TerryLasVegas, that's where the "report user" feature would come in. Even if they created the room, you'd still be able to report them.

No, it would be separate from the games. However, this does raise a tricky point about where on the site we place the chat window so you can continue to chat while you browse around the site.

It should be like the gmail chat, in the corner somewhere, it should be able to be moved around and you should have the ability to change the size.

There will be a clan system in AG3. Discuss it in the appropriate sticky.

are there going to be private chatrooms?  is there a filter?  will private, if any, conversations be monitored?

Whether we have private chat rooms or password-protected rooms will depend on which chat engine we use. Regardless of private/password status, all users will have the ability to report the other user, which will probably share the entire conversation with a moderator or admin to deal with it.

that would be cool but i think you should be able to talk to like one of the friends you have.a mod could come and see when ever they wanted.

I like the idea of chat rooms for AG3. But what about making it a little like Kongregate. Such as AG creating the chat rooms, then assigning certain users as chat moderators. Not sure if AG will do that, though, because of the whole argument 'if you can trust them with some moderator powers, then why not make them a full moderator' Well, it'll be different. They'll only be able to kick/ban people from the chat room.

We don't know yet if the chat will be Flash based, Java based, or something else.

I'd prefer flash, because I tend to turn javascript off sometimes when playing certain flash games so that I don't have lag.

I didn't really clarify their system over there. (Can't wait for edit button if there's going to be one.) Well, on Kongregate they have chat moderators, then forum moderators. They have certain moderators assigned to each sub-forum they have there(the difference with their forum and AG's forum is that they assign different moderators to each sub-forum, while on AG all the current moderators can mod in every sub-forum, which is good.) They make users chat room moderators for basically the same reasons why AG makes users moderators. Chat moderators can go into any chat and have moderator powers there, they can silence/ban people. I'm not sure if they can kick there, but implementing kicking as a chat feature on AG will be good so that you don't have to jump straight to a ban/silence. With AG, there should be chat moderators like how Kongregate has them, but with a kicking feature. So, on AG it'll be: Having forum moderators and chat room moderators.

If that idea gets shot down by an administrator, then here's another:
Just letting users be able to create their own chat room on AG, being able to only let your friends enter the chat, and able to let anyone into your chat room. You'll have control over your chat room, being able to kick/ban/silence people on the chat room. Some flaws that I see with this is that what if people decide to abuse power within the chat room? What if not a lot of people will go into certain chat rooms because the owner of the room doesn't like them?
With those, they can be solved by a moderator of AG. But that'll take up a lot of time and the AG moderators will have a lot of things to be worrying about - chat rooms and forums. There will be a lot of chat rooms created, so I don't know how AG will keep track of those all. That's why I'd prefer the first idea that I presented.
