Tell me ur Experience in chat room PLZ!! :)

First times i log in there, I used to ask about topics being discussed, but not anymore because people just talk about various things.
Yes, I have asked this before, can we have some special rooms, let say, for 10-20, 20-30, and so on..
Sometimes Im lost in conv with those youth... not that I hate it. But I find it interesting when you're talking to people without knowing them, yet you just feel comfy about it.
So far, there's no talk/person that insultd me, Im afraid, it's me who would insult some people, hope not, just tell me .

ok no i didnt i just reread it. >_>

sis susi lawati  may i mention what a beautiful name that is? why has it taken me more than a year to find out what it is!?!?

 about the chat.. to be honest with you I havent been in the chatroom for over two months now  i kinda miss it. but i think it would be interesting to actually have activities going ON there, not just plain talking and stuff.. i mean not that I'm antisocial or anything lool. no idk i used to go in and either a) not know anyone but no one is talking to begin with. or b) get in there and get LOST in the conversation hahah.

^_^ i dont think i answered your question did i lol

no topics, but certain people

Wa Alaikum Salaam Sie . Mostly my experience in chat has been positive. Though I'm hardly in there anymore. But when I do pop in there it's usually a cool atmosphere. Once in a while there are convos I just can't relate to or feel annoyed by (like judging other's faith/practice). Oh and yes I do still miss shoutbox, good times!

just keep in mind that any random six year-old can simply click on '67' as a selection of their age.

As salamu'alaikum,

First thing first: BELATED EID MUBARAK SIE!

To me, it's not so much about the underage people taking over the chatroom -although I've to admit I feel weird, at times, when I happen to be in the chatroom and a weird convo going on spoken with a weird slang and I swear the slang isn't even close to the word 'cool' at all. It's really corny.

Anyway, it's really much about how people treat others there. For example, there's this brother who used to answer my salaam. But now he has stopped answering my salam, not that I care of, ever since he witnessed me talking to another person who may not fit in his 'league'. I know he'd give me the answer that it's alright not to answer one's salam when you happen to be in one group. I'm fine with that. But it's just funny how he used to answer my salam with many people around and all of a sudden he stopped. Something surely smells fishy, it's time to open the windows to let the stink odor out don't you think?

And another thing that bugs me the most is how people won't talk to others they don't know, and once the people they know happen to be in the chatroom, they'll talk to each other and ignore the rest that it gives the feeling that they're dominating the chatroom. Now, I perfectly understand that not every single member on MS knows each other, and I absolutely understand if they can only relate to those they're comfortable with. But seriously people, give others a chance will ya? At least try to give salam and ask how others doing although you've no idea who the heck they are. But yeah I think if you're not a social butterfly at all, then to stay quiet is probably the best idea. I guess it's just me who's always the curious one that I won't stop butting in to others' convo. I apologize for that, not that I regret it

What else... Oh I think the regulation in the chatroom regarding the used languag

its not a issue of young people its a issue of people that are too young, what purpose does a person under 16 have talking on a website to people over there age its quite a prediciment there are bad people everywhere, muslimspace does a good job of policing there site, but this site should be stricter on chat content , we need discipline and structure for our youth, not a anarchtic enviroment, our younger people are our future and if we do not shape them to there full potential then we as a ummah will surely fail in our initiatives, younger teens should have there own room, so that people who wish not to talk about subjects that dont better ourselves are not driven away, its not realy the sites fault its individual , there should be more older moderaters so that at all times its a strict islamic envirment , and to m1234 aka mohammed of course u guys always do well , the site has gone through a lot of change its understandable that some social things also have changed and im proud to say muxlim has always done a good job of booting people that dont follow the rules, and always has been strict on content, its a good site and im hopefull to see its future and also the changes to come

i think i should stand up for the youth bashing considering that in islamic terms you are a youth well into your 40's.The problem that i have been having is there needs to be like a topic or dicussion that everyone could talk about, in other words, its too quiet. Other than that i got no problems with it and the insulting i have yet to see.

Salam Alakum,

i think the chat room caters for both already, it just depends on what time u actually log on.

Though i agree with the older members on general being mature, i must confess its not always the case, so its important to consider both situations, plus having teens on the page is a plus as they can learn from older muslims.

Overall the chat room is interesting. On a personal note i learnt alot alhamdulilah, so i rather have other muslim teens there and act all childlish than go somehwhere else not so safe, just to leave the chat room for "older members".

One thing that really ticks me off is the language used in the chatroom...the insults thrown across, the verbal abuses, the swear words used freely( even if someone pointed out the rediculous behaviour of some people) some people are getting innovative with breaking the barrier of using swear words by sprinkling them with spaces to avoid getting it detected by the chat program. and of course susi it happens when you are not around and yeah I agree, there is a lack of mature people in there.

Fi Amanillah

As-salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuIt definitely has been taken over by the teens but, there are times that you can get in and have more mature conversations...maybe if there was an additional room for the kiddos, it might help!
