Exclamation CHAT CHANGES- VIP ACCESS

very soon
only staff & VIP members here will have access to chat.
i regret the necessity
but i feel a message must be clearly sent
that i will not permit the chat to
be a place of negativity.
i will re-open chat
on a probationary basis
with new criteria to gain access.

I pop in and out of chat every once in a while, but have never seen anything that I thought was negative. Can anyone fill me in on what happened?

I always got help in chat
Sometimes I dont get as much help in post.

I hope things get resolved. I would donate. But, its not a donation if you gain something in return.. thats like giving to charity and getting a tax break. Thats just how I feel about it.

I dont want to pay for chat because there are so many irc channels out there. I just liked this one. Oh well, all good things end

all free rides eventually end.
if it ain't worth it to you
that's cool too.
it's just my way
of weeding my garden here.
only people who appreciate the value
will be in chat here,
making it a more positive part of the site.

i wouldn't say it isn't worth it, but there are so many irc chats around that will stay free as long as you pay your isp for internet.
I understand, though.

This site really is worth anyone's donation, though. Lots of good information and good people.

Well said, if you enjoy something as much as I enjoy Mycotopia then it is worth it to donate. Charity or whatever you want to call it, it helps keep the lights on so to speak.

Hip, I haven't used chat yet, but might be interested in the future. Am I at VIP status?

Thanks

Chat is officially down now.

11:53 EST

I am donating(with a gift card), and I always was planning on it... i just recently got a job so now i'll soon be able to.

Im not sure why this decision was made, and I'm neutral. Negativity should be restricted and enforced to the fullest. We have too much of this in the 'real world' as it is.

If you criticize someone, it better be constructively... maybe question would be better then criticize.

I definitely dont mind helping the cause... Not to mention chat has got to use up quite a bit of bandwidth.

Thank you fellow topians.
Thank you hippie3.

Figures it happens on my b-day ... Oh well.. maybe I will donate. I love chillin' in chat (I have a lot of chatting experience points. 9 years on IRC will do that). Is there a reason for the change? Did I miss something? the only negativity I saw was the joshing around of moderators. Oh well...My only regret is that chat will be lonely for some time.

Will recommendation from a mod be substantial criteria to re-enter chat when it opens back up?

Aww that sucks badgers nadgers and I am far too poor to give money now.

I don't want to bite the hand that feeds but I think this is a bad Idea. I fully understand if its for a financial reason but other wise maybe a few more vips members made into chat mods to better police the chat. I have never found it to be a negative place apart from the odd nutter about once every few weeks. On the whole I have found it a very positive place. It provides me with quick answers to my questions and in turn allows me to help other people with all those small questions like; "how many cc per hole?" "what is field capacity?". I think without chat newbs who cant yet use the site properly and look the answers to these questions up for them selves will lose out.

I agree, and I will miss you in chat. The way I see it though is that this 'removal of user-level chat privileges' makes me realize how much I use and appreciate chat. If I want it back now, I'll donate for it.

the problem is two-fold-
much of the negativity is whispered in chat so no witness, no record.
we have a small but determined group of 'trolls' here who refuse to abide by board policy, talking shit on me, topia, the mods, spewing racist, homophobic garbage etc.
then if we ban them they're back in a day under a new name causing mischief again.
the majority of all bullshit drama here stems out of the chatroom.
i intend to put a stop to this abuse of privilege .
i figure no one will throw away $25 repeatedly just to stir shit for a few minutes .
these clowns with 2 dozen nyms will all be locked out
and only those who care enough to actually support the site
will now have the privilege of using our chat.
i may, on rare occasion, award honorary VIP status to certain members who show their worth in a non-financial manner.

op nomination

i dont think i have ever gone into the chat without seeing mrpanda there
here is my nomination for him to be an operator - not that anyone cares - heh - i like that chat, too damn bad i dont have a credit card, how about donations of spore prints to the spore print drive, like 10 prints = vip status or summing.
and another name for vip could be "captains of the mycoverse"

a credit card is not the only way,
there is the mail too.
and, like i said-
Quote:
i may, on rare occasion, award honorary VIP status to certain members who show their worth in a non-financial manner.
that could include prints IF i feel there's a good reason to make such an exception to the general rule.
it's not so much money
but a commitment that i'm after-
i want members who are here for positive reasons,
and to screen out the infiltrators who abuse our hospitality
to attack us from within.

yeah okay

okay kewl - seems like the only way around this with ppl changing their handle all the time etc...
i live in za so a $25 donation is more like a $150-$175 donation after change in currency so it is a lot for foreigners with shitty currency.
here are some beautifull pictures to put u in a good mood - i took them near the mozambique border of south africa

i'm in a good mood,
i'm not doing this in a huff of anger-
we've been wrestling with the chat issue months now.
it's just come to a head, and time to act decisively.

now
as for you,
phlux.
you seem legit, after a quick glance thru your profile.
i will accept a donation of prints from you,
PM me for details.

I don't want to stop the money train on you hip, but I wounder maybe in the future allowing chat after so many posts or something like that to establish a rep which I don't think people who start shit are going to trouble themselves with.
Second I do like the chat. I got my first advice in chat and if I hadn't spent my last dollars on food and pot, the two necessity in life, I'd donate.

lol
money train my ass,
more like chump change.

besides
there's no time cut-off,
next week, next month, all good.

as for post counts-
doesn't work.
we tried that in our Marketplace forum ,
trying to cut down on hit-and-run scammers.
what we got was
a lot more content-free posts,
like 'welcome' for newbs
or 'i like' on grow threads,
etc.
too easy to churn out a bunch of trivial posts
and little to lose if they get booted.

requiring some kind of more substantial donation
helps us see who is serious and who's playing games.

so far this morning i've added 3 new VIPs
and made arrangements for another once he comes thru.
there are plenty here who see the value and want to help.
i'm open to a variety of ways to VIP status,
giving away some in contests or for outstanding posts,
print donations- many ways to demonstrate sincerity.

and the trolls who just want to bitch and tear us down
can suck it then hit the highway.

the only problem that comes to mind for me with a post limit is that we would have tons of people posting random shit to every thread they come across to get there count up fast.

yeah I can see it now, a bunch of bs posts mucking up the board. That would suck.
So, do I hear a VIP member status as a prize for the up coming bnl? It sounds like a great consolation prize for those who don't get prints and syringes or whatever.

You have to look at the bigger picture.
Now LESS mods should be needed in chat.

Sounds like a logical solution to me.
As for the 25 bucks, I felt I had more than got my moneys worth before I donated. The ability to access great information and minds here at Topia is priceless.

It was not meant to imply that mods were doing a poor job. It was more like, more police on the streets make people behave better style of comment. Sorry if you thought I was slagging off your work as a mod.
I agree less mods will now be needed in chat but that is mainly because there will be less people in chat.
Over all what has to be done to safe guard people against the trolls has to be done, shame it has to be done at the expense of the newbs losing out on a helpful service.

It's ridiculous that mods even need be present in chat to babysit. People just need to grow the f up.

I think members thats been here 5+ years,members with a certain number of posts and certainly members thats been here 5+ years that give advise,posts pictures of there trials,errors and success should not have to pay 25 bucks to go to the chat here at topia.It should be known that these folks are not here to start mischief,flame,bash,criticize other members.Alot of the older members here at topia has been here since the old boards and this is the appreciation we get?We The older members have to pay now?I have have been a member of mycotopia for 7 years an now I have to pay?

I understand that the trouble makers keep making numerous new nymps,get into chat an cause trouble.YES this issue should be addressed BUT loyal members to mycotopia for such a long time are getting the shaft for a monetary value?
