I have some great ideas for features. Here they are:
1. In the online users list, the user names should be linked to the user's profile and in the color of their member group.
2. Users with administrator access or users with chat mod access should be in a separate area on the top of the list. This way, they are publicly marked as chat moderators so everyone knows who's who.
3. Chat mods should be able to login to the chat and remain invisible until they choose to show themselves.
4. Mods can "mute" a user by preventing them from chatting for a certain amount of time or indefinitely.
5. Mods can ban a user from the room once or for any amount of time.
6. Moderator features and options can be viewed in an ajax box.
7. Users can private message others inside the chat. This is simply a private conversation (it can be recorded of the user ops for it) between two users.
8. On the sidebar on the forums, there should be a list of everyone currently in the chat room. (Admins can turn on or off this feature)
9. Admins should be able to set a title for the chat room, a general message that users see upon entering it, and send messages at any time during the chat.
10. Admins can setup multiple chat rooms. The chat rooms can have a cap on the number of users inside of it and can be password protected.
These are all the feature suggestions I have at the moment. I'll post more when I think of some.
