Cross-Chat (Safe Chat)

[Edward Edgemenace]

The chat is harrowing, in that you rarely know, when someone can't hear you. The safe-chat people's messages and/or names should be in a different color somewhere. Right now, there is no indication AT ALL, that the intended recipient did not hear your message.

They don't even get "arrr." <-------That's the problem.

If I type something and press enter, everyone in that zone should hear something. Filter it down to "Please arrr at arrr arrrr arrr" (from "Please landd at Ile d'Etable Porc") if you must. But say something. Give them some clue that someone is trying to communicate with them. Maybe even give me a warning, like "Message filtered for 5 recipients" as a hints-like popup thing.

I agree with Edward. The most annoying thing about it is that you have no idea whether or not someone with safe-chat saw what you typed. I think there should some sort of indicator telling you the person with safe-chat did not recieve your message. I understand it is used to protect younger players from inappropriate chat, but i need to know whether or not they see the chat i sent them. If you did not know they had safe-chat, you might think they are ignoring you. I know some people who have deleted friends who they thought were ignoring them and it was just safe-chat.

Are a lot of POF members basic access members on POTCO then?
Because if you're an adult you can change the controls so there will never be an arr.
If you're a basic access member you can't change the controls so it's always going to do that arr.
I can say numbers easily. I never get an arr when I chat. I did when I was in beta but not anymore.
