I was wondering if there was any yahoo bots that could be used to protect the room you create. I love yahoo but there is not way to host anyone or prtect the room against trouble makers. Do you have any sugesstions? I know in paltalk you have admins like with useing a code. And only the admins can red dot ppl meaning to silence them and take there mics away. And you can bounce them out of the room. Hope you can help and have a good day. Beth
