Advice on running discussion board/chatroom/forum

Why are you doing this? What is your end goal for this server? If its just to talk with people in game then make private channels in the server for mature people, and being mature also means not leaving when stuff like that happens not just the people saying it. I dont get how people get offended that hard and I feel bad for most people that act like that yelling slurs thinking its hilarious, they wont get that far in life

if you're in charge of your server, moderate it. if you want the pussies to stay, you gotta placate them, and frankly i dont think its 'pussy' to get annoyed with someone constantly yelling 'NIGGER' over a mic. thats not remotely the same thing.

Take a step back and consider the fact that you're genuinely concerned over the general "vibe" of your online chatroom.

Go outside, dude.

>>18400071
You're right. But I thought it would get my point across. I have members that go quiet and leave chat because someone else said some obscure thing that has offended them.

>>18400078

like i said, if you want the pussies to stay, you gotta placate them. if they dont like someone coming in and screaming nigger, the nyou gotta decide who is more important, those pussies or those nigger staters.

I guess that's cool, but I'm the administrator, and we usually have a really good time, and people are drawn to it because of that specific vibe. It's a place where people actually go to make friends and hang out on the internet. Where else do you actually go to do that anymore?

Are you saying that it's just not a worthwhile endeavor in the first place?

Outside, in the real world. You being serious dude?

>>18400062
>How the fuck do I make a space on the internet where people can just hang out and have a good time?
In a space that small, you can't actually be inclusive to everyone.
If people are causing trouble or being shitters, you need to kick them out. Failing to do that is the same as kicking out everyone who's NOT a shitter.

Okay, well I work a night shift job, and haven't made a new friend in real life in ten years. I make threads asking how to make friends in adulthood all the time, and none of that shit works.

You can make me out to be a basement dwelling loser all you want, but I do get out and I've tried. It's apparently just not in the cards for me.

Despite that sad situation, do you have any advice regarding my original topic?

>>18400114
Moderate and enforce rules. Kick ppl and throw the ban hammers at them. I get that you really want the room to be chill and cool, ya know where ppl can come in and relax and feel welcome. On the other side of that some people will try and take advantage of that and go in the room stirring up a bunch of crap. With those ppl you have to become The Man dude and start kicking them out.

>haven't made a new friend in real life in ten years.

Ok, this is your problem right here not your chatroom. Forget your chatroom, dude. You need to get a life.

>Despite that sad situation, do you have any advice regarding my original topic?

Yes, toss your computer in a fucking lake and go to a concert or something.

>>18400109
Exactly.

>Despite that sad situation, do you have any advice regarding my original topic?
It doesn't really sound any more complicated than "you have a nice community, antisocial dipshits try and gatecrash it occasionally". If that's the case, I don't see why you don't just kick/ban them. The faster you get rid of them, the less damage they can do.

>go to a concert or something
Yeah, that's a good way to make friends right there.
>Awkwardly stand in a crowd of drunk teens and millennials listening to shitty hipster music

I've tried making friends. It's not easy to do once you get out of college. I go to work every day and the community arts center, I get involved in my community and do stuff on a daily basis. Still haven't made any friends though.
