Just thought I would throw this one out to you guys . . .

Occassionally I start a chatroom(s) on yahoo. My wife usually sits and talks in it more than me. If any of you have done this you know how anoying it can be having someone come in just to mess with people. Ya, everyone could just ignore them but it does get old fast, not to mention every guy in the middle east wanting to talk dirty to her or "can I view webcam?". And an invite only room would make it less interesting (we dont have that many people in our chat lists).

I know there is a way to moderate these rooms or at least kick people out of them. I have seen people do it but no-one will tell me how. Also I have not been able to find ANY controls of that sort from Yahoo or on the net??? Does anyone know how this is done? Help me out! I'm just so sick of her having to deal with these a-holes.

Any takers???

try using mIRC, a program for Internet Relay Chat

its the eldest form of chat rooms, it existed before "www" did.

If you start a chatroom you can pretty much do whatever you want with it. kick, ban, invite only, whatever
