neich 232 #1 Posted April 20 I think the question is several, and I hope that I have not overlooked a post in which everything has been explained. I already have such a premonition but, what happend? is it coming back? I personally miss it honestly! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KiXxnTRiXx 274 #2 Posted April 20 i think it is because people kept using to troll trivia after eugene did it that one time.. but at least eugene tipped everyone that typed the command 50k sats,.. then some peeps.. ahem.. was doing the troll trivias for 1000 sats.. lmao... it was funny at first.. then it just became out of hand,, all of a sudden its a popular trivia to troll bonzo.. XD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neich 232 #3 Posted April 20 ok then i was right with what i thought and honestly i was also one of those who did BUT! I got my punishment for it too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wry 603 #4 Posted April 20 As with many things it was deactivated because it was being abused. Eugene might have paid everyone but it still generated a lot of support tickets so it made a lot of work for everyone else. The good news is that I'm sure any mod online will be happy to mute you for an hour upon request to help you take a break from the site. Good Luck! 3 1 maverick528, hui, Flansca and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FotisNt 336 #5 Posted April 21 (edited) I miss bonzo a lot, too bad that we abused it a bit, would make it harder if we knew that it will get deleted. Edited April 21 by FotisNt 1 neich reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allisonn 47 #6 Posted April 21 If you think about it, isn't this a very interesting experiment? Anyone who doesn't know about it will find out the hard way sooner or later, so lets assume every participant is familiar with the rules. I can do a bonzo trivia and anyone who wishes to self-mute can race to be the first. That means you are willing to give up the ability to type in chat up front, for a chance of X amount of money. People who don't care about X amount will stay in chat. Wouldn't this result in a higher-quality chat experience? I think it absolutely would. 1 nikowin88 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobdole 35 #7 Posted April 21 Yes bring back !bonzo it's much more dramatic than simply leaving chat. The only reason I can see for removing it is so new players aren't tricked into muting themselves but they'll learn their lesson lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jualid 370 #8 Posted April 21 Because of many people abused !bonzo and other selfmute command, also make a trivia to type !bonzo on chat. That's why admin/mod/sup turn off the selfmute command. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mistake 153 #9 Posted April 21 i also like to do bonzo sometime xDD idk why thats like addict Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
williamshennie9 782 #10 Posted April 21 I think it was removed because people hosted trivia asking people to type ! bonzo, then then they got muted of course. That was just plain taking advantage of someone else, so that is why I think they removed it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaniqua 377 #11 Posted April 21 i know a way you can get bonzo to work instead of ttyping in"!bonzo" try typing in "!BONZO", sometimes its b uggy... so if you type it "!BONZO" a few times after eachother... you will get the same effect =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bojana 1,772 #13 Posted April 22 Personally, I loved the feature!!! I begged hui for so long to implement it on both sites and it has shown to be quite useful if a player wants to take a break or just move away from the keyboard after a loosing streak, get out from an argument and not bug mods to mute him/her 😉 Yes, we have had a few unlucky incidents because of it. Yes, it has been abused unfortunately. I would love to see it back, but I guess it will not be, not for a while at least, not since it creates unnecessary workload for us, and since many don't know how to use it properly 😢 #justiceforselfmute 2 3 hui, maverick528, nikowin88 and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zulfandina 104 #14 Posted April 22 (edited) just follow the rules. no need to be adventurous. we have mods that always watch every player's movements. don't need to be fickle. 1 minute ago, zulfandina said: just follow the rules. no need to be adventurous. we have mods that always watch every player's movements. don't need to be fickle.

Cent21 4 #15 Posted April 22 (edited) I'm not sure if i'm understanding correctly... That bonzo chat command was an auto-mute function? What's the purpose of that? Can't users simply ignore chat to have the same effect? Edited April 22 by Cent21 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kate 654 #16 Posted April 22 Well i feel bad for Gene Even though it was removed because of Gene but maybe they might bring it back after discovering and fixing all the bugs that caused the problem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

laron 166 #18 Posted April 22 well that's the question that I often ask, I really miss bonzo, because with bonzo we can pause from chat activities that might be rather sickening hopefully in the future be held bonzo by stake team Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Etude 571 #19 Posted April 22 This is a weird request, but sure whatever fits you self-muter's lovers fancy I guess. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sped 33 #21 Posted April 23 It was probably because of all the troll trivias and such and this is just a hassle, but I loved the idea of it. When stake rams you up the ass its an easy way to just get mad and rage without actually getting mad in chat. Its a self control tactic in my eyes.

williamshennie9 782 #22 Posted April 23 I'm sure you can just ask live support to mute your account for x hours if you really wanted your account to be muted. But yeah, bonzo was a nice way to publicly declare yourself muted. Pity it was abused by people. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean every player should have the option to self mute.
