This is why we can't have nice things (Webchat)

edited June 2015 in News & Announcements
IRC Webchat has been disabled, indefinately. Reason for this is due to morons who join the channels, flood the channel, then immediately close their browser tab, leaving the IRC channel. We had that flashing notification for a reason, and people still didn't listen.

Various examples:

In addition to this, there's been lots of stupidity and harassment to people in the channel.

This is why we can't have nice things. People like to abuse them.

Mibbit has also been permabanned too from the channel due to someone joining and asking the same question 500000000 times in a manner of a hour, in addition to similiar webchat spam.

    Wow. I never knew how many stupid people use this site or the IRC chat. I don't mean to ask a stupid question but when a user on the IRC chat with a large fish pot. What does that mean?

    The fishbot thing goes back from the old days when the majority of IRC users were using mIRC and the slap was a way to get people's attention if they had the app minimized, etc. On mIRC, it would say "/me slapped %n around with a large trout", filling in the blanks for who they're slapping and who did it. Webchat used fishbot. Reguardless, it's an annoying feature that dings us when we're busy, and when people flooded the channel, imagine your speakers dinging every 2 seconds from that.
  • birdybirdy
    That makes sense. That would be annoying though for my speaker system to make a ding every 2 seconds. How long has this been happening on the IRC chat?

    Since webchat was introduced back in 2011, so roughly 3 years now.

    Wow. Has been off and on or has it been just constant people asking and doing stupid things?

    It's been a daily basis. Not all the time, but at least one moron a day.
  • birdybirdy
    Well I'm sorry to hear that. I have never been on the IRC chat so please excuse my questions...

    Seems like nobody wants us to have good things.
    Like the chat and almost the forums. I hope that people can let us have nice things

    I don't think you're one to really speak on that regard.

    I've revised the IRC page as well.

    Why not mute your speakers? I almost always have mine off.

    Because some of us do stuff that requires our speakers to be on. That was probably a really silly question to ask, and besides making noise, it's also spam.

    I know I like to listen to music perpetually on my computer. So, muting the speakers would be very inconvenient and dumb for someone like me.

    I just have nick alerts disabled entirely; to the annoyance of some people I know.

    Yea, ofc., plus - the whole speaker issue-thing - why wouldn't anyone use a per-application volume program (if not on Windblow$ 7+), if needed?!

    A couple of paid-links in that list, if you're stuck on <Windows 7; but, there are others /just to get the idea!..:)

    Edit: Ugh, btw., different iRC programs, other than mIRC, have options w/which you can control stuff.. Whether it's ignoring notice, or not notifying on highlighted message; such as HexChat (old XChat2):
