The RumbleTalk community chat includes many different options and features. As the platform is growing, we are evolving and we are always trying to ensure that the platform is user-friendly.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our community chat features provide a high level of functionality matched by their ease of use; check out our top 5 features as follows.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deleting chat messages<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a community chat, what does an administrator do? It’s moderating the chat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, if someone was harassing your members or creating similar scenes like this, would you appreciate it? Of course not. This is all your hard work and you would not tolerate this kind of action in your chat rooms<\/a>. With situations like this in mind, we have made deleting messages a quick and simple process.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All you need to do is click the trash bin icon next to the messages. This icon appears in both group and private chats.<\/p>\n\n\n

To clear the entire community chat message cache history (for all users), select the gear icon at the bottom of the sidebar. This will bring up your chat options. From here, you will see the “Clear chat messages<\/strong>” button. With one click, all chat messages will be cleared. Note that you will only see this option if you’re logged in as an administrator.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

View a user\u2019s IP address<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another part of your responsibility as an administrator will involve deleting another person’s messages in the community chat room. When a user is doing grave actions that can affect your chat, you need to take extra countermeasures. These actions can be harassing other members, asking too much personal information, and more. This extra countermeasure is found on the ability to view a user\u2019s IP address. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An IP address identifies a computer and distinguishes it from all the other computers on the internet. Knowing the IP address of the predator or troll who is targeting your chat is the first step towards taking preventative action against such offenders.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

The members of the chat community joined the chat room for a specific reason and that is to chat with others and communicate peacefully.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there’s a person who just wants to cause a riot or problem in the chat room, then you can easily ban that user.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
