Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) Don't know if anyone else is having this problem too, but for a couple of weeks now, the chatbox seems to be missing. Any idea why? Edited November 10, 2014 by Queen Elsa Steelheart
Rubix he/him Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 The chatbox has been removed due to spam abuse, and it being much harder to get posts out of it. We're hoping to find a plugin that will let us moderate it, but until we find such a plugin and the time to install it, we'll need to just use the chatroom that there's a link to at the top. Sorry!

Observer Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Basically a textbook example of why we can't have nice things? (Also, while I wasn't on for anything later on, there was only a single user I could see that was posting crap in the chatbox, and he was as legit user, not a bot. Not sure if I missed something or if that's even relevant.)
Rubix he/him Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Someone was posting links to NSFW content in the cbox. I don't want 17th Shard to be a platform where that stuff has an opportunity to be clicked on. As it was, I couldn't take just the links out (or prevent it from happening in the future), so the cbox had to come down.
Chaos he/him Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 The Cbox might come back. Thing is, that was a very old module not integrated into 17S, and we couldn't actually moderate it. It's insane it actually lasted this long. There are chatbox/shoutbox type things for IPB, however, I was unsatisfied. Maybe someday it will come back.
