FabSwingers.com forum: Lack of mods in rooms and directing

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

There has been in increase lately in the amount of people directing in the non directing rooms and becoming rude when challenged. Please can the mods patrol the new chatrooms more frequently? The Scottish chatroom is becoming a no go area for me, and I'm not the only person to feel the same.

If you need more mods I'll volunteer.

Well I won't volunteer to latter part of your message, but must admit, I am avoiding the new Scottish chat room (shame as I am not into cams at all, so only visit Scottish chat) for the very same reason...I have found when the mods are in, directing only happens now and then, but they are immediately put straight by the mods, however the minute the mods leave and the room is unsupervised the blatant directing begins immediately! despite other chatting members asking them to stop! however on saying that, some of the people on cams are just as bad by doing what the directors ask...and yes, I am aware that mods have lives outside of this site, but quite a few people have brought this up and would just like to make every one aware that it does seem to spoil it for other members....

As you say, they normally direct more as soon as a mod leaves anyway.......hit the REPORT button on the profile and click on block, you won't have to read what they are saying.

Thank you...I was under the impression if I blocked them I would only stop contact via mail but thought I could still see what was being typed in chat rooms, so thank you for telling me otherwise. I will take your advice and perhaps start to visit and enjoy the chat rooms again.

If the room blocked the directors en mass then they cant see your cams, would soon get bored and go to the correct rooms. They would also have no one to chat too and would soon learn to show respect and follow the rules.

I believe the new room block works both ways, they can't see your text or your cam, you can't see their text.

The more people that blocked the quicker the rooms would self supervise.

But to the op, I'm in new chat quite a lot in the evenings, if I'm not in new chat I'll be in old chat, add me to your hotlist, if I'm online in the evening, mail me and I'll come in.

Steve, is there anyway, with future software mods coming, that an alarm button could be added to chat, only available if there are no mods in the room, that would send an Instant Message to any online mod asking them to come to the room?

If that's not possible, is there anyway that you can set up a group that we can send a message to, rather than the individual mods? You're suggestion, above, is generous, but I think we all realise that you all have private lives, and won't be available 24/7.

Another suggestion would be a special "Mods hot list" page showing which mods are avalable online, to save us all having to add all the mods to our own hotlists.

To the OP, I'm a regular in the Gen Chat room. I find in there, that most directors get jumped on by other members and (with a few recognisable exceptions) give up. Doesn't this happen in the Scottish room?

The problem is with people 'jumping on' the directors is that it often turns to worse rule breaking than what the directors themselves do.

Nothing wrong with saying "user-your in the wrong room to direct etc" and if done politely many do actually say sorry, more so sometimes than if a mod says it. But when people say "fuck off to the directing room you thick twat" as is often witnessed then that is just wrong.

It's probably frustrating for the guys in the room who are genuine and are tarred with the same brush as the directors, all you can do is encourage those been directed to block and report.

I'm sure that you have seen us in the Scottish room numerous times recently. Certainly I have seen erotica in there a few times and said hi. We do try to get around as many rooms as possible when we are on and don t tolerate directors. So get back out there and enjoy.

I don't think that you'll find that many people are suggesting that you should be, we appreciate the pressure that modding puts on you and that its voluntary.

I believe a "panic button" approach would work, taking the pressure off the mods and, to be frank, giving the sensible users a bit of a feeling of being able to contribute to the smooth running of the chat rooms. I have hesitated to get involved, where I wouldn't have hesitated pressing a button anonymously, and I'm sure others would feel the same way. We presume that the Report function does work, since (rightly or wrongly) there is no feedback, but it isn't instantaneous and allows the idiots to continue to misbehave, until a mod happens by.

As an aside, when making a report I try to cut and paste the offending posts. This is nearly impossible in a fast moving chat room. Is there any possibility of fitting a handbrake? This is available in other chat software. Of course, when you take the handbrake off, the chat backlog hurtles past, so it is a bit swings and roundabouts!

For the RainMan....

In old chat, double click the chat screen and it momentarily turns green, thats the chat copied to clipboard and you can paste it into the report.

In new chat, you can select text as you would any document.

Remember though, admin will use the chat logs when reviewing reports as well, as all chats in both chat rooms are logged.

