how about adding a chat box in Tree of savior forum?

i’ve done this before in an attack on titan fan game forum where i suggested that they open a chatbox system where everyone can chat in real time in the forum so simple questions like builds and such can be asked in the chat and people can answer in real time.

also it’s fun to talk in real time. the chatbox was wonderful on that forum that i contributed on. i hope it’ll be a good solution to some of the forum problem cheers staff

Or we could just have a dedicated IRC channel. Chat boxes on forums kill me. Looks ugly.

#3

of course somebody would disagree, dedicated irc channel doesn’t serve the purpose of “being here” in the forum, people will keep making thread.

anyway i understand that some people would disagree even if only because it looks ugly.

I like threads. If I have a question, I put up a thread and someone answers the question. Later someone has the same question so they ‘Search’ for the question and they find my thread and the answer to their question.

The problem in this forum is that there are no moderators. You have people constantly asking the same questions, but no one closing these topics to discourage this behavior. What you need is moderation. A chatbox won’t stop the flood of posts.

#5

We do have moderators, they’re just on a different time zone than most of us.

#6

Then we can assume that the moderators do not mind the large amount of identical posts and it is thus not a problem.

julie has made a post about putting the same topic in 1 thread because it’s cluttering the forum i can’t find it to quote though, but she do says that. i remembered it.

more like they search for a question and 1000 threads asking the same question appears.

listen i don’t know what you’re thinking but it has clearly worked on the forum that i moderated before, do you have any idea what you’re talking about or is it just out of self interest of making lots of thread? your opinion is so weird i don’t think we understand each other correctly.

#8

Yea I know i’ve seen it. And she closed the thread. That is what we need. For moderators to continually close duplicated threads. This sets a precedence for others to follow that they should search for a thread before duplicating it or it will be closed.

#9

are you kidding me? you are putting pressure on the moderator to constantly clean up the mess in the forum? are you like a kid or something? i’m not trying to be offensive but you want others to clean up your mess?

the duplicated thread should not exist in the first place, lot’s of threads ends up asking very simple very short question which can be resolved within seconds in chat box.

it sets no precedence or whatever, because people are ignorant and all they want is to ask and they don’t care if anybody has asked it or not. but with chat box at least they will ask that ignorant trivial question in the chatbox which is easy to answer and is way less of a mess than duplicated thread.

You realize that a moderator’s entire job is to ‘moderate’ the forum right? Which means to keep it clean? My mess? This is a community.

Yes, 8 years of combined doctoral and post-doctoral education and i’m a kid … okay.

I’m not saying that your chatbox solution isn’t good, I just don’t think it will do what you think it will. People will still ask trival questions, and for every 1 that gets answered on the chatbox, 2 more will pop up on the forums.

You want to help keep the forums clean? That’s a moderators job.

#11

oh lord man…

moderators, answer questions that can only be answered by IMC
they take care of duplicated thread for now
they take care of inappropriate thread.
they take care of trolls
they take care of a lot of things.

i’m totally wasting my time trying to explain this right? oh well at least i tried, of course let people clean up our massive mess since it’s their job of course.

You’re confusing developers and moderators. Right now the only moderators are the developers so of course it doesn’t make sense for them to waste their time cleaning the forums.

Once community moderators are introduced, that IS their job.

Here are a bunch of links with definitions and job postings for moderator positions. Take 5 minutes to read a couple of them and understand that it is literally a moderators job to ‘keep community forums clean’.

No? Your suggestion was for a chatbox to keep trival threads from being created. My answer was that a chatbox will not do this effectively and causes more visual noise than it’s worth. My suggestion was that moderators are the driving force behind resolving the entire issue of your thread and thus more of them are needed or more time must be taken to achieve this.

#16

you’ve made your point about not wanting to socialize with anyone in numerous post, i get it lol.

#17

i’m done with you, i’ve answered you as best i could, i felt like being trolled right now. no idea if you’re trolling or not but you’re impossible to explain to.

good day to you.

This guy is literally offering helpful advice and you’re there acting like a spoiled brat and calling him a kid because he didn’t like your suggestion lol

#20

i didn’t call him a kid, i think he might be a kid. it wasn’t an insult didn’t you read what i wrote? i’ve never insulted people in this forum.

i’m totally fine with him not liking my suggestion i mean, he’s nitpicking every single little thing like, the choice of word i use even if he understand what i meant. i wonder why you seem to think that i’m being a spoiled brat right here.
