Ability of making ShoutBox Private Rooms

[Cyprus]

Oke I think I speak for all when I say that this is an AMAZING idea that should be implemented. To reduce the abuse of it, let's say it's a Supreme only perk and that each private room lasts for 3 hours max (can remake them after 3 hours) and that you invite up to 5 members, makes whisper group convos MUCH easier. Any thoughts? Say +1 if you agree and -1 if you don't (Please don't just rate without explaining why you like/don't like it, thanks)

+1 Even though I don't like you, this seems like a good idea so I'll agree this once.

This would be very useful in multiple cases.
1. If there's more than 2 people involved in a deal. Perhaps two server owners purchasing a logo from an artist.
2. Banter between friends, that everyone else in the SB doesn't care to see. Joshinator Cyprus
3. Arguments that are toxic for the SB. So Samuel and yung bans can insult Mick in peace :3

There are probably many other examples.

I can already see a problem with this, these chat logs must be kept in a very secure database if we are allowing deals to be done through "Private shoubox rooms" If a deal goes wrong, the chat will be requested from the owner known as Mick. If the chat was unable to be provided or has already been deleted from the database it is stored in, the blame will be pointed towords Mick for not providing the chat, thus making the scam report that will be created 'Invalid'.

Actually Mods can retrieve chat logs so that wouldn't be an issue.

That's true. Didn't think of that

This seems like it's needlessly complicated. It's not something that will add a lot of value to the SB that you can't simply do in some other program. There's Discord, there's Slack, there's Skype, there's a halfdozen other messaging apps with conversation/group options. I see no reason why the site should expend significant resources in allowing you to make temporary private rooms inside the shoutbox when you can do those same things pretty much anywhere else.

 

[Cyprus]

Discord isn't used by everyone (I don't use it), skype's messages can be deleted and I don't even know what Slack is (seen it around though) so yeah, as I said, it would be better to implement this. And TheClanX7 chat logs are kept for like 6 months afaik, Mick can you tell us for how long they are kept exactly? Anything over 3-6 months will be enough in my opinion.

 

[Ivain]

so what if not everyone has discord? not everyone in the world is on MCM either, making a discord account won't kill you.
In all seriousness, I doubt you see how much this would cost to custom-develop. If the number of supreme users tripled overnight, that MIGHT just finance it. Barely. While we all know the site makes a decent profit, there's no need to throw money everywhere.
If you want a private live-chat, Supreme messages are sufficient. They have a 1-min edit time at the moment, but that is all.
Oh wait, ofc, non-supreme members won't have it as live-chat. That's too bad.

btw, you were wondering what Slack was. https://get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/202395258-Edit-or-delete-messages might be interesting for you. It's meant for team communication, but I'm pretty sure it's not a problem to invite people for deals then kick them out later. may be a tad clunky, but far better than asking for the site to develop an entire modification of a perfectly functioning plugin for what feels to me like a niche requirement.

Shoutbox already has multiple room functionality according to Mick

 

[Devon]

Yeah this is totally needed, I wish you could add more than 1 person to a private message!

/s

not sure if troll or never tried...
I'm 100% sure you can add more than 1 person to a private message.

Geez lmfao you guys are shit at seeing sarcasm. I even put /s indicating it...

 

[Ivain]

oh, /s actually means sarcasm? Haven't seen that one before, usually people use /sarcasm as a whole.
Also yeah, I'm terrible at seeingit, thanks to the dozens of users on here that said things like that seriously.
