As an admin on an Xbox club with nearly 28k members, one of the nice things about clubs is the chat feature. Sometimes it's nice to have an open conversation with members and what not, without the need to constantly refresh the page. Anyways this is just something I feel would be nice to have here as well.
 
Surprised no one else seemed to like this suggestion, or I'm missing something....
 
Just posted this reply elsewhere, thought I'd copy it here as well: https://simsettlements.com/site/index.php?threads/help-with-which-forums-to-post-in.3561/#post-27018

"Yeah unfortunately we would either need a LOT more moderators or leave the chat unmoderated and....unmoderated chats on the internet very quickly devolve into levels of horror that make 4chan look like a friendly church Sunday school class. Kinggath really doesn't want that kind of atmosphere associated with this community so open chats aren't going to be coming soon, though Kinggath has talked about a public discord in the future (once we have more moderators)."

It's good to know That you folks have that concern. Online communities especially, tend to get as toxic as your moderation/community leaders will let it get. So having a presence and curbing things before they hit slippery slope is very important.

Which is very staff intensive.
 
The popularity surge that came with RotC release forced Kinggath to invest in multiple anti spam tools. As an example.
All exposure comes with a price.
 
That's something I don't envy Kingath.

I get enough spam and whatnot just from existing.
 
As an administrator I get to see all the deleted spam threads still. If I look at the Recruitment forum (the most popular spot for the spammers) the spam threads completely fill several pages.
 
Always the most fun. Bots are pretty complicated these days too, get past more than the old basic shit.
 
Actually the bots aren't the biggest problem, its the human spammers.
 
I never looked at the recruitment forum, but I bet it's a lot of "Ooooo positions of power open, gimme gimme!"
 
now hiring: minions.

Would you like to work in a dynamic fast-paced challenging environment with opportunities for promotion to underling once your loyalties are proven beyond any reasonable doubt?

Would you like access to the latest and greatest codebase with the added challenge that it will eat your save and possibly impregnate your cat?

How do you feel about gladiators?

Do you like cheese?

Apply within! your application plus 100$ might get you a canned rejection email covered in baby goop by PrinceGath himself acting on behalf of his father whom he will rule the galaxy side by side with one day.
 
hehe and gladiators