I forgot to respond to another of your points, a panic button etc would be good, but people would just press it for the fun of it.

like the ownership of this idea, add a meter that people could view and get above 60% in red and you get muted for a time out, get over 70% and you get muted for longer get over 80 and booted and blocked for an hour simples

In the new chat, you have to find each name from the list and individually block them. Not that easy in a crowded room, especially if you are getting loads of directions. Blocking them from profile only works in the old rooms.

As you see that someone has typed something you don't like, click on their name in the chat window, this will open their profile ... and block.

Block button, i am the word champion advocate of self policing by using this, dont get ya blood preasure up if someone is a persistent pest for whatever reason just block them. If they last on the site more than a week after that they may have modified there attitude or are talking to themselfs

and do you care lol

Major issue that i see at the moment is that they have doubled the ammount of chat rooms and I have only spoted one new mod.

They cant catch everything under the old amount of rooms and are totaly over streteched now so more mods needed me thinks.

Additionaly mods shoud have second duel accounts so that when they wish to use the site to chat they can, when they are here to do some moding they can do just that.

That may also overcome the actual or percived issue of favoritisum

I agree, Heather, the room users list was much better laid out, in Old Chat - could see about 20 people at a time, instead of 6 at a time in New Chat. Hopefully one for the 'to do' list?

I totally agree with people getting over the top with directors in chat, seen someone use racist language to someone today in general, i do think blocking is good, however there are many in general who have said they will be mods....any ideas how you can become one?? Having more would surely help the situation?

Yeah that will work just like kids at school ganging up on one of the other kids and locking him out of the classroom just for a laugh!

Everyone can use their block and report buttons just now as it is if there isn't a Mod in the room.

If I was given a pound everytime I heard use the Ban button and Hit Report..... I would be rich by now....... If we hit ban or report a user, what is the point of having mods.....

As Rugby says.... as soon as a mod come in they stop directing...

I think Rainmans comment about giving the one that jump on the directors is a bit harsh.... the regular chat users are getting fed up with the amount of directing taking place and WE jump on the directors as we are getting fed up with it!

Yes I agree being a mod is hard work and it is a thankless job but ALL mods need to have the same approach, which isnt always the case.

I have seen other chat programs with a vote to ban button and it works well....... the vote to ban only happens if a certain percentage of the room have voted to ban a user, which does stop the "school kids" ganging up.

This topic has been an on going one, which never seems to be resolved and I dont think it will be resolved anytime soon.

Hmmm I am half and half on a vote to ban button, yes I am guessing it woulod be set to a good few people pressing it before anyone being banned, but you would be surprised how many people can drum up others to do what they want, some people will do anything if they think it will get them a meet and some people will do as their friends ask wether they agree with it or not.

I also know what you are saying about the REPORT button but, as you agree, lots of people stop directing when a mod comes in, but if you hit the REPORT button then they will get banned that way instead even if it is at a later date.

Has anyone ever been in chat where someone has been banned from the room and no mod is in the room? It will be Admin doing it..so yeah, reporting is a good idea...and I know it is boring to hear the same thing over but block after you report, then you can't see them, if everyone blocks them they might get the message...same way as a vote to ban button would work, they wouldn't be able to join in.

I would say it depends on the way the room is as to how mods might mod the room, sometimes there is time to give reminders out and not look trigger happy, other times you only have time to just get rid of them as the room goes so fast, but then you would be called trigger happy anyway.

One chatter will expect someone to get a ban for asking is someone going to be turning their cam on, if a mod banned for that you will find half the room complain that it isn't directing.Getting the right balance is the key, and no mod will please every person in chat.

On another note, if you think there isn't enough mods, hit the CONTACT button putting yourself forward, when Admin decide they want more mods, they will decide from there.

I find the Report button is quite effective. I think Admin must keep a close eye on that, because quite frequently, a Mod arrives within minutes of me reporting someone for directing in General Chat. I have also seen people banned when there are no Mods in the room, say half an hour after I've reported them.

The problem of Admin banning people at a later date, of course, is if offenders are banned from Chat at a time when they're not logged on to Fab, their ban will expire before they want to rejoin Chat, so that's not really any punishment! I'd like to believe that their ban begins from the next time they log in to Fab, (although I can appreciate that might be too technically complex).

But I'm afraid I do agree that there aren't enough Mods, so I will put my name forward, using the CONTACT button.

