Why I Haven't Subscribed to Ryzom Yet - English

FYI, the current Arispotle policy on universe chat is:
Universe chat is for Ryzom Q and A.

However, some chit-chat is allowed, provided it is Ryzom related, relevant and in English, does not degenerate into a monologue or is dominated by a small group of people. Also, when a player asks for help, unrelated chit-chat may not interfere with any answers, or 'drown out' the question.

I have screen shots showing a straight hour where *you* chatted non-stop with two or three others in Uni during this time.

Of course, no one asks questions in Uni any more because it's become nothing more than the chatter box for a few and the chatter doesn't drown out the questions, it has simply killed them altogether.

All I can say is that you clearly are not on at the same time I am. I see lots of questions in Uni, and lots of chatter, usually from a small group of people, who nonetheless manage to answer questions while continuing to chatter. I also see lots of time when there is no action at all -- hours of no action at all.

As Dainan points out, if you think the rules are being broken, the appropriate action is to take a screenie and file a ticket. You could also go on CeB and ask a CSR to look in and monitor the situation. That's what CSR's are for. If there is an actual rules violation in the opinion of the CSR you will see a sudden lack of talk from an individual as the CSR turns on the MUTE switch.

I agree that we should watch out for the health of the common area, but there are ways to do it that don't involve turning the Uni channel into a disputation.
