I think communication is better limited to topics in the forums - much safer, and much easier to deal with the problem effectively and quickly. {up}
I agree, I joined when he was all over the chat and pm's. he bugged me so much this is the first time I came back. Im really glad the chats gone

I miss the chatbox as I said, but I honestly think PM works for now. :D

I totally agree, when that chatbox is here I am not. I come here to chill and do my hobby not to be pm'd 50 times in an hour by people like that, and its not very nice :neutral: .

We had a nasty old spammer called Tony, who registered under numerous obscene names and did nothing but spam up the chatbox. Apart from that, he also harassed female members of the site. Whenever the chat box comes back, he comes back, and vice versa. {down}

I can't really comment on the spammers because I wasn't here long enough to see that. If a chat box isn't possible, how about some sort of IM?

Oh gosh, please no. Notice the decline in the number of spammers recently? I firmly believe that the absence of the chat box is the cause. ;-)
