Why Does Everyone Turn Chat Off?

[Nothieveshere]

When I try to use the chat feature it is very rare for users to have it turned on. Is it because they don't to get shit for not sharing?

probably because they dont want to chat - i know i dont if i use KL.

In Kazaa its been heard of people getting spam and stuff through the message feature. I leave it on though as I sometimes use it to ask people wether the file I'm downloading is correctly named / working. I've also been messaged before by people warning me of dud files which is useful especially with large files.

I keep it switched on, because sometimes people ask me questions about my files, such as have I got any more mp3s in this style, etc.

I have never been sent anything bad through the instant messenging service.

Yeah I also turn on the chat, only if I need to ask about the file I download. But when the chat option is off, it doesn't mean that the user doesn't share anything. You know, no one wants to be annoyed by spam messages or the riaa bots who send you messages of copyright infringement and so far.. That's why most people turn off the chat, and also many users are not available. They just leave their pc downloading and are not at home.. that's also one of the reasons why people turn off chat. ;)

It's pretty annoying. Better to concentrate in the forum, you'll get some credits to count a post.

i turn it off long ago
too many stupid questions, constance q's if things worked and people without codec bitching because they don't have the correct codec's

1- riaa spam
2- porn spam
3- bitching about leeching from people that never heard about the privacy patch
4- messages for KazaaLiteUser get delivered to one of the thousands of KazaaLiteUsers with that name, and never the intended one.
5- stupid questions about files I never heard of, as a result of 4-.
6- the annoying popups when K++ is running in the background.

That is sad that ppl turn of this Messenger Service :( cause Kazaa is for sharing and I also have had some nice discussions going on on Kazaa Lite K++ ;)
The one I remember most was with _Michelle_ from France ;)

I have experienced that too when I was a noob. Too many irrelevant questions that I could not decipher.

yeah i turn the chat feature on too , to ask people if the file im dling is a fake or not. The only problem i have with this sometimes is that , asswipes keep spamming me to advertise their porn sites...

[camille]

Why you spend your time with them, nonsense?

[james_bond_rulez]

i turn it off, always. everytime i setup a new version of kl i always tick "ignore all incoming messages" option.

why? spam.... <_<

I find that the People sharing the f**ked up mp3 files or blank movie files have it on ignore
had one guy once when Reloaded was on the scene back in May and of course I knew it wouldn&#39;t be out till it made the theaters so I randomly message every single f*ckwit sharing them

saying

"sharing a fake is great isn&#39;t it I find it quite amusing actually that your sharing this movie its actually got to come out first you must be really dumb"

I got hardly any replys but a few reply I found hilarious

like

"what do you mean fake?

"I&#39;m trying to get the file like you too c**breath"

I found it very amusing at the time but it was fun

[Turd Ferguson]

I had it on briefly once, but there are too many stupid idiots using kazaa, and I don&#39;t want to talk to them.

One guy called me a leech for not sharing files (I had privacy on) while he was actaully downloading something from me. Stupid moron. :angry:
