Last week in a meeting, I asked whether there was any plans for music station to be attached to this site. Given the site is as new as it is, and there are many other things to deal with of more importance, there are no plans for this, So, I asked about other forms of music, and was told that youtube links could be possible, as in general the site is deemed reasonably safe.
This was then discussed by the YaH mods as to best way forward with this because, the implications leave us with a very difficult and arduous task which i am sure some chatters will not have even thought about.
Some evenings we've had over 100 chatters in the room. if just 30 just upload even 6 links per hour that's 180 links per hour, that's one every 20 seconds average, ALL of which have to be checked because, though we might say youtube is ok, fact is any link can and will be slipped in amid them and any one of them could be CHILD PORN or other forms of NASTIES Add a few rogue visitors to the mix and the number of links will be impossible. This does not take into account room is open 24/7.
We asked the room on several occasions over 3 days at various times of the day and evening, their views and to vote on music and links. The result was very very surprising.
The result was unanimous...........
Chatters did NOT want links posted into the room and flooding the screen.
Chatters said they didn't mind a "small number" of links.
A few chatters said they did not want music at all.
The majority of chatters said they did want music
A few said themed evenings
Many asked for ability to make requests.
It is impossible for us to limit postings to a "small amount" If we let one in, we have to let them all in. and that simply isnt workable.
So we found a solution:-----one that solved ALL the above and devised away around this. We have set up a DJ system which is almost in place. This will give all chatters who want to listen to music, to be able to make requests, and to listen to what others request, the ability to do so in a manner which SOLVES the issue of flooding the screen and for us having to open every link posted in order for us to maintain the safety security and of course the integrity of both room and site in general.
Last week several people indicated they wanted try out to be a DJ for certain time slots, and these are in process of being sorted. We do have a few more potential slots available if anyone wants to have a go. ... Just pm one of the mods or myself in the YaH room and we put your name on the list.
If we are able to do this,in the format we have worked out, it should be a terrific addition to our room, and what you can get out of being there,
The whole project is of course subject to a few not ruining it for the many.
We appreciate that not every single YaH chatter was reached during the wide voting we did, so maybe those of you who didn't get to vote, or have re-thought about it might like to leave constructive thoughts and comments here.
Thanks for reading this.
