Chat Global Ignore?

[brad.dude03]

I think I might be accidentally global ignored on chat?

I can join fine, the button blinks, but none of my messages go out. It let's me enter them fine, the enter button flashes, but no messages enter the chat. I can recieve them fine, even whispers, and I see all the chat, but I can't participate in any way.

I've tried in both IE and FF with no luck.

Help?

Well you can't get whispers if you're GI'd, can you?

I believe this is a cookies issue, you might need to clear/clean your cache and such.

I have had issues where my messages would not appear.

This should be in admin contact, if anywhere, so do me a favor and move it to the proper forum. In the meantime I will see what I can dig up, but your problem does not sound like a global ignore, it sounds like you were silenced.

 

[brad.dude03]

I have no idea why I'd be silenced, I barely use chat anymore.

It's not a cookies issue either, tried it with 3 browsers and no luck. so I was just wondering if the general public had experienced anything like this.

And it's a bug. There's no reason for me to be silenced so it obviously has to be a bug, thus, the Bug Reports forum. Amazing how logic works, eh?

Have you attempted to clear the cache anyway? cookies follow through browsers I believe.

 

[brad.dude03]

I tried it with Opera after clearing all personal data and still no luck. I tried Chrome, I tried Firefox, I tried IE7.

I think I'm silenced.

Works great when there exists none in the first place, you're right.

Upon further investigation, it appears that one of the admins silenced you because when you entered chat the other night, you spammed something like 20 lines in all caps. I'm sure that if you ask the administration nicely in the correct forum it'll be taken care of no problem.

Anyways, I'm just poking you to take the proper means to correct issues. I'll see to it that it gets fixed. I have a feeling it was intended to only be for a few minutes, but then was forgotten about.

Silly brad got in trouble for "singing" again.

Silencing is about one of the stupidest inventions so far...

If you want to ban someone from the chat, ban them from the chat.

 

[brad.dude03]

What?

I don't even remember this? I recieved no warning, complaints, or orders to stop. As far as I recall, chat was dead and no one was perturbed in the slightest by my burst into song.

I can't even remember what I was lyric-ing?!

Whatever. I run half the website yet I can't even participate in the chat. Oh, the irony.

 

[Rising_Dusk]

Taking an attitude isn't going to fix anything and you know it. I agree that silencing is silly, particularly without warning. I said already that I will see to it that it gets fixed, and that's all there is to it.

 

[brad.dude03]

I'm not taking an attitude, I'm expressing my thoughts on this whole debacle.

As long as things get straightened out this thread has more than fufilled its purpose.
