It's a "free" chat system. Some of the callers are a bunch of bottom 
feeding mouth breathers who have nothing better to do than scream and 
offend the other callers.

The administrators are "flying blind." All they have is a handset and a 
dialpad. When they go into a conference, if everybody is behaving, they 
move on to the next conference. If somebody is misbehaving, they need a 
way to identify and potentially kick them out of the conference. Muting 
and un-muting the callers 1 by 1 is a bit of a chore, but "ya work with 
what ya got."

Thanks in advance,