I have hit that 'contact' button sooooo many times, and had the usual reply.... ''we'll look at this issue at a later date'' and still, hours go by each day with no mods in new and old chat.

We all know that just the presence of a mod cuts down on directing, spamming, and general rule breaking, so why are admin not gettin it???

I find it amusing, and frustrating, that theres been loads of forum posts over the last few months about the same subject, and yet admin still do sod all about it.... so much for site support!!!

I and many others post in the forums and comment in the chat rooms that users have their own block button yet many don't use it. So to be honest, it's not just admin that 'don't get it ' it's the users too. Report, block, encourage those that are the target of abuse or directing to block too.

Seems to me though that it's much more fun for people to wind up the directors.

Problem with that is, it often ends up with abuse and if reported could mean someone been excluded from chat permanently yet the director getting an hours ban. I'm sure you agree that's not right but would be the rules been adhered too.

Use the block button, leave the banning etc to the mods and enjoy chat.

"Report, block, encourage those that are the target of abuse or directing to block too. "

There are three problems with this.

1. Multiple Directors: When a lady/couple are naked/playing on cam, they are often being directed by 5-6 people at the same time. Going through the Report and Block routine for each of them in turn is time-consuming, and prevents the lady/couple from enjoying the room as they should be able to.

2. Blocks and Cams: at the moment, if we block someone, that doesn't stop them from viewing our cams - we have to turn off cam and turn it on again, for the block to take effect (again, making it a more onerous task for those of us who are not misbehaving.)

3. People playing on cam: people playing on cam don't want to interrupt their play to use the Report and Block routine. And the respectful room-users who are enjoying the show don't want them to, either!

I can't see any solution, other than more mods, to ensure that we have an enjoyable place to cam.

Sorry but I am going to be very blunt now.....but do people on an adult site want babysitting?

We have been in loads of chat rooms over the years, at times were there were no mods even on the site never mind in the room, but we dealt with it, most of the time just ignored the people who we thought were idiots as the more airtime you give them the more they will play up.

If Admin decide they are going to put in more mods they will, but it still won't be covered 24 hours a day as people normally have to sleep....so until or if they bring in more mods, use your REPORT button and block, and if you don't want to do that or find it to time consuming to do that, then ignore the people.

Do you have a list of when each current Mod is online?

You do seem to forget that the Mods do this as an add on to being members of the site too who can and probably do arrange meets of their own, have a life away from here, families to be with, work to go to, etc, etc, etc

As usual, just my own wee opinion.

I see your point.

Nothing will ever be perfect though unless of course you get people in who are on different time zones like the americans but even then they cannot be relied upon to actually stay the duration.

A good system takes time to get right unless of course you take on paid staff, like the bingo mods.

all these new mods that were added... hhhmmmm... whats the point when admin aint lookin at new people that are able to be online at the times current mods cant?

What times would they be?

Do you have a list of when each current Mod is online?

As usual, just my own wee opinion.

everyone is entitled to an opinion... and urs is clearly right... as i said before, we are not mod-bashing. most people i know, from my almost 4 years on here, want mods that can do all mid day, most of evening, and those darker hours... admin could look at people who are generally online and in chatrooms at this tine, and take that into consideration, instead of adding more mods with families and 9-5 jobs.... make sense?????

Nope mine isn't the only opinion, it is, as I said at the end "As usual, just my own wee opinion.

" I never said it was right but it's mine so yeah I am entitled to it!

I've been on here for a few years now too and no matter what folks intentions of being on at certain times of the day are; something will always make that change, so you will never be able to gaurantee full coverage by Mods.

I spend a lot of time at the weekends in the "darker hours" and there is usually at least one Mod online at that time too, if not then the block button is great.

If they follow your last statement then Admin should only ask people to be Mods who are single, unemployed, childless, who have no other living family or even any friends away from the site and never have to go out during the day for anything?

Yeah I know that was taken to the extreme but still just my own wee opinion!

I've been one part of a couple profile on here before so I know exactly what happens when the female half of couples are on cam, what whisper they get, etc, etc and at that time using the block and report buttons were used quite a bit!

It was funny though when they were insisting that they wanted to meet me (as in my initials of the profile name) but even funnier when the cam was switched to me and they soon ran off!

