Message: <blockquote data-quote="Darrius of the Guardians" data-source="post: 2561020">The Quality of the RP of the ISRP area is an intercustomer concern, think about it.  Does Mel or anyone who works directly for wizards have a vested stake in the quality of the RP beyond a nebulous relationship between those who use ISRP and the buying of books or is it more something that Customer A and B have a vested interest in?Please, I never once stated that their isn't a relationship between ISRP use and buying of books.  There isn't a relationship between "quality" RP and ISRP use, indeed some of the worst RP I have seen has being during fetishes that were wildly popular outside of myself.No, you are comparing two items of unlike value.  Proofreading and standardized formating is akin to moderation, skipping it is not akin to making moderatoin easier.Let me give you an example, with Bravenet, you can have a chatroom with no moderation, which means someone flooding the screen can't be removed, people who launch vicious personal attacks can't be removed.Now obviously from a large group (like the ISRP patrons) point of view those chatrooms suck, and the moderation is not easy.  Making hte moderation easier means there will be (in theory) less repeat abuse that slides by as its easier to moderate, it has nothing to do with being simpler, it is more a term of how diffcult it is to handle issues.  The easier the handling of the issue the less that slides by.These boards are more stable than the Ichat server, as I recall Mel mentioning before about having to hard reset its server, where as the boards can be reset remotely.  It may not be so easy to see the diffrence, but its why, during the weekend, if the chat goes down it is normally down until the next monday.Yes, but Nevine, I have noticed a trend of each month of so some people leaving and never coming back, now in my mind a lot can be attributed to things like no mozzila support, the diffcult of moding (at least presumably there), where as the older crew leaving is basically meaningless, in all honesty.  Yes it means for a bit no older patrons to help new patrons aside from the WizOs, but you know what?  It also means fewer people who have it in their heads that they are intriniscially important to the site, and refuse all forms of change.Indeed so do I, it sucks that I have to register each one of names twice should I choose to post with it.It sucks that I can't dynmically look at room list counts and keep my eye on converstations at the same time.It sucks that should a server go down, someone has to come and manually reset it.I find this more of an inconvience than most problems with the new Chat.</blockquote>
