    Dude... is that another english celebration? I'm out!

     

    ha! True that. We need more culture.  I mean, culture from diverse places.

     

    Maybe in the next years we can explore other cultures, not repeatedly use the All Saints' Eve context / background as theme.

     

    Mexico got the "day of the death" but it's really close to Halloween (still deserves a spot)

    Brazil got a lot of myths too, check them out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_mythology

     

    Maybe wikipedia can help us learn more about other cultures from different countries (sry)

  2. Trusting on guests to send any link on the main chat...  that would be too dangerous in my opinion.

    As it already is with them transmitting scam / phishing links through private chats ... 

     

    I'd say that the LINK group power exists exactly for this type of need. 

    Want to allow guests to use links? Assign link power, set your predefined link(s) and let them use it.

     

    I like @LaFleur's whitelist idea because it's util for social media sharing. 

    Main owners would be able to allow youtube linking, imgur, postimage, twitter, facebook, vimeo etc.

     

    But allowing guests to send any link at all, it would be a risk that I wouldn't take on my chat.

     

    Now, re-using your gcontrol idea... 

    There could be an option to determine which "rank-type" can use the white-listed links, e.g.

    [Guests to use whitelist]: (Subscribers only), (Registered only), (All users).

    wtf but then everyone would CHEAT on xat dot com slash contests and copy ALL of the sentence in typerace! lol


    NO :'(

    If in a future, on html5, users get allowed to  copy of our messages...

    This is certainly an issue to type races :@

    I think that having a feature, maybe free or subscriber only or as a power (up to xat staff)
    A feature to protect the user's messages / change the message space

    You can do this if you use ALT + 255 is your spaces


    In this case, using Paul's idea I think there can be changes now (in flash), and later (for html5).

     

    While on Flash, 

    xat would implement predefined macros allowing users to opt between their spaces, i.e.
     

    $msgspace=0 

    $msgspace=1

    0 => wont copy (xat standard message, each word/part separated), 1 => allows to copy (alt +255, can copy entire message)

     

    When on HTML5, the predefined macro would be re-added but in different oreder

    0 => allows to copy (alt +255), 1 => wont copy (xat standard message)
     

    Note: in these examples, 0 would be always the default to all users.

    • Flash: Help mods can set $msgspace=1 and make help easier 
    • Flash: Traders can set $msgspace=1 and price multiple prices at once faster
    • HTML5: A feature to allow users to protect their messages/texts (useful for typerace)

     

    If it doesn't take much it would be nice to see this feature added on Flash (I mean, right now)

    Depending on how the macro is used on flash, it could be then re-implemented (on HTML5).

     

    Typeraces matter :$

  4. Stealth mode for permanent moderators?

    giphy.gif

     

    A function power allowing owners to go on stealth is definitely something we need. 

     

    Lets say the power is named UNSEEN. This power would be required if a moderator wanted to go on stealth.

     

    But the chat has to set the stealth mode for moderators too. 

    Having it that way, means the main owner can control who is using the stealth mode. 

     

    Imagine an option within GCONTROL: Stealth Mode: [+Moderators/+Temp. Owners/+Owners/+Main] 

    Default is set to +Temp. Owners

     

    If changed to "+Moderators", then the moderators will need UNSEEN power and will be able to go on stealth.

     

    I see this as an utility for chat moderation. So I can't see a need for members to go on stealth.

  5. Hello,

     

    At first, thank you for using the service. ;)

     

    Please pay attention as I'll try to be as clear as possible: Encryption is not allowed.

    xatRadio.com will not approve any material that has encrypted content in it.

     

    We can suggest you to use your developer watermark for protection (if you have any)

    Also you can try using alternative structure of codes, to differ from other player makers.

     

    Regarding your server protection, this is responsibility of your hosting provider.

    If you are concerned about your server protection you can ask your host support about how to improve your server security.

     

    For users to listen to your radio server or your customer's radio, they require the server IP.

    Any method of encryption will not work completely as the listener's machine will obtain the IP.

     

    People can listen to your radio only if they have your radio IP

     

    I'm trying to point out that adding encryption to the IP addresses wont really help to protect your IP.

    Because the listener is able to read your IP even if encrypted.

     

    The encrypted code would attempt a connection to the radio server which reveals the server address to the listener's machine.

    So by any means, it's technically impossible to fully hide your server IP. 

     

    Also, please understand that our biggest concern while handling xatRadio stuff is their security.

    We examine the entire code before it is approved, and by encrypting any part of it, you violate our rules.

    We will not allow any type of encryption as the safety concern is our top priority

    (and 2nd priority is to approve your players as soon as possible ;))

     

    Thank you for reading this long text. 

    Here's xatRadio logo, just the end this post with style.

  6. (Zoomix) sounds like a good idea.

    In my opinion, if the power is a series of other smiley powers (as lovemix power), it should be named a mix.

     

    It would work better if you suggested what face expressions you want to add (considering the existent ones, to avoid duplication).

    For an example: Giraffe has a lot of faces except a maniac giraffe laughing, let's have that added then.

     

    Try to think of what the animal powers don't have, so you can think of what you would like to see added. 

    Then (zoomix) could become a solid idea. Instead of listing existent faces, you will think of new ones.

     

    PS I would like to keep the name (ZOO) reserved for a power. Imagine zoo keeper themed power (yellow smilies!)

  7. I say (OPACITY) power, and make it for smilies too e.g. (d#op#w44) has 44% opacity 

     

    You'd also be able to use it on a selected part of the smiley e.g. (d#flip#ffffff#still#op#w90)  Flip 90% opacity

     

    Bonus functions allow you to change the opacity from Nameglow and Statusglow (maybe from 1 to 9) -1ri9sthSeKrZ4inL74DsQ.png 

    e.g. (glow#000001#op#w2) and $status=Ban 'em all #ffffff#000001#op#w2

     

    As for (BLUR), that could be another power :o

  8. Just now, Lunala said:

    Or xat could release hats with flags of the country on that days for a limited time. (1 week?) 

     

     

    That's a good idea and it's already used by xat. Just not as often as they should use it.

    I can remember the Romanian pawn being added last year.

     

    But I meant I'd like to see powers that tell the same story which independence.png (independence) does.

     

    For an example, songkran.png (songkran) celebrates the Thai new year, where egyptian.png (egyptian) is a Egyptian-themed smiley power.

     

    I think independence powers are supposed to tell the story of the country, or at least a bit of it.

    Some may argue that the (egyptian) power is enough for Egyptian-related content. Some may say the same for (songkran).

     

    For an example for the independence (USA) smilies, we've smilies holding flags. For the others two, there's not a single flag.

    Except by their smiley back which resembles the flag colors.
