Member created rooms.

Thank you.

How about rooms named private, invite only, do not enter, private-please respect, just us, etc but are obviously not private because they're not password-enabled? These rooms that I was told thereafter were created purposely unlocked to allow unsubscribed members who can neither join locked rooms if password-enabled nor create their private rooms.

About a couple of weeks ago, I asked a related hypothetical question in the Lounge after noticing several unlocked rooms labeled as "private".

"What happens when someone joins the unlocked room CHUCK - Private Only?"

I was told by a member that I should not (enter that room). That I shouldn't bitch about when I get kicked out. For the record I wasn't complaining and haven't attempted joining those rooms. With respect to the existing AUPs, T&Cs and Chat rules applicable to the scenario that I mentioned to them (Lounge), the same member repetitively called me a Karen and a whiner. 🙃

Are these rooms allowed and to be treated as private despite being not locked? I think it defeats the purpose of privacy and clearly circumvents the rules.

Perhaps a thread I created a couple of days ago has prompted your question.

The matter was discussed within the chat moderation team and we decided we did not want to 'close' rooms that purport to be private when they are not. However, that decision may change if in particular we see the room owners of such rooms abusing their moderator permissions. Such rooms are essentially 'public' and other members can enter the rooms should they wish to do so.

@bluestocking - Better to ask a moderator those questions (as you have here), and or get a Moderator to deal with any infractions.

I'm not so sure if it is although these are related. Thanks for sharing the other thread and the update. I'm chuffed that these are discussed. In my opinion the decision sounds fair between the admin/mods and members. Also the voyeur in me is tickled hahaha

Unfortunately there was no moderator at the time. The hypothetical enquiry was to promote a healthy and fun banter in a seemingly dead room. My bad I forgot there is a site forum. I also thought since it is about chats the Lounge was the best venue for that question as the subjects are there. It may have been fun or at least insightful had it not been for someone who acted so antagonized by me. I don't know how often and how many chatters come here. In line with that it would be nice if the mods will share these updates in the chatrooms for proper information dissemination. Anyways thanks for the assist. Much appreciated 🌻

It may help if you share biscuits and perhaps other tasty nibbles with the chat moderators. I do know one chat moderator loves Yim Yams. 😇

I can bake tea biscuits and mango bars or dried mangoes dipped in chocolate. Mangoes are in season. Are the Yim Yams from the Land Down Yonder? 🤭

Questions/observations:

Are the room descriptors removed or was that a bug? From what I remember last year there used to be a room description text box where the room creator can fill it in with the room description like what the room is for and specific room rules that don't necessarily clash with the site rules. I planned to create an open room today, made a brief description and guidelines but there was nowhere to put it in.

Are the room keys gone as well? How does a creator pass the moderation key to another member now? How does a creator/key holder close a created room? I didn't see the room admin settings where the room destruction tick box and other settings used to be. I don't think it automatically closes when the creator leaves because I saw rooms without the creator(in badge) or any room key holder (who has to be a subscribed member).

I believe the presence of a room key holder (who takes room responsibility in the absence of the creator) will keep the room in order and the room description box was essential especially for "theme" rooms. To put it into context, this was what it was going to be like. A rmore intimate room that's in between Softcore and Eye Candy vibes in colour (and not).

tentative Room name: Salacious Sorority House

Description: Keep all images sensual, fun and classy. No RP, underage-looking models, or dungeon acts. Site rules apply. Leave if you won't abide. 🌻

So when you create a room you can setup a 'welcome' message via the black cog in the bottom right hand corner (change subject). The key was a V1 thing; here it's a shield for the room moderator. Via the same button you can close a room as the room moderator. There is no feature, as we had on V1, to add additional room moderators. No they don't collapse until the last member leaves. Hopefully that addresses all of your questions. Be careful of the room name... not sure 'House' would be acceptable. 😎

Thanks John. That makes sense because I based it from a off-Lush Chatroom walkthrough conversation I had with a former Lush member. He said "if my memory serves me right" 😂 He deleted his account sometime in late 2023-early 2024 so it could be the old version that he was talking about. I don't know when the new version went live so I'll trust u to it.

Although hazy, I remember that a Chat Mod passed the room moderation to me 1 time because he had to leave the B&W room. To keep it open he has to assign it to a subscribed member. I had the Gold at the time so it was around summer-fall 2023.

I created another password-enabled Test chatroom earlier. I still don't see the rest of the options to put a welcome message. These are what my mobile screen shows.

Update:

I found the "bug" and discovered a workaround. It's a display layout/screen size issue. Albeit not the most convenient, it works if only to display the cogwheel. For mobile phone users, you have to rotate the screen to a landscape view 😂

For devices with larger screen displays such as tablets or iPads this may not be a problem.

I'll stick to my smutphone for now.
