Now, unless they were selling a new variety of sexy butter, I would assume they were merely flaming.

That is all.

SPAM: Stupid Pointless Annoying Message = Pretty much everything you guys have said in this thread so far (with a few notable exceptions).

SPAM: is also why post counts are off in senseless banter, which also happens to be where you should be posting all of your "WH@T"/"LOL!!!!!11111!!!!"/"OMFG CHAT IS DA' SHIZZLE!" crap. If you somehow weren't aware.

Anyhoo. I think a really good solution to this would be to just create a locked room (assuming everyone knows how to do that??). And then just invite people who you want to talk to, and have a "verbal" agreement that only the creator of the room can invite people.

I've had some really nice discussions about LDing in the chat before... it's not a big issue from my perspective.

Wait wait, what??

...all I heard was butter and sex and had to stop in and see what kind of conversation I was missing.

Nah, but seriously though. I don't think I've ever seen a conversation about lucid dreaming, while in chat. Hopefully we can do something about that. Not that I don't love the ol' Senseless Chatter (<---made that up just now. ), but yeah, I'd think that LDing discussion should have seniority over the main room, when people are there trying to engage in it.

How about Dreaming Chat is the default room for Chat, and there's a Senseless room you can switch to? Just like the forum itself is for dreaming but we have an off-topic section.

There is a lounge chat room, they don't use it. We try to make our own chat rooms and they follow us to them.

I don't think that works. I was invited into a seperate chat room last night, there was a lock icon on the bar with the name of the room and the spammers still followed us there. Weren't you one of the spammers last night?

Um, no. I haven't been in chat in over a week or so now. Thanks though.

My apologies.

Use a password and invite people in. If some one is bypassing the password then they are probably PMing some one and asking to be let in and said person is being let in or given the password.

Of course, you could also grow the balls to ask some one to leave.

Yeah that's exactly what happens.. so just invite people in who you think would respect your wishes.

Anyhoo the fact of the matter is that most of the people who go in chat regularly don't do it for the LD talk. Although I suppose if it was easier to have an uninterrupted LD chat, maybe that would attract more lurkers/newbies? Always a good thing...

Yeah. I can have that effect sometimes.

But yeah, that would be my suggestion as well. Create a locked room, and don't invite Mark. I have enjoyed a few rather enjoyable lucid dreaming discussions myself in chat before, as well. It's just pretty rare. Which I suppose is unfortunate, really.

'Tis true.

They did. The problem was that they invited Xox, who invited the rest of us.

Excuse me, but I seem to remember you being as much of a bother as anyone else. For your putty minded flip-flopping, and the subsequent rolling over like a good little doggy and the kissing up that spawned from it, you are hereby commanded to remove the following parts of your screen name:

- "Man"

- "of Steel"

I kind of understand the point though. If you're going to create a room and invite people in individually, then you might as well as use an instant messenger and create a chatroom that way instead of bothering with setting and communicating passwords.

The chatroom we have is for people who happen to be on, may it be dreamers or butter-lovers. Some kind of conflict is inevitable. If you happen to see someone who is being really disruptive or inappropriate. Take a log of the chat and report it to one of the staff.

Or having sex while buttered up?
Or anything to do with sex?!

Omg ^^ Seis just posted!

lol that's why I have more than once proposed changing the rooms set at the chat.

One for general talk (the lounge) one strictly for LD talk, and secondary ones for specific topics or whatever

Touch a finger on Xox, and I'll touch a full fist on your face.

Pshaw. Me, be a bother? Never...

Putty minded flip-flopping? Rolling over? Kissing up? I was merely being polite, dearest of darlings. That is a skill you would do well to learn, Marky-boy.

And never, ever command me again. Please.


Oh, and Merlock, she does. I can assure you of that.

Well, "touching a finger on you" basically means touching one of your fingers.
And I've heard about the intricate art of Finger Touching. Very complex.
