Lightning

I wonder how many from the original lot still play in that clan, i wonder if Joe still plays?

Well sorry Ginger its always been called that and the users always considered it as so, though its not officail. I was going to be officail if the staff here when i was admin here , was for it but wasn't ... Doesnt matter either way. its closed, end of story. I know alot will be glad its gone anyways including some staff here. LightsOut

Due to certain issues i have to close tipit chat down also known as lightning chat. Pope skills has offered to run it in place of lightning's chat. Sorry for the short notice but i am sure that the chat will be more happier there than being run by myself as i am not on much and not sure as yet if i return to runescape. I like to thank all the chat mods that run the chat for me and users. New tipit chat (aka lightning chat) will be found via Pope skills Thanks Lightning

Hiya re4p3r1 and to all others that seem to want to rant here when in fact Lightning chat has nothing what so ever to do with tip.it since I left tip.it/runescape months back Please do not use these forums to rant at others here about my chat guys. The staff here have no powers to interfer with my chat, though I do still have a few tip.it staff as chat ops there. But the actual running of the chat is for me to do though I have not been around in ages due to real life problems and I will say one thing. I am surprised the chat even still going! Thank you all that help to run it and those that drop by for a chat. I hope to be around more soon. If you have a problem , then please come to me via private message here. This is so it doesn't bog these boards up with rants but also helps me to look into the problems there. Thanks Lightning P.s Btw re4p3r1 this was the wrong thread to post in, its actually to do with muting in runescape not clan chat :D

Urg prehaps in future i should read my pms before posting here. Seems i had a few complaints from users about chat ops in the lightning channel. Just to overall this all. I will speak to those concerned. i'm sure something can be sorted out. I gues the rules now are a little too strict for a mature channel, but first i need to talk to the main chat ops there and see how they feel about lightening up on the rules a little. I have seen one or two chat ops are taking the rules a little tight and well they had no guidence from me cause i been away. So please don't blame them at all.

cowman_133 or anyone else for this matter. If you have a problem with any of the chat ops there, please private message me here and i will look into it. Though this might take some time as i am not too well atm and why i haven't been in runescape or the boards much. But i will see what i can do .

Making posts like these abut that user ikillmuslins etc, is only relaly going to encourage such idiots into chat. If you get a prat like that in chat and no chat mods are online, then please add them to ignore and certainly if its racist like that. REPORT them! That user is on chat ignore so he can't get back in. If you have anyone like this in chat and even if they been kicked, please send me a pm , so i can add them to the ignore list. Thanks.

Hi Lightning, I have just had a meeting with the head of Community Management and Player Support about the account tipitchat. The conclusion of the meeting was that we cannot allow this account to be used for your chat channel. Although we can see the benefits of this account being used, there are two reason why we felt we cannot allow it to happen. Firstly, other players may abuse the channel. I am sure you are aware that many players mistakingly think that Jagex runs Tip.It and some of our less trustworthy players will exploit that. Secondly, we do not want to start a precedent of allowing websites to have their own 'officially' names chat accounts. Although this would be no problem for the bigger fansites there are those who will abuse this. Be left in no doubt that we have the utmost confidence in your ability to organise and moderate a chat channel. This is why we are quite happy for you to make a tipit chat channel. If you could create a new account which does not have the word 'tipit' in then you are quite welcome to host your chat channel on there. Once you have transferred the information that you need to onto your new account, could you disable the channel on Tipitchat and let me know. I can then remove that account. I hope you understand our decision on this. Yours sincerely, ........................................................................................................... Well I thought this was already the case and why i contacted them awhile ago. I have no disagreements over their decision as if they did let us continue then it would open up holes for other fansites to do the same etc etc, So I have transfered all now over to Lightning. So if you still want to join tip.it chat . log in by Lightning please btw i dont normally show messages from jagex to me but i thought it be better all round if yo saw this one as it explains all. abit of a pain but i changed all over just a few minutes ago.

primadog It will survive i hope. I know i'm not in Irc much now and I have good reasons why not to be there, too many questions are being asked as to why I left, and at this present time I still won't go into it. I still talk to Silverion (not every day) but if i'm worried about something he will know about it hun. Also you got to understand that a lot of users are now gone back to school or started uni etc. so this time of year there is a drop in users normally. I have the same on my own irc server. The same with tipitchat. It came out really when most uk users were on hoilday.

added to ingore list but i doubt it will stop them

Okay guys i get the general idea and as i said in other topic on tipit.chat i am addng more users with permissions to kick. I am not geting many replies from users asking for kick powers or recommending anyone. Even though i left these boards I kinda round in no mans land at present but still kinda with tip.it as a whole. As i said i do not mind runnign the chat and even if i was playing runescape now, i still caouldn't play it 24/7 to catch everyone to stick on tipit clan chat ingore list. I ask alot of you to private message me here on the boards if there was a problem. The main problem with this clan chat system is only the holder of the chat can stick users on inogre list (so they cant get back in) which is a real pain! I have added another 4 users for kick powers over the last couple of days and will be adding more. I currently on access over 60 users/staff with kick powers there. BUt i yet need more! So if you may know someone i can trust with kick powers then please private message me. Please be aware though in having these powers you are representing tip.it ! Lightnng p.s. was done on purpose in bold so no one missed this!

Thanks hellbellz I have had some pms for possible users for kick powers, i am looking into them but i think we still need more. Only 7 have applied atm... still not enough. I will start to add some tomorrow once i heard back from person thats checkiing intot he the possibles there. Alot know me well but im afraid i meet too many people to really get to know them well enough to say yes straight away, so having someone else also to look into the possibles helps me ;) I hope to have all sorted by weekend for all you.

I have added that one to ingore list on tipitchat. Though i would think jagex would of banned him by now. I did pop in very quickly to tipitchat and have stated that we need more users there with kick powers. Now it feels i will open a can of worms here, but only option open to me currently. Its either this or i will have to close the chat down and i dont want to disappoint users that use it. So if you know anyone that i maybe able to trust with kick powers , please PRIVATE MESSAGE me here on the boards and i will look into it. I also really need the time zones that need covering, preferably tell me in Uk time if possible as im bad at workign time zones out. I have left a message with SIlverion that tipitchat needs to be looked into by us 2 . I do not mind holding the clan chat at all as long as we have enough users to cover problems like that as what was stated in the post before. As most of you are aware i have left tip.it/runescape but im kinda still with tip.it in other areas (well until i make my mind up what I want to do and that will take some time) If theres any problems like what came up please PRIVATE MESSAGE ME here. I do check in now and again.

Yea I know hun and you know i will ALWAYS be here (well u know where to contact me) anytime for you. You know where my heart is and you know I had no choice but to do what I did. Main thing that really tears me up more than anything, yes i did alot of work here , alot of it was behind the screens that hardly anyone saw but I do feel strongly that users forget that over all those years I had support from others here, alot have left now for one reason or another, but if it wasn't for their support but then and now , tip.it would of died. You know that Silverion. So really its down to me to: Thank all past and present staff for all their support over the years and please keep up the good work. This will always be my home though i'm tempory possible permantly living in no man's land atm :D Theres alot of users i will miss, some i will add to chat one day, but atm please don;t take offence. I need peace to sort out, not only myself out but my kids and life. When i feel stronger , you may see me back on chat. Until that time. I wish you all the best. I only really poped in to check private messages lol. *BIG HUGS* for Silverion and * group hugs* around to all of you.
