As most of you know Usachatnow has been going through allot of changes. I have evaluated what has hurt the site the most since this site has begun. Hosting has caused the most harm in this site since day one. When a user is upgraded to hosting it gives them the ability to control the madness in the chat rooms. Usually this works for a while until the hosting goes to there head. It goes from helping the site maintain a friendly environment to being about the power( this isn't all hosts just the majority). Some hosts think that if you even slightly disrespect them they will ban you. When a host get to this point I instantly remove them. Now what happens is they turn around and whisper everyone they know in the site, messengers and try to create drama. They try to get as many people to have bad opinions on the site, try to get them to leave the site, post bad things about the site and etc. This is why I am driven to straying completely away from hosting permanently. We have a small amount of hosts left and as they involve themselves in drama, treating users unfairly or any other activity that is forbidden we will drop them as well. The facts are we have ignore buttons in every chat room. When someone bothers you, all you have to do is ignore them. I will put allot more effort into better ignore functions as the weeks pass us by (Ignore buttons that will block the user by ip address). My bottom line with all changes is to better the users experience. A user needs to feel like they are just as important as everyone else. The drama that has been brought on by recent hosts is completely obsessed behavior and has forced usachatnow into a much better and more secure future. We eliminate future hosting we eliminate future drama.
