Ehhhh, Seriously? Mods? Hello, my friends? Can we get some insight please? Like, what do we need to do, in order to access chat again? Yes, a lot of us are active on forums and read through them and participate, however, the live chat is of great value, particularly to those of us who may be on the fence...
if they lay out the exact requirements as stated upthread it would completely defeat the purpose of changing them to prevent bad actors and trolls.

I mean it's nice to have a control on it but I personally don't like participating very much in threads and stuff I would read them but barely answer. I guess I'll have to do it in order to unlock the chat F đź«

I see, I understand the reasoning behind this though I'm not really the most social, I suppose I'll be absent for quite a while from chat

I'm really distressed over not having access to chat anymore. I always pop in when I'm having some sort of crisis and need company asap. I'm also shy about posting on this forum because I am sort of paranoid about my personal information. Don't know how to cope with this right now

Thanks, I actually didn't realise that it was being trolled, but then, I only pop into chat for a few minutes to say hello.
Yeah, I usually do the same from time to time... Kind of surprised and confused that I couldn't find the chat.

I feel the exact same way. Come on... Thanks to the chat, within just one week on SaSu, I instantly met an amazingly supportive group. Just imagine how many other people are going to miss out on this because of the new requirements...

im so confused, is this live chat the same one in the upper right corner next to the search bar? it has remained for me if so.

I have no idea what's going on with chats, because of my eyesight and my learning disability, but i joined. Didn't have it, made some posts, then it appeared, then it disappeared. Honestly having it taken away from me just a few days before my scheduled bus has been a huge hit emotionally. This should be the one place that has some stability and consistency. Ahh well.

i've been away for a few days, i did notice some strange prolife comments around the forums before that though. makes sense that it would have crossed over into the chat. i never popped in, but i was planning to when i was ready for more socializing. i personally don't mind it, but i do think many people would have appreciated a notice of a huge change like that instead of being noticed after the fact. i'm hoping it'll help things in the long run for this community thought.

I received some messages recently from members asking why they are unable to enter chat. We changed the requirements to enter chat to prevent trolls and alt-accounts from entering chats easily and pursuing malicious goals. Thanks for your understanding and I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused to all people who already had access to chat but I can assure that if you keep being active on the site, you'll gain access to chat again in no time. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message.

Sincerely,
RainAndSadness
I dont have access to my chat anymore either
From what Rain said, I'm assuming it means people need to be more active on the site? But I could be wrong. I have access to my chat.

This made me realize that there's so many users who have been here for years but have probably never posted much or even interacted at all with the main forums and idk why but that's kind of offputting to me. I never really figured out how to use the chat anyway since it's a bit wonky on my phone.

Someone asked me a question which I replied to then asked me the same question again after I already replied, so I think there's a problem with people not receiving messages in private conversations.

I wasn't a chat user, but I can see it being useful for others.

It does feel like some of the really useful aspects of the community (e.g. chat, DM) require "spammy" forum behavior to access.

I understand the need to address bad actors, but this approach feels backward to me. I'd personally prefer a more open access, with a clear way for actual users just to flag bad actors.

But, I'm not an admin nor moderator, nor do I expect to be around long enough to (a) ever become a mod, nor (b) at this point, to be around long enough to ever have access to the locked out "until you spam the forums enough" features.

Regardless, I am genuinely grateful for the forums and, in particular, the comprehensive guides and megathreads. (Although, I do wish the informational aspects were aggregated into something more concise like a wiki.)
