Title: Chat
Post by: oldspice on August 21, 2007, 11:37:05 am: Is anyone else fed up with Ghandi and Shama chatting away without making any contribution to the Forum what-so-ever? Or am I just being mean?

Post by: loulou on August 21, 2007, 12:55:57 pm: I think we are probably better off if they stay in chat .

Post by: smurfboy on August 21, 2007, 03:15:44 pm: I'm fed up with it too, but unfortunately I can't block anyone from chat as it's hosted on a different server - so for now we're stuck with them.

Post by: oldspice on August 21, 2007, 05:22:11 pm: It seems they've dropped the Urdu and started using more English. I do wonder why they don't just use MSM though.

I don't think they'd be any trouble if they joined in with the posts but it just seems a bit rude to jabba away without reference to the rest of us.

Post by: on August 21, 2007, 09:26:51 pm: I have friends at work who can read Punjabi. I don't think there is a cause for concern. I could post in Clingon, would that cause concern? Damnit, I will do.

It's Urdu or Hindustan or something. Most Asian kids can speak their native language it but can't write it in their own script so they use a kind of agreed phonetic system I think.

Clingons are those little bogeys that you can't get off your finger. (somebody told me, not that I'd know)
Klingon is the ficticious StarTrek language.

Post by: goldencup on August 22, 2007, 09:40:57 am: They aren't even members. They've obviously hijacked our chat box because they can't get onto normal Live Messenger wherever they are. We have the same thing at work - people can't use MSN etc because it's blocked but they can use chats like ours. I think it's the same in many workplaces/Colleges etc.

Post by: oldspice on August 22, 2007, 10:36:33 am: How do they get into our chat if they are not members? You have to log in don't you?

Post by: smurfboy on August 22, 2007, 02:59:47 pm: Ghandi is a member, I checked. As Oldspice said, it wouldn't be so bad if they spoke in English and were polite enough to say hello. I got the predictable mouthful when I call them up on it yesterday.

Sorry - indeed he is, I had checked too but was spelling it wrong - it's actually Gandhi. Doesn't excuse them though!

Post by: chocadmin on August 23, 2007, 07:46:52 pm: should i try blocking them out of the chat? (theoretically possible, but I can't remember what the code looks like off the top of my head).
Title: Chat
Post by: oldspice on August 23, 2007, 08:22:18 pm: Is it worth the trouble? Maybe a whole bunch of us should just jump on chat one day/night when they're jabbering away and just post in between their posts to interrupt their flow and make them realise they're not alone on this Forum!

Post by: naxos on August 23, 2007, 09:00:34 pm: Me too. When?
Title: Chat
Post by: on August 23, 2007, 09:22:13 pm: The language Clingon is that spoken on the planet Voyt in the sytsem of Centauri Proxima. It is nothing to do with Klingon, which Paulham referred to.

Post by: smurfboy on August 25, 2007, 12:36:22 pm: Let's block 'em out - it's beyond a joke now.

Post by: naxos on August 25, 2007, 01:19:36 pm: Chocadmin -- if they're logging in from home they probably have static IPs. What about blocking those addresses server-side?

Post by: goldencup on August 28, 2007, 06:03:22 pm: Dare I say it but it looks as though they might have found somewhere else to chat.

Post by: naxos on August 28, 2007, 08:38:03 pm: I still think I'll join in at 1pm tomorrow for some puerile but rewarding disruption...

Post by: loulou on August 31, 2007, 10:29:41 am: I copied and pasted their chat into google and that's what came up so i just put that on chat. Have no idea what language it was or what i said.