I've seen "chat" from all sides be that single male, couple and even being at a single females house and seeing what type of chat they get sent so I was talking from experience!

PS - My face is already pretty, well so my mam says anyway!

Why not use that site then, given how unhappy you are with the way this one is run?

Personally, I'd prefer to see the right people as mods, not the available people. If nobody available is right, what's gained by making some power-hungry argumentative whinger a mod, just for the sake of it?

Either respect Admin's decision not to make you mods, or contact them privately to discuss. All this snottiness, while entertaining, doesn't actually help.

Just our 2p here.

We get (literally) hundreds of mails from people wanting to be mods. We appreciate all applications but we do look for people we'll think will make good, long-term mods. There are more of these than we can pick so if you don't get picked it's not (necessarily) that we think you won't make a great mod it's just that we have a lot of people asking, we have a set of criteria, and we only have the resources to add, manage and monitor a handful of new ones at a time.

(One of the things we do look for is people who have a solid history of regular chatroom use and who are already being helpful in reporting problems in chat/on the site)

I would like to use the new chat but because there just aren't enough mod's to go around, now that there are double the amount, they have become extensions of the directing room, and lots of "regulars" seem to feel the same. The only options to solve this is to make more mod's or get rid of the old rooms.

"what makes me laugh is that there are forums complaining there aren't enough mods. people are fed up of directors blah blah.

So directing in room and when told to stop they more or less told you to shut up..... I hope as a MOD you banned them!! It is letting users get away with that kind of atitude that makes them think they can do whenever they like and gives other users cause to moan about the issues of lack of mods and the amount of directing taking place.

I agree there are too many rooms for the amount of mods to monitor. A decision needs to be made which version of chat is going to be used and remove the other one. Also there are too many rooms, removing some of the rooms will help the mods to monitor things.

But like others.... this is just my 2p worth...

but seriously.... these threads are getting... tedious! same old same old... ignored ignored ignored.... i think first of all, that some people are losing the point of the OP's first message, and also missed the point that they have left the site... clearly, they were a serious user, as they used chat rooms and forums... makes ya wonder what made them leave....???

there are so many valid points, from reg users, and mods... but the simple fact that remains, is.... we have no real commitment from admin regarding the issue. they have made new mods, without taking in to consideration, when these new mods are available, and what their commitment to the site is!

if new mods are going to be added this way, then why not make every user a mod? or, get rid of them all, as the 'block' and 'report' is clearly the answer... more mods or less rooms seems to be the obvious cure..... but maybe.... me and many others are writing in invisible ink!!!???

and... just so no one has a breakdown over this.... I LOVE THE CURRENT MODS, AND THINK THEY DO A FAB JOB, AS THEY WELL KNOW!!!

The profile was a typical fake looking profile no pics no feedback no info

But maybe if people can't be nice shutting down a few rooms when there's not enuff mods and alowing more into the rooms that are open Is the answer

There are always mods knocking around somewhere in chat doesnt take a brain surgeon to go and find one of these lovely peeps lol.

If your getting hassle of some numpty in a room then block them its that simple as that you would not want to give them the time of day anyway if they are giving you or others hassle unless you like that kind of thing some sad peeps on here do get their rocks off by watching hassle in chat and by calling peeps names but this goes on on most sites so isnt it a case of better the devil you know?

As for peeps keep making threats to leave the site because of this there will be loads more new members to take your place so its not like your going to harm the site fgs only yourself by not viewing the hot peeps on here

Quick followup here. Sherry and others do raise valid points particularly about our ability to add mods fast enough to keep everyone happy. We'll be honest: Adding new mods, briefing them, monitoring them and teaching them how to mod is a ballache.

We also have to tread a fine line... We add too many, we get complaints that the room is being interrupted too much. Not enough, some folks will complain about that.

We can't please everyone and we don't try to. We just want the most happy we can make happy.

Our future plans:

Later this year we plan to experiment with some sort of community driven timeouts (temp bans). Probably just in one room to start with, and it will be an experiment to see how it might work, what the thresholds would be to trigger a timeout etc. Our new custom chat rooms allows us to play and experiment with things like this, which old chat didn't.

So in summary, in the short term we are going to add more mods in the long-term we are looking at experimenting with community driven moderation (in conjunction with mods rather than replacing them).

Hope this helps explain where we're heading. As always, the feedback is appreciated.
