Its not just about being welcomed or greeted. It's about being completely ignored. Even on the mic, you try to join the coversation and you are ignored like you arent even speaking. I call it a clique, because that is precisely what it is. What if someone is just lonly or needs prayer and no body can be bothered to speak to that person.

Today I went into the support cc chat because I wanted to discuss supporting cc chat. Two people were in there and a guy on the mic abruptly told me "this is private" and asked me to leave. I did , but... I didn't apologize even though my reflex was to say "sorry". There is a private chat feature but I suppose they wanted a private place to chat on voice/cam. I had recently read this thread and the responses that denied this unfriendliness could possibly ever happen and thought I might mention it here. I just want to say the author of the thread makes a valid point that we need to make a little effort to make people feel welcome. I was basically disinvited from a chat room and asked to leave and it made me realize it would be horrible if I was a new person and that was my experience here, being asked to leave. May I politely suggest if people want to chat private to either use the text based private feature or perhaps use skype or another alternative means. It would actually be more private anyway and prevent these types of accidental interruptions, and also will make CC chat seem like a more friendly place if we aren't asking people to leave the public chat rooms. I hate to seem kersnikity and I'm not trying to complain. I just noticed some people seem to be invalidating the premise of the thread. I've not been the best people greeter either. I am going to try to show people a little more friendliness. I get shy and clam up so I'm bad at it too. I think it wouldn't hurt us all to try a little harder.

I am sorry that happened to you emma. There is no reason it should have it was a public room and they dont get to say who is there and who isnt. and you are absolutely correct if they wanted private they should have went to a private text box or got on skype. I have had it happen to me as well and I told them well if you want a private chat you will have to go else where because I am in a public chat. I often go to another room if it gets to busy in the room i am in and I notice people ask if the convo I am having with a friend is private it never dawned on me that this may have happened to them before. Anyway I am quite long winded my point was basically to say sorry and to tell you you should have told them that you didnt have to leave and I dont me get rude but just remind them they are in an open chat room and they are not the owner so they cant do that and maybe even ask them from now on if they realize how rude thaat is?
