Why have Rules?
We have outlined the following rules of conduct so that the chat rooms are a welcoming and a pleasant place to be for everyone that participates. Breaking these rules spoils it for everyone.
The Chat Commandments
- DO NOT swear or use profanities
- DO NOT use excessive ASCII art (the use of letters and symbols to draw pictures) to flood the room
- DO NOT scroll that chat room with blank lines of text
- DO NOT flood the room
- DO NOT flood the room with sound alerts
- DO NOT threaten, harass, annoy or stalk other users
- DO NOT repeat the same message.
- DO NOT repeat the same message.
- DO NOT repeat the same message. Annoying isn’t it?
