| Apr 30, 2010 at 16:21 | comment | added | Ivo Flipse Mod | I do like the idea to hook this up to a more global portal, you could redirect 'friends' to questions they might like and show what questions/answers you've posted all over the Stack Exchange/SOFU. The way @Jeff suggests the chatroom thing right now it kind of lacks structure and relationship with the site itself. So +1 for me! | |
| Apr 30, 2010 at 15:46 | comment | added | Grace Note StaffMod | @tvan There are ways to control who can access a room in IRC. Having never been a part of Facebook, I can only assume that FB is far more finetuned in the ability to set these, but that isn't to say IRC is completely bare on that front. Many times I am part of a subset of the main room, and only those few of us are allowed to access it. If we don't prevent an obnoxious fellow from coming in in the first place, we can certainly be rid of him. And judging from the Campfire video, there is also a similar enough method for allowing permissions on rooms. | |

IRC, and Campfire, don't offer anything other than "choose to participate or not". In that environment, the obnoxious people win. When I control who I interact with, I win. | |
| Apr 30, 2010 at 15:21 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood StaffMod | you'd generally be in the "room" of your choosing, with people in that room that you want to be there. Not sure why there's such deep misunderstanding on how this works. | |
