The chatbox follows the same rules as the forum, but we would like to
re-inforce the following: CLICK HERE TO ENTER THE
CHATBOX
- 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 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 racial or abusive comments will be
tolerated.
-
No personal
insults. Any offensive personal
insults = zero tolerance.
-
No
arguments are to be brought from the forum or anywhere else into the
chatbox.
-
No arguments are to be taken from the chatbox onto the forum.
- No
Flooding.
- 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.
- 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.
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.
Mods for the chatbox appear
with their names in purple.
We ask that
you treat other users and all moderators with respect – 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.
