I thought seeing as it seems to be a question no one really has a solution to to ask in here if people are as annoyed as me with the constant whispers that go on in chatrooms uninvited.
I know many already have like mine something on their profile saying they find uninvited whispers offensive and still have it ignored sometimes to the point of being upset so much they have left.
I myself now find i copy and paste all whispers i receive straight into the room with a comment along the lines of please dont. Of course if it has been one of those nights the comments get sarkier(?) as the night goes on with me invariably getting in a worse mood each time. It detracts from the enjoyment of the rest of the chat.
I have been advised to ignore them (doesnt work with some of the more persistant ones), i've been advised to report the person (very little seems to happen and they've continued), room hosts (i often have my own room open) are powerless because even if they boot someone for persistant whispering in a room directly titled no whispering, the person simply clicks on join room and picks up where they left off.
I have used other sites where if someone whispers you without your consent you can block them from future whispers. It is a great idea and works really well.
Now i'm not saying that all whispers are wrong, we all whisper with friends or when arranging meets etc but if something could be put in place where someone has to ask you and you have to accept that whisper surely that would make the chatrooms a much friendlier place and end the constant remarks from ppl all saying the same thing "xxxxxxx please stop whispering"
Of course I understand that some members have no problems with uninvited whispers so maybe again there could be an opt out option available with those people who would prefer not to enter into this
Does anyone have any other remarks/suggestions/ideas, and even if you dont it would be interesting to see your opinion with the Poll on here.
That will teach me to have typed all this while in the Cafe and then realising it would be better in the Chatroom lounge, so copied and pasted it over without checking to see if there was already a thread running, apologies to those that may be offended, but will still be interested in seeing wot the poll might show up.
I think you're hoping against hope. And what bugs me are the ones who make you out to be the villain of the piece after you've had them not to whisper without asking. I think we'll just have to put up with the dickheads and hope that after enough sarcasm is levelled at them they will eventually stop or go a f**k themselves ( how rude)
Your permission has to be obtained to allow a cam to be shown, something similar could be arranged for accepting whispers. Although if you feel that ignoring whispers makes the whisperer abusive, denying access to them could generate the same effect.
I've never had problems with persistant whisperers getting abusive but I know people who have. It is very upsetting for them and puts them off chatting. It should be possible to boot someone for whispering and not allow them back into the same chatroom the same day.
I have had whisperers who say banal stuff that could be discussed in the room but they will not give in. That gets on my nerves sometimes and I usually reply to their questions in the room if I feel inclined to acknowledge their prescence. Otherwise I do tend to ignore persistant whisperers.
I have said this in a previous post >>>
What we need is an "IGNORE" button
The more the ignore button is used the sooner the plonkers will realise they are in the wrong and the rooms become less crowded.

We hate uninvited whispers with a passion. :shock:
The ones who do it all the time are the worst of all. The same people time after time. They do it to everyone, they are the worst.
In my experience the best way to stop them is to copy and paste the whisper into the room, with a " no whisper without asking quote ". Most of the time they leave the room, as they have now been singled out.
I really really cannot understand why a room host has the " kick " button, if the person kicked can get straight back into the room, by pressing the join button again. What is the point in that?
I have seen people get booted 20 times and still keep coming back in. A useless thing in my view. Much better to have an ignore button where you just click it and hey presto that person cannot whisper you ever again. Or an ability to block certain members. That would work much better.
That is one of the reasons mrs777 very rarely goes on cam now, as when the pubs shut on a fri or sat night and they get home, that is when the worst offenders appear.
No easy solutions but if the " no whispers without asking first " is part of the AUP ( which it is ), than surely something should be done to the persistant ones out there, who continue to do it?
I agree with Bug.
A simple ignore button next to users names works well in other chats and has for years. More sophisticated systems are also widely used.
It aint difficult it just requires money.
We just ignore them and they normally go they do not we just leave the room for a little while and they then normally get the message.
Yes as you said, some other sites allow us to block an individual who is causing grief. Why cannot we do that here, it is quite simple, we need to be able to just click on the person invelved and have the option, not to ban them, but to stop them private messaging or anoying us. It has been a pain for me on here and would like some action from SH.
Kind Regards to all,

What pretty short arse said.

If i get whispers I just say in general chat "joe blogs get out my whispers please" it works every time.
What I dont like are the people who constantly paste the whispers into chat.
