Re: New chat room options (opinions please)
I would personally say that it is a nice thing to have, but very very non-essential and would need to be monitored and controlled by each individual.
The chat room is a good way for people to talk and express themselves anonymously and hopefully provide a platform to build confidence during some very difficult times, so the fact there is a webcam option could maybe be enough to put people off, or make them reconsider fully opening up just in case their identity is revealed.
My biggest worry would be the abuse of the feature. People using the chat room are often likely to be in a vulnerable state and potentially not capable of making the best decisions for themselves, so if there is a possibility that someone could be manipulative or abusive with the webcams - even if that possibility is very very small - it is something that should not be available to them.
Looking forwards to the new chat room!
