Well due to a very good discussion about the state of things in chat today i am opening this topic up for general discussion.
I would LOVE to hear everyones opinions on what we really can do to keep new members in the chatroom and to make the overall atmosphere a fun place to be.
I will be HEAVILY moderating this topic so please stay on point.

My personal main idea is to tidy up mainroom chat.
It can be an overwhelming thing just to click enter chatroom for the first time, especially for first time swingers just toying with the idea.
If they come in and straight away see a huge conversation about tits and arse they can get the wrong idea that the chatroom is just a seedy place to be and leave.
Another member told of a situation where they were trying to make a new member comfortable but due to only a few people flooding the room with conversation left without returning.

Thus i think the following could be a small step in the right direction to getting the chatrooms more functional.

Main Chat - No Directing HEAVILY moderated.
This room would be the default introductory chatroom where only faces are to appear on cams (no sexy stuff what so ever) and conversation is very heavily moderated to the point where it is just a functional chatroom for greeting new people and establishing they know what to expect.

Chat room #1 - Directing Allowed Not Moderated.
This would be where people migrate to for full on sexual conversations where any topic not illegal would occur. Pretty much an anything goes room.

Chat room #2 - No Directing Moderately Moderated
This would be where people who want to have some light conversation about sexual activities would go but that would still like the general feeling of dignified conversation to be maintained.

Any further rooms could be established on a by request basis.
Things like a fetish room, dogging room or a BDSM room are examples of themes that could be set up if the interest and patronage in these rooms were sufficient.


Anyways thats my idea.
Please add to this topic, and any and ALL suggestions are welcome.
Tell us if you think the mods are too heavy handed, not heavy handed enough if you have an idea for a new rule etc etc

Lets get the conversations going!

Maybe this is where the other rooms can be more fully utelised - perhaps one with the name like the lounge - for general chat and getting to know one another - which i know means changing the default room the link sends you to.

Gret idea J

I really think people do feel pretty daunted when they first go into chat and all that is being talked about it i sex, hard to jump into the middle of a converation like that.

I know I did, was going to leave and not come back until i got a whisper from someone welcoming me.

The idea of the faces on cam only room is a great idea, would definitely make people feel more welcome. I even think your suggestion of rooms, slightly moderated and then complete directing are great too

People can then go in the rooms they feel most comfortable and ome will move round them all depending on thier moods.

We definitely need to make new people feel comfortable and how them it is not a sleazy webite, which it isnt, there are some aweome people on here

Good topic, heres my thoughts on it; have no cams and no dirty talk at all in the main room. main room just used to say hello and intrduce yourselfs.
Once both partys are happy they can go to a new room to suit what they wana do??
i cant see how all the rooms will ever be used if there isnt a really good reason to go to them??

also maybe a room for peoplethat want to masterbate and watch or be watched with direction and dirty talk?? Only those people who want that activity would go in it?


But you have to start in the main room thats where you sign in?

have to agree with that can be extemely hard to pick up the theme of the conversation but I guess the problem being is you are still going to get folks entering the directed rooms in the middle of something without first reading what is what. but in whole I support this idea Great thinking

moderation..

Hey JnA you are right on track...controlling the chat in the 'moderated rooms is vital..especially from predatory single males who dont know what NO means.. its the plague of all chatrooms.. especially those without OP's present..
People need to understand that is OK to complain..
Zero tolerance for repeat offenders is vital.

Right on J

I think you are on the right track J the default room ie the first room clearly states no direction but every night I see heaps of guys directing the women to get their breasts out etc or show us more. This should be the initial get to know each other room, then when you are comfortable or more adventurous move on to other rooms where anything goes, there if you dont like whats going on you are free to go back to the "meet and greet room" your choice. I dont see the need for many rooms the one you suggest are fine as there is always the option to create "new" rooms for private or public chatting and or viewing.
I would also like to thank you HB and Lise plus the other moderators for the effort you put in to making it an enjoyable experience for everyone.

I support chat changes, by just changing the room names so people can go where they are comfortable will make a big difference.
Not much else to say because lovely J has covered it all.

I have also suggestd in rockh's post about a reputation system idea, if interested please have a read over there as well as rock's idea is also a great one ( sorry to hijack a bit there J! )

Having being an old kiwiswingers couple, the big thing we miss is the couple interaction... The site now seems to be getting very male heavy..especially the chat, maybe rooms only couples and females access.. Kiwiswingers was all about couples finding other couples, thats what swinging is all about isnt, !!!

I have noticed lots of guys who come into the chat room and cause trouble. Upsetting people etc.
Maybe make it more involved to create a profile, you have to supply a photo, give more information etc.
Do a search, you see a lot of guys joining with no info/photos at all!
It's currently too easy for someone who just wants to have a laugh, take the piss or troll to create a profile and get on the chat room.

What do you think?

Thanks so much for bringing this up, I agree 100% that its all too easy.

I am not sure what can be done about having to have a pic etc as it might scare away some of the genuine folk who dont want photos on their profile but we have put some suggestions to the admins and will wait for their thoughts.
