Hello everyone,
There seems to be a lot of people here on the group who are unaware of the site rules in relation to the chat room.
The site rules are linked to from the green menu bar at the top of each page of the forum. It's the link that says "Site Rules".
The rules are simple and straightforward; "The below rules apply to both the forum areas AND the chat room."
During this weekend, I spent a lot of time observing the chat room. I've discovered that lots of people think it's ok to cuss any time they wish in chat, just because it's not censored. This is a perfect example of why the censoring has to be done in the main forums. Left to their own, a few members will cuss like crazy of not censored.
The chat room is shared by all the members and no one should have to feel that they can't come in because of the language used in chat.
I'm asking everyone to moderate themselves in chat. If the chat room is abused, the owner of the site has made it clear that he will just take it off the site.
So, the choices are:
1. Moderate yourselves in chat and make it a nice place to go without cussing, flaming and bashing of other members.
2. Chat will no longer be available to anyone.
Easy decision I think.
If anyone observes someone abusing chat, please PM Marpassion or any of the Mods. We'll contact the person who is abusing it and do what is necessary to end the problem.
Frankly, I don't see why it's a problem. We're all over 18 and capable of talking without cussing and attacking other people.
Let's all just do that.
To all of you that don't do anything like that in chat, I'm sorry that this has even become an issue.
A few people are likely to ruin it for everyone on the site.
Without your help, we can't control what happens in chat. As I said above, if it continues to be a problem, the owner, (Marpassion), has said he will just remove it from the site.
Please, lets not make that necessary.
Thank you,
Stoney.
