Title: The Shoutbox
Post by: Silver Knight on 11-08-2012
It has come to my attention so many times that the shoutbox is seen as a shitbox for people to scream random bullshit and the admins that tried to moderate it could not cope with the amount of rubbish people were posting.

Not only that but people outside of HGN take note of the shoutbox and see it as the attitude of the community being that it's displayed on most pages on the forums.

I would like to ask people their opinion on this matter and if the shoutbox should be hidden, placed elsewhere or even removed due to the issues surrounding it.

Put it somewhere else and make it something like, like a HGN Facebook, that's what it mostly is, a giant faggotry facebook chat.

Set stricter/more specific rules and regulations regarding it, issue forum bans to non-compliants

Just look at the first two shouts or so and realize how fucking useless this shoutbox really is.

Either get rid of it or make it possible for moderators to remove posts for fuck's sake. Then just enforce the damn rules.I'm not even a mod anymore but this was always a problem

Seriously why did you revive the shitpost box.

maybe the shoutbox should be hidden by default, and toggled in the Profile Options.

That way, if people would like to ignore the shoutbox, they can toggle it off.

|HGN-Dir| Kapitan James :D ☢: then click toggle shoutbox

And we don't have to hear the inevitable autoplay youtube videos.

I have made the shoutbox a slider and made it bigger now that general people don't see it.

If you want to post youtube videos or flash use a spoiler tag. The best format for flash is here:

[spoiler=SOME TEXT\TITLE][flash=150,150]http://hyperknightservers.com/sites/michael%20Gray%20-%20The%20Weekend.swf[/flash][/spoiler]

Post by: Frostee on 23-03-2013
So, the slider is automatic?

Yes but freezes when your viewing something. Looks nicer.
