The current chat system does not work. This is why it is overwhelmed with negativity and has a poor reputation. The site has learned in the passed it seems that allowing financial supporters moderation duty will not work. Yet it still has not transgressed a pirate democracy. I think currently the biggest problem is that any three users can team up and ban someone from all chat rooms. This causes an override in corruption and makes all and any rules obsolete. I have been banned many times for simply having a different opinion, I have been banned for having a different denomination than another, I have seen others come in and just say "Hello" and get banned in the heat of the crossfire, And now I am banned by 3 people I have never met simply because I am new and they misunderstood a statement about my own beliefs. Any belief, even not believers or any faiths are supposed to be allowed here. Not that I care enough to try to fix it again, I only enjoyed talked to one or two people really. But what happened is the people everybody here complains about, those who sit home all day in some pure rage and sit online and insult people all day and make problems, these lost personality types are being the one put in charge when you allow corruption of a system to be done so easily. I advice not allowing any members to decide the fate of other members. If all faiths and opinions and creeds of people are welcome, there would be no reason to. The truly selected moderators always did a good job knowing the difference from somebody just angry cause they are psychopaths and somebody else has another opinion, or somebody actually making problems which is very rare. I find even the trolls are just trolls trying to avoid all the conflict, and people screaming are just offended. The true problem though is the moderators never enforced one rule, respect. If that happened all the people ruining it for everybody else would be banned instead of the people they are jealous of.
I feel safe because everyone keeps themselves in check knowing RoboOp is watching over the room. Otherwise, the chat room can unnerve me when two or three people judge someone who isn't exactly going with the flow of things. I usually log off because it's too sad to watch someone struggling to explain themsevles when a verdict is already placed against them.
