No chat admin or moderators makes 6.1.1 a usless piece of crap

I agree 100%

Rightly said sammie.
What i personally feel is that Boonex is trying to add those features to Dolphin, which we don't need that much, earlier than the most required ones. For instance, the groups in Dolphin are still the same with few features. Even after so many request from people, moderator and poll system has not been added to it. If you have a look over the groups at orkut, you can see that after the feature of moderator, they have also added co-owner feature. There are many other extra features like news feeds for groups. But our dolphin is still moving with the traditional groups.

The second example is that of Scrapbook. boonex had promised long time back at boonex.org that they will definately add Scrapbook to 6.1 , but they have not implemented it yet. We need such a feature to increase website activities.

There many other such examples which show that Dolphin is quite behind its aim. Though dolphin has so many features, site admin does not have complete control over them. If we want to remove a feature, we've to do that manually by editting the code which leads to various problems when we've to upgrade to new version of dolphin.
I would request boonex to first work on the main features like scrapbook n then add small features. Now dont say that mods are available at expertzzz. Thats not a complete solution. There is a plenty of difference between works of expertzzz n boonex team because the latter develops it keeping in mind the future dolphin and so it doesnt cause any problem during upgrade.
Please hear us boonex.

Let me put this in perspective.
i own a lesbian site, it has Dolphin 6.0.0005 running.
we have had 228 people register (103 this month) for the site, we verify the gender of all members, i.e. no men allowed to join. Lesbian means women only.
but perverted men have flooded other lesbian cam chat sites with fake female accounts, in the hope of gaining sexual cam chat or sexual chat to jack off to the thought of a lesbian talking sexually to them. my site is the only lesbian website that verifies the gender of all our members and tags their profiles as verified.

of the 228 that registered:
110 are fully verified females
34 are still to be verified
84 men registered and failed the verification.
thats 84 males acting as females to sexually abuse my members and myself.
84 that needed to be kicked from the chat room.

84 perverts i can no longer get rid of if i update my site to 6.1.1.

sorry i find this totally unacceptable and this is also the reason i believe ip lookup is also important to Dolphin, as it is an adult cam chat, it is important to give us the tools to prevent sexual predators from joining the sites and sexually abusing our members.

I'm again wid u...that means some day boonex can launch a version which won't have groups :-)

the sad thing is, that the way dolphin sites are now, you have to log out from the site and into the moderator page to do the little you can, and the little you can change as a moderator is really not any help to the site admin.

a site owner/admin wants to setup the site and appoint others to share the workload, i have way to much to be doing than to sit on my site 24/7 and do everything that others cant do.

you shouldnt have to login with a different account, one account should be enough to access everything and still post as a normal user

Sammie,

I agree with you..

Were are you hosting the RMS ??

I am not at my office at the moment, but I am wondering if its possible to place a filter for "failed profiles" attached to the access.dat file, and will deny the connections.

By all means this would NOT be a solution for longterm, but I would think for the short term it could be ok.

I do need to look at it a bit more, but when a users enters any widget based section, the RMS servers get the USERID with the request, so I just need to look to see how to "fail" the ones in a list.

Thoughts ?

Couldn't agree with you more on that one. When i had problems with Ray last year, i looked at other possibilities.

Chat was pretty much the only widget i had active and there are plenty of alternatives, including writing your own. Total control, plus no ads etc :)

If you ban unwanted members from dolphin admin side...how can they enter your chat room?
Or you want to keep fakeonse so the real ones think there is "something for them"???
Just keep it clean and dedicated, ban all men and you will be good.

while on the subject of suspending accounts on the main admin/moderator page, when you suspend an accout, they can remain on the site and use all the services as long as they do not logout,
there should be an action call to logout suspended accounts when you hit save settings on the profile you suspended

Hmmm, I didn

Hm, after imagining my self in that situation...maybe this is what I would try to do....go to admin/ plugin/ray/ a/vchat...disable it for few minutes...I asume all loged in members would get kicked out...
then if you wrote down who those male mebers are, justdelet their accounts... it they keep signing in, report tem to their account host...yahoo, gmail...
I assume if you disable then enable chat.. all users in the chat woudnt be able to stay in... once activated...the room would be empty and real users would join in...
another option....make 1 private room...no members can make chat rooms...and all approved females, would get private pass from you...

I agree, this was one of many oversights. The upgrade deleted all of my comments and more. Very unprofessional.

well i refuse to upgrade my main site until the issues are dealt with,

I posted this in the Ray forum and the Dolphin forums at Expertzzz... but didn't get any valid responses, so I'm reposting here to join the crowd...

Where did the Ray Chat Admin functionality go? The new 3.5 (I'm using paid, Ad-Free version), unless I've overlooked something doesn't have an Admin feature anymore.

Not having an Admin feature basically makes Ray chat unusable. This makes it impossible to monitor the room and ensure trouble makers don't roll in and verbally abuse people, or worse.

What did I pay for... something I can't use? There wasn't even any mention of this before I upgraded.

Has anybody actually heard from Boonex yet... what's the official word on this?

Thanks!

Danny

i must agree with you admin interice is not there well bad i am not buying dolphin and chat for a while untill that system comes back i am new anyway

Sammie,

What idiot is giving all these EXCELLENT posts a thumbs down and/or negative???

Doesn't make sense!

Admin control is an absolute must and otherwise (as you said) is USELESS!!!
