@Mothership This has come up before. Partly the issue is privacy, since private chats would no longer then be private. I think the consensus at the time was that bad actors can be reported to moderators via chat itself but then you need to know who the mods and admins are. Otherwise I think they can just block offending (ab)user(s). Be that as it may (or may not be cuz my recollection is hazy on this): Seem like a "Report Abuse" button could be useful if it can be worked into the UI. 🐕 🌴 🌴
Cross-forum chat room
-
I'm using NodeBB as an interface for an app, more like a crowdsourcing hub. The forum is okay, but sometimes the communication is more dynamic and people have to either speak on the phone, use other apps or meet in person.
For new forums or for forums with small user base, a cross-forum chat room would be very engaging.
For the UI I'm imagining something like DC++ looked like in the old days.This idea fits in different scenarios. At least in mine it does. The chat room would be an extension of the forum.
How do you find the idea?
