Very cool.
VMK_Lion came into the room of a player who lost his stuff.
He muted the room and none of us could speak. So Lion was there talking to us with nobody respoding.. VERY nice tool VMK!

Maybe this tool has just not been used before. Do you have pictures?

Whoah! The staff woke up from their how many months nap? WooHoo! I've always liked Lion. It's a good idea because it doesn't allow others to interfere with the chat between the two.

There was nothing to take a picture of apart from Lion saying things with nobody else talking.. :|

THEY DONT, GET OVER IT.

This Is a very useful tool to Staff but did VMK_Lion say that he/she (don't know) used the muting tool?

I've seen this before about 3 months ago, in a room that said "We need better staff"

I know it's been used before.

I think fin did it in one of her games, I cant exactly remember.

I like this new tool, so now nobody can be talking while he is speaking, I think it is a good idea to make sure EVERYONE hears what the Staff has to say.

That's not exactly new. That happened to me last year during Christmas. LOL I was talking to my friends and the staff came in and said: Are you done talking yet? -- Because we were all doing faces like 0_0 -- So, she told us she was muting us (I tried talking, and couldn't) and then she explained something... and then she said we could speak again.

Yavn said he would be "revamping" the moderation system. Hopefully this will take care of some of the current issues.

Go VMK_Lion! (If only we could do that to, but then there will be people overdoing it.)

Guys just remember, VMK is run by Disney but built on a Sulake server, (ya know kinda like Habbo Hotel) Habbo Hotel has had the tool for a while and it's called "The Tool" if I remember correctly. IF it is the same, it consists of: Ban User, Alert User, Boot User, Boot Room, and Room Alert


Anyway, good to know that VMK still has traces back to Sulake, so I'm not going crazy ;)

I don't see how this proves that you're not going crazy. Please show your work. ;)

Haha, Leave it to you to prove I'm gonig crazy. But fine..

MY WORK:
Sulake Runs Habbo Hotel
Habbo Hotel has a staff tool (We know from "Habbo Retros")
Their staff can mute a room, or a single individual
VMK is also basedoff of Sulake's work
VMK has a staff tool now
Putting it all together I would imagine that since Sulake designed both of the games' major concepts, VMK would have close to the same (if not the same) staff tool as Habbo

So there.. Haha, I have waaay too much time on my hands :rolleyes:

I'm guessing it's somewhat based off the Ignore button (or vice versa).

Even if it's not new, that's a great idea.(Great Job Staff)I know some of the online games I play that definetly need that option.

This is not a new staff tool, the staff have had the ability to stop chat for a while. The other night it was used on everyone in club33 because the HOST wanted to say the directions of the game we were going to play without his word bubbles being pushed up so fast you could not read them.

Destination
05-25-2007, 04:01 AM
oh yeah, yesterday when i went to a club33 party we were about to do trivia and HOST_Lily and HOST_Sparky muted us it was so coo! and then the trivia questions poped up on the screen and were sent as a pm

This idea was on another VMK fansite also. I guess they have been using it for a while now, whoever thought of it first! :Tongue:

That's an awesome staff tool! Glad they are starting to think logically now (I'm not past that stage yet.).

P.S. Off topic: Let me see if this works >_<.

Ok so i am currently in a quest room with about 10 other people..

we are trying to figure out an answer but its not going over to well..

anyways...

all of the sudden.

it was completely silent

i couldn't say anything at ALL

i could request friends and walk around but NOBODY could talk..

it lasted for about two minutes and then all of the sudden we could talk again

i could type stuff in and press enter but nothing came out,,,

any ideas why this happened..

it happened to evryone in the room not just me.. it was CRAZY

That's weird. . .perhaps someone in the room said something inapproapriate? I don't really know exactly. It could just be a bug, or a doing of the VMK staff. Did you report the problem? The staff could probably explain it better than I can.

Astrogoldstar
08-04-2007, 09:40 PM
That is called lag/freeze.

it happens when there is to many things happening in the room.

And yes i know what im talking about, it happens to me all the time. Normally when that happens quite a few ppl crash :D

Orangemarker
08-04-2007, 09:40 PM
I've heard of VMK staff being able to do this before. Did you see any staff?

PowerGirl

I don't think you read it correctly. She said she could walk and send friend requests, and that is happened to EVERYONE in room, which lag does not often do, if at all.

falloutswimmr
08-04-2007, 09:41 PM
nope i didn't see any staff at all..

and nobody said anything bad either..

weird

Mintypal

I Know... I Did Read It Right. That is a weird type of lag, which most ppl crash on @_@...

BlazinBeats
08-04-2007, 09:42 PM
^ But it also happened to everyone in the room. If you have lag or you freeze, You can't see anybody else's movements, or get friend requests, because you're frozen. They could still interact, just to talking..

fallout, could you emote?

falloutswimmr
08-04-2007, 09:45 PM
yeah but nobody at all crashed after it was over..

we just were all like

what the heck happened

Probably just a bug or some serious lag.

haha yeah

im betting that we annoyed the vmk staff so much they just muted us

lol wow

Staff have options to do things to an entire room, such as silence and ban. They probably silenced the room on accident, or if someone brought up a controversial subject.

falloutswimmr
08-04-2007, 10:05 PM
haha either accident or annoyance

because we were doing a quest

nothing contraversial lol ;)

monkeyfunkychunky
08-04-2007, 10:08 PM
Most likely an accident. I prefer the old go in the room and yell "I CAN'T READ THAT FAST, PLEASE TYPE LESS" You know, with all the lag and super fast typing... Haha.
(Just a joke...)

Whipstersh
08-04-2007, 10:20 PM
It is either one of two answers:

1. You were muted my VMK staff.
2. As AstroGoldStar posted, there is a type of lag where words freeze, because two people presses the "enter" key at the same time and the game is trying to read which one to show up first. This happens alot in pirates, if someone says something, right as the game is supposed to end, then it just sits there for a few seconds, while all the other words go up into " The Speech Bubble Sanctuary In The Sky." :)

This happened to me about a day ago. Me and my friend were talking about our school's orientation (I know her in real life) and we weren't able to speak for about 5 minutes. This was right after we recieved a warning from staff for revealing personal information, so maybe somebody else in the room said something inappropriate, so they muted all of you.

falloutswimmr
08-04-2007, 10:25 PM
yes it has happened to me before that when someone else says something bad we get a warning and then we cannot talk

however none of us got an warning..

GoodPolarGirl
08-04-2007, 10:33 PM

StitchMad thats a really cute cat you have in your signature.

Anyways, I always liked VMK_Lion. Hes so sweet. I met him once in the pirate treasure room. Thats a pretty cool feature of people not being able to speak.
