    This function was used to send spam messages and ads.

    I can understand Nippur asking the quesiton. The AChat game window is too big to have a website open next to it so that retyping would be easy. Now you have to switch from the game window to the internet window. And, unfortunately, this doesn't go very quick I understand how inconvenient this is.
    And, to be honest, imagine how much this hinders spammers and scammers? I'd rather have them having trouble with sending a lot of messages then you being able to copy and paste because your english isn't great. This is a typical case of where the 'good guys' suffer from the bad guys. So it's a choice that had to be made and I can understand why they made this one.
    The choice for a better experience of AChat through trying to minimize scam and spam and not considering the people who use a translator to have a better experience on Achat is also partly an economical decision I imagine (phew, what a long sentence…). The majority of members is from english-speaking countries (or where english is at a high level because of education). So they will listen sooner to their complaints because they bring in more income.

    Is't  possible disable only paste into achat windows? With only copy (CTRL-C) from achat windows nobody can make spam….

    What's the use of just being able to copy and not paste?

    He can copy the words, the friend is writing and paste them to translator. It's not the best, but a bit easier.

    I think that is very inconvinient to use AChat without Copy&Past function. My English is not good and i always chating with help of translator, but now i can't do this. Nobody wants to wait while i'm retyping my messages from translator window to AChat. I'm Premium user, i have payed money for comfortable chating but now i'm deprived this ability. I think that it's not correct. I'm the one of  hundred or maybe even thousands who suffering from this. It must be another way to solve the problem of spam. Please switch on Copy&Past function, we can't chating without it.

    Which raises the question, could cut and paste be another premium perk. It's doubtful premiums would spam, and if so they could be reported and found much easier.

    Janine Dee, good idea. I agree!

    I don't agree Janine. It should be available for both prems as non prems or noone. The exclusivity should be in the action, not the way people connect, get interested in AChat and become premiums.

    I'm with TightFit. You also punish prem members if you give only them the possibility for c&p.

    Well at this point no one has it. I'm just suggesting a way it could come back without unleashing a wave of spammers.

    Anyway, canceling of Copy&Past function isn't best way of solving the problem of spam, because it limits ability of hundreds people connect with each other normaly. Many people had payed money for comfortable chating but in result can't get it. I repeat, that it's not correct.

    I agree with both Janine and MrMonro that it's not the greatest solution they came up with and that a lot of people are hindered broadening their horizon. I think that's a big shame.
    For the moment though, they are trying to have AChat as accessible as possible for as many people as possible. If we want unrestricted chat possibilities, we should expect a (much) higher fee for the service. In order to stop scams and spams, moderators will have to be hired and, especially in a field like this, labour costs make up the majority of costs needed to run an operation like this.
    So the question, i think, is: do we want to pay more and have a better experience/service, or do we enjoy the low fees and accept not being able to use all technical possibilities of a text-program…
