Help Make A Safe Chat Room?
I asked this same question without a response, im hoping that I placed it in the wrong area, so am posting it again here.
We started a safe chat room, it was invaded by sexually orientated people. The chat site was a standard one, with a contract of 2 years. It lasted less than a month.
What were looking for is any help in controlling who can use the chat site, any ideas of how to make it a better place to be, more fun, easy to use Etc.
What we have learned is the mods need to be able to trace individuals IP’s, to check if there using a proxy. Video chat with room users to determine if they are who they claim to be. A instant report button in privates, we had some disputes, with both parties pasting “ALMOST” the same convo, so we cant rely on people copying what happened without changing the copy before pasting it. There for a button that copies every thing in the private to a file for a mod to examine. A sin bin, some people just don’t get along with each other, but don’t necessarily break any rules, so a place away from the main chat room they could be locked into for a few minutes to calm down, or talk with a mod, instead of just kicking / banning them.
If any one can offer any other advice / help we would be great full thank you.
We are currently have a custom chat room programed.

knowing ip's makes no difference, there is no way to control a chat room other than selection, only allowing people you know face to face into a chat room is the only real way to protect the users, that's why they are not so popular any more. people grew wise to tricks.
even if you can see the person in a webcam chat it does not mean that's the person you are talking to, its easy to get a pre-recording of someone and pretend to be that person
Chatting online is never safe no matter what precautions you think you have taken

I must consider different respondents right here. Its' an unlucky and annoying reality that even as the Internet is usually a useful software as good as funtastic medium which must be capable for use accurately by means of any one, there are the ones sickos in the market who most effective wish to make use of it a automobile to fulfill their possess ill demands. I'd propose you permit your eleven 12 months historic to make use of chat rooms most effective when you in my opinion examine them out. Then recommendation your little one that once they're in a talk room they have to first get your permission and so they realize you're going to stroll in on them at any time.
