Title: The Busy Button: Put your revamp ideas here
Post by: Zinah on March 30, 2012, 03:03:29 PM
I'm starting this topic:


Be advised, this thread is not to discuss the validity of the button in it's current state, but presupposes the button needs improvement.

Game on!

Zinah, yes I'm a mod (for the support-board) - but most of all I'm a member of this forum and a "fan" of AChat :)

I like to add:
- Block all cold invites
- If using this button, the colour should not be yellow and it would be great to use an own text

There was so much passion in the initial thread.  I'm surprised that there isn't a huge list of ideas being tossed out left right and center.  Is the list already complete?

Except for the fact that no program can separate cold invites from regular ones I think you already covered pretty much everthing, but give it some more time, maybe someone will come up with more ideas  ;)

Medjai, I for myself say "Block cold invites". Of course, no system is able to differ cold from "hot"...lol.
It might be better to say "Block all invites", cause this is what I mean. Nobody is able to invite me as long as this state is set. When I want to accept an invite I have to switch off this state. On this way you can be sure to get an invitation from the one you're talking to.

Zinah, give some time. You started yesterday and now it's weekend :)

Think mine are about a variation of the same, just less buttons to press :)

1)  Accept all messages and cold invites --- Game on  hehe !!!
2)  Accept messages / invites from  listed Friends / Lovers / Spouse only

3)  Ignore everyone, invites and chat alike - change colour code from yellow - message  " AFK - Away From Keyboard "
4)  Ignore all invites - chat mode only from anyone.

5) Allow personalised text for blocked messages eg   "I'm with my spouse"   " I only room with my Spouse "  "  I'm having a bad day  GRRR .."   

Think that about covers it.  :)

 Have fun Folks ;)    xxx

I like the "yellow" for just general busy. i like the idea of keeping SOME outside ppl guessing if i'm rooming or not.

>>a "blue" light/ball for in the forum/shopping/AFK

>>a "ring through" option for spouse only, even if in room. (this would definitely make people discriminate more in selection of spice ((plural of spouse)) )

>>busy to all but friends/lovers/spouse

>>busy to males/females/shemales (select one or more)

I agree with the idea of adding a block for genders (like a button that says "Block selected sexes" and then checkboxes under it for Male, Female, Shemale)

For the person with the idea of blocking by language/country, the only way that would work is if the system was revamped for a pre-programmed drop down of countries with specific spellings....as it is you can have USA, United States, etc for country because each individual spells it differently....and then there are those that use it for extended banners and don't put a real country to begin with.
