Or let's stop *bleep*ing recruiting noobs through the clan chat.

Easier said than done =/

Complaining about something that comes with the chat. If you can't accept that your arguing for a lost cause.

ACY is sorting away to use the friends list to help us identify the newer "noobs" it'll be a tool that everyone can use to idenfity random people, to screenie them or kick them ect.

ATM that seems like the only solution to the problem i think.

Unless he forks out cash for members, then that problem would be sorted easiy .

With regards to new people discovering the chat and wanting to join Neo, while I would normally welcome any stream of new members, remember that this chat is for forum users. It's not for people who create a Neo account just for the sake of being allowed in the chat. And on that note, remember that advertising Neoseeker in any way in RS is against the rules. Jagex state that you cannot give URLs, names of sites or tell people what to put into Google; all are forms of advertising and are bannable. So really, if someone comes in asking to join our 'clan', we sadly have to turn them away without any hope of joining us.


As for having trying the friends-only approach again, remember that Neo_Chat can only hold 100 users, including any secondary accounts you may want. We could start to compile a list now of who would like to be on that list (PM me, don't spam this thread) and see how many apply, and if it's an acceptable level we could go for it. I was at one point thinking of getting members on the Neo_Chat account for the sake of keeping the chat private and accessible to all accounts, including secondary accounts, but I really don't want to fork out £3.20 a month just for that, especially when a lot of the problems are coming from Neo members who would be added to the friends list anyway. Most of the 'problem' is internal, so building a brick wall around the chat won't solve it.

Oh, put this as the new header of the forum, and maybe twice as many people will take action as before, and give about 2 weeks?

Will you make it so only friends can talk on Clan Chat?
Otherwise all this would be pointless...

Godilove2.

All i asked was your Neo name....i didnt ask rudely or anything.

It doesn't matter if you tell one General/Captian your Neo name, i'm not a mind reader, and i didn't recognise your name in Clan chat.

If you just wanna reply here or Pm so i know, then thats fine, and we can forget it.

Just send me a message buddy. Dont feel unwelcomed by it, we ask everyone, some people have been asked like 10 times.

Ill just sit here with my Hot Coco until you come back.

Ok, my idea is this...

Friend list 1 account from everybody. This had better be your main account. Then, now you can either pass anyone else off w/o the smiley face as a 2nd account or someone that shouldnt be in there. If not, and we send neo to friends only, your seconds are outta luck.

I've had a lot more PMs than I had when I first asked for RSNs, which is good to see. At time of writing, the preview friends list has 66 names on it, excluding possible secondary accounts (they will ONLY be added if there is plenty of space) and a few irregular members who may wish to pop in. However, I also happen to know that several people who've been in CC the past couple of days haven't PMed me for one reason or another. If your name doesn't feature on this list, please PM me your RuneScape name.
