tos for to much chat in a room

[peter]

hey i talked to Katie kaur who is a supervisor for AOL's community appeals team. she explained to me that my account was locked out and has a tos violation for typing to much chat in 1 minute.

I typed a paragraph and hit enter. power tools just kept entering the info into the chat room until the paragraph was complete. Then i had my account locked out due to a tos violation for typing to much.

Can you explain to me why your software would allow me to type so much it will lock out my account?

my email is [e-mail]

PowerTools is simply an AOL add-on; how it is used and the manner in which it is used is controlled by the end user.

I've used PowerTools in chat rooms, while using the extended chat buffer, and didn't have a problem. However, AOL is its own entity and I can't give you a specific reason why you received a TOS violation.

PowerTools was created to give you as much flexibility as possible. It was widely used by Community Leaders of AOL that needed the ability to have an unlimited amount of characters in the chat buffer. I never type more than three lines of text, because anything more than that seems to overwhelm the room.

It's for scrolling. When you type more than you can on regular AOL (without PT), it scrolls to the next line. If you type too much, you get knocked offline. In your PowerChat Preferences, you can specify macro delays. It pauses every few lines or so (you designate which, I chose 3) for a certain amount of seconds.
