Mods for the chatbox appear with their names in purple.
- if you wish to take up a matter with a mod, try and keep chatbox matters to the chatbox mods, since this is their area to deal with . Should you need to, they can be found here (click name for profile):

The chatbox follows the same rules as the forum, but we would like to reinforce the following:

- The Chatbox is not a place for dating/sex chat. It is a place for members to just hang out and relax, talk rubbish and generally have a bit of fun and banter. Anyone expecting a cheap alternative to the babechannel phonelines would be better served looking elsewhere for that satisfaction.
- No racial or abusive comments will be tolerated.
- No personal insults. Any offensive personal insults = zero tolerance

  • This includes being used in the form of 'greetings'

- No arguments are to be taken from the forum or anywhere else into the chatbox.
- No arguments are to be taken from the chatbox onto the forum.

  • - The use of Proxy's is strictly forbidden. Those found to be using one will receive an immediate ban from the chatbox and will continue to do so until they log in using a proper ip.
    - Links to items that breach the copyright rules of the forum are not to be exchanged, or asked for, in the chatbox: This has been highlighted due to the unfortunate increase of (primarily new member perhaps unfamiliar with the rules) coming into the chatbox looking for these sort of links. If it's not on the forum, then it's not to be found in the chatbox either.
    - No posting of links to material that can be defined as "hardcore" without warning other users about the content linked to. Not all members are comfortable viewing hardcore images.
    - If you are linking to a personal image of a forum member, please seek permission before doing so. As the copyright owner of personal photos, the member has the right to choose where they are displayed.
    - No Spamming
    - No advertising. The chatbox is a facility for members to relax and pass the time in. Use of the chatbox as an advertising space is not permitted, there is threadspace on the forum for that purpose. Please respect this rule, as even channel operators or presenters are not granted immunity from it.
    - No Flooding
    - Whispering. Try and show some common courtesy to fellow users and avoid 'cold whispering'. Avoid only going into the chatbox to whisper to people, particularly those you haven't spoken to before, as this may cause them to be uncomfortable. 

    Please refrain from posting large images using the image button in the chatroom unless its relevant and please delete them once shown as this slows down the chatroom for people or the Mods will do it for you. We recommend you use thumbnail images for the image button. Also Extremely graphic or violent images should not be done this way, if you must share them, please just paste the link or use the URL button and warn people about what it is, so people can know what to expect! I say this as some people may be eating or just not expecting this, or may have people in the vicinity that can see what the user is up to, so please be considerate to other users.

    The initial default ban is ten minutes long. This gives anyone booted long enough to calm down. Prior to being banned a user will be warned first to allow them the chance to calm down. Any subsequent repeated offences will be treated on a case by case basis, and if it is felt that the user repeating the offence is doing so deliberately it may result in a kick without warning, with the ban being a time set by the moderator that kicks that member. As stated, the chatbox is meant to be a fun friendly place. Not a war zone.

    We ask that you treat other users and all moderators with respect (this includes refraining from telling or suggesting to a mod what action they should take) – it’s not asking much, we would like everyone to enjoy their experience on the service and you, as an individual, can help achieve that by simply following the guidelines for the service and the rooms you use. 

    Finally, if you are leaving the chatbox for any length of time (going out, going to bed etc) please either logout or close the chatbox down. Basic common courtesy that just allows the other users to know who is actually in the room.

    Thanks for your co-operation.

    The Chatbox Team.
