The Chatroom

November 17 2024

I've been on RHP for 10 years on and off. In that time, I've enjoyed visiting the chatroom. The banter was always good, sexy and fun, and lots of people met up and became friends or lovers. Lately there seems to have been a shift in the dynamic. There is a block button if people offend you or you don't like them for some reason. Getting people life bans is petty and off putting. I'm not talking about people who deserve it, through bullying or disrespect, but people who have been chatroom regulars for years and never caused trouble. No one is better than anyone else. We won't always get on with everyone, the block button was put there for a reason.

    Sounds like it’s evolved to the online equivalent to the Stanford experiment.

    I would think anyone who gets a life ban is deserving of it. I'm pretty sure they aren't just handed out willy nilly.

    The last thread about chats and bans didn't go down too well (it got deleted fairly quickly) and in retrospect it was kinda unnecessary. If you've moved on and become a better more positive person, then good for you. Just keep on doing that and regain the trust of the others again. There's really no need to come in here and make an announcement about it. It's kinda like when people announce they're leaving a FB group because they've been targeted by admins blah blah blah. It isn't an airport departure lounge.

    Not a go at you either Koko. Never had any issues with you in chat or the forums, you're always pleasant and non confrontational from my observations.

    Hi Koko,
    Remember years ago, the chat room used be funny as, people met, met ups were arranged, friendships formed and some got married!
    I'm still friends with quite a few!
    I've jumped in quite a few times this year. All I've read is people being disgusting towards each other, cheap smut talk and rude males (Yes, I'm meaning those in couple profiles without partner being there and dominating every conversation). There was no chat room etiquette!
    A huge shift, all right!
    I couldn't stand it and havent been in since.
    As for that recent chat room forum, I did wonder what had happened to it?

    @kokoflamingo I so agree with you on this subject . The chat room in the last 6 months I’ve noticed has become so ego based . Simply if someone has done something that annoys etc just block them . We seem to be reporting over small things . If we don’t sort this out eventually moderators and time limits will be put on chat rooms to so the drama will be reduced . Like your forum post Koko

    Koko you’re 100% right.

    There are a few people who are heavy on the report button, seemingly for petty reasons.

    However, some should have been banned years ago.

    There needs to be a better system to avoid people returning under new profiles and new genders, trying to hide who they are.

    There has been a shift in the dynamic where the level of thirst is off the charts. What used to be ignored is now encouraged. And that, to me, encourages others to try and ‘keep up’. This has ended up spilling into real life for a number of people unfortunately, and of course that flows back into chat in the form of drama and taking sides.

    Rewind two years I reckon.

    Also when one enters the chat room, there a consent to agree too, for code of conduct for behavour- same as messaging.

    My questions are:
    1 Why isn’t RHP monitoring this more closely?
    2. I agree with block button. If people want change/solution, why arent those they see breaking the rules, comversations not being screenshot and reported?
    3. As for vulgar sexual chats between people, why aren't they going to a private room or whisper? Why make it public for all to see?
    Not everyone in chat wants to read; "I love my arss pumped bareback, then sucking off his cock".
    Unless of course they are sex workers fishing for business? Which is not accepted by RHP policy.
