RuneScape talk:Clan Chat/Requests for CC Rank

Closure...for now
I believe there are more than enough ranked people in the chat now. Every time I visit the chat (which is every day), there are at least 3 ranked users, and occasionally I see that ranked users far outnumber unranked users. Should we close these requests for now until we need more ranked users? 17:19, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Earlier today I was the sole ranked user in the CC: however, it was barely a 5 minute period before more ranks logged on/joined (though somewere corporals that can't kick anyway, at the moment =/). Let the current requests go through (including Lewa's), then close it. No more requests should be opened.
 * On a related note, Vex's request needs to be closed - I would do it but an uninvolved admin should do it. 17:29, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. 22:52, 17 May 2009 (UTC)


 * There are two more requests. o.O Any thoughts on whether we should close them or let them through?  17:33, 24 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep them open until the current ones are done, then close it =D 00:24, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

I second that -- 00:26, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Time Zones
I think we have more than enough ranked users in America and areas in similar time zones. I live in Australia, and I find that often when I come home and play RS, there are not many people in the CC, sometimes none. This is because most of the people living in America are asleep (however, when I play in the mornings, the CC is often packed with 5+ ranked people). Thus I feel a need to focus on choosing people who live in Australia, Asia, New Zealand or somewhere with a similar time zone. 08:24, 20 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't think timezones should really be a major factor in selecting ranked users. This seems very limiting, and the point of having a ranked user at all times is great, but if worse comes to worse, you can just hit "Ignore" and add said user to your list, blocking all of his text inputs. Just my two cents. -- 23:28, 20 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Timezones shouldn't determine whether a person gets a rank or not. Per Chaos Monk. 18:32, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Only it's all editors are equal regardless of location?
 * 2. People can lie about their time zone, and IP addresses don't always tell the truth. Butterman62 (talk) 23:10, 23 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I meant to say shouldn't... STUPID TYPOS!!!!!!! 03:52, 24 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh, okay. Nevermind then. :) Butterman62 (talk) 03:56, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm not saying that. I'm saying we should try to get more people in this particular time zone. Currently, requests have been closed as there are 'more than enough ranked users' but I find in my time zone there are often no ranked users. If anything, it's the closing of this that is against AEAE. What's with that? 03:03, 30 May 2009 (UTC)



Here is a screenshot of the clan chat taken at 5:12 pm East Australian time on Sunday, the 31st of May. As you can see, the chat has lots of people in it but no admins. It is usually like this, only less crowded. Occasionally Jediadam or Caleb are on, but this image still reinforces my point that we should unprotect this page. 07:19, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Soldier came right after. 07:28, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Whatever, but the point still stands that there are often no ranked users with the clan chat in this time zone. 17:49, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * During this period, exactly how many times was a kick needed? 20:55, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * None, but C00l Dud4 wanted to kick me for reasons I find really sad. "You're not a wikian so we can kick you". Pathetic. -- 20:59, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Are you talking about when you spammed the chat yesterday with "@@@@@@@@" a dozen times pretending that you had just got a visage drop?? To me it would have been tempting to kick you if I had the powers. You totally disrupted the conversation because of the mass amount of @@@s and kept on spamming even when people asked you to stop. Plus you didn't actually get a visage drop and was spamming for the sake of it.
 * Also to what Gaz said, the point is not that nobody needed to be kicked, it is that someone had the potential to kick if it was necessary. It is like a safety precaution, with it being better to have one just encase and not use it rather then not having one and needing it. I didn't mean allude it to condoms, it just seemed the best way to explain it.
