You know when sometimes you are in different chatrooms at the same time, people end up using /whois on you and go into one of your other chatrooms? It kinda gets annoying...no offense to anybody...so what I'm asking is if when using /whois, could it not show the chatrooms you're in? I've seen a lot of people stalk people in chatrooms because of it...

That is the purpose of a /whois command. You are telling them not to have a result for a command which is supposed to have a feature specific to that command?
If you don't want anyone joining a particular room, use the room features that are controllable by the owner and upper rank users in chatroom can use to block the user from chatroom or making the room private. Otherwise, whether you feel like its stalking or not, they can enter if they want and aren't breaking the room's or dA's chat policies.

If you are having any problem with such 'stalkers' during your chat, contact the room's founder that you feel uncomfortable with it, and see what they say or contact the Community Volunteers on #help chatroom and/or stop communicating with them if they initiate conversation with you.

Oh, I see...
Thanks for the advice anyways. It's not that serious or anything, but thanks for letting me know.

What program are you talking about? /whois is not a program, it's a command

Oh. Well, what I was talking about is the coding behind the command.

Yeah. Sorry about the mixup of terminology. I usually don't make those types of mistakes.... I guess when you're hungry, it affects how you think, I guess.

It's fine. And I guess hunger does affect how I think sometimes.

I've been starving all day, today. And, I am very surprised that I haven't made many typographic errors, considering the hunger I am going through, even as I type this message.
