This has been an on-going issue, with some posters claiming that they thought chat was anything goes 'after hours' and have had to be reminded that there are no 'after hours' here.
    I'm not good at the advice. Can I offer you a sarcastic comment instead?

    I think it would be good if images could be disabled for chat separately from elsewhere, and if that were the case by default. An opt-in system, as it were. I don't know how hard that would be to do, though.

    What Exit? stepped in to clarify a few posts down, and his post was in accord with the Forum Rules:
    Quote Originally posted by What Exit?
    [modhat:9pp0wejl]Mister Peanut, you have a valid point about the NSFW pics in chat but chat is temporary. You absolutely should not post NSFW pics in the ADF forum. Please do not do it again.[/modhat:9pp0wejl]

    I actually agree that Pepperlandgirl as a mod should not have been posting the NSFW pics in chat. It is one thing to delete the pics and ask the members to refrain and it is another to contribute.

    [modhat:9pp0wejl]All mods should not post NSFW pics in chat and should be deleting them as they see them. It is your call if you want to take further action.

    While we are going through this small transition, please to not abuse the image posting. If you post NSFW in a thread, ensure the thread is labeled as much. We will have an answer by the end of the week where you may post said threads. For now please stick to JJ and T'Dome and WHWN once it is renamed and redescribed.[/modhat:9pp0wejl]

    Please note, no warnings here, just requests for all. AS we are in transition it does not seem right to me to hand out warnings. This may get changed pending any Hive discussion.
    Look, pepperlandgirl messed up, based on what she remembered from a thread where people mostly didn't want rules in chat at all. It's not the end of the world. But yeah, you're not alone in wanting a porn-free chat.
    Whatever became of the moment when one first knew about death? There must have been one. A moment. In childhood. When it first occurred to you that you don't go on forever. Must have been shattering. Stamped into one's memory. And yet, I can't remember it.

    I'd be happier with a chat-free board, but I can settle for porn-free chat.

    I am still fixing it, but Chat is blocked already in this link. I will clean it up more.

    Actually, now you can. Per the "The Rules" topic, there is a link now to a index page that has no chat. You can bookmark this link to get to it easily if you like. Or...what Butterscotch said!
