Have someone enter /kickban <Your Skype name> in that chat, the creator or a master

1st. Thanks for the reply.

And yeah..i thought about that possibility...it's just that the chat is very old...like...maybe 3years old and it's not clear who made it...so if there's any other way please let me know.

Well, all one needs to do is do this in that chat to get who has what role: /showmembers

 

You could then contact the creator or any master/admin there to do the command I suggested.

Hi, lehepoiss, and welcome to the Community,

 

Other options can be found in this chat  commands list:

https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10042/what-are-chat-commands-and-roles

 

Another idea to consider: I participate in several chats, however unfortunately cannot often monitor as they occur.  I silenced the Notification, and can catch up on reading when I have opportunity.  In Windows, with the chat open, the instruction is:

Conversation -> Notification Settings -> [click which radio button is your choice ] -> OK.
  Note - you will see  you can also Leave the conversation from this same options list.

 

Kind regards,

Elaine
