OT ?

Would you love CHAT feature on Gamespot ?

Ummm ... Just like Facebook . You can chat with your gamespot e-freinds or group chat ( PLUS you can always report and block users if you feel uncomfortable as usual ) . I've been thinking about it and i definately feel it'll be awesome as gamespot is so popular online .

I think it'd be great. A dedicated IRC channel would be nice too.

have you ever been to chat rooms on anime sites or something? those things are horrible and unless mods are on point 24/7 it wouldn't be a good idea.

Chat would be awesome.

It wont happen though and I cant really blame GS since they try to seem some order here.A chatroom would be pretty damn hard to control..not really because of the users but the Porn bots and other kinds of spam..

Not trying to be a downer at all but it just wont happen and would be to hard to keep order within their rule set right now(hell even the rated R era couldnt have chat) :P

You work for GS...Pull some strings and get them to have more AND MORE events with Java chat.

Love those.

I didn't know there was a chat thing (looks now)

I just assumed since you had a G in your name..That explains why you hang out here >_>

jk.

I know a few years back some users made a GS chatroom browser ad on..is that it?

Gamespotmanagement can try a trial chat feature to see if it works or not . You can always close the featureanytime . Nowadays CHAT / Join online games are completely in ( See Steam , X-Fire , Raptr ) .

I was thinking as i notice Gamespot is very popular online and got lots of gamersmembers and the Chat featuremight work as it'll be a great enhancement for the site . More users 'll join .

PLUS our Mods 'll control the CHAT feature as they do with our boards . Anyuser taking advantage of the feature canalways be warned or moderated on complaints .

Just a thought :)

It would be nice but Chat would be rated X in half a day and have a constant flow of text unlike the forums.

It would be fun if it worked but it wouldn't and would be a waste of Jodies time (or whoever adds those things)

It's not a bad idea. One problem I see would be how to maintain order in it. The only possible way I can think of would be to assign "Chat" Mods. I think it could work out.

I see . Then remove / block user can be handy for users in such a case... imo :)

I think it would lead to too much sneaky about behind mods backs and could make the community quite hostile.

Chat function like Facebook would be cool. It could be treated like PM's so no moderators would be necessary.

One mod for each chatroom, or report feature that lets mods know straight away.

They had chat-rooms with mods during the E3 press conferences, so precedent has already been set for GS.

Let's see what other excuses will materialize ITT.

What's a ITT and why's it always around?
