CHAT ROOM RULES

Misuse is defined as:
1. Posting messages that contain racial slurs and hate messages.
2. Posting messages that contain cursing and foul language.
3. Any socially unacceptable behavior or comments.
4. Breaching the anonymity of any participant in the chat room.

USER NOTES

All of the members of the chat room will always remain anonymous to each other. You will have the ability to log on as a guest, in which your username will be in the form of "GuestX" where X represents the number assigned to you based on how many other users are in the chat room. You will also be able to log on with a username/password that you decide and, although this will not affect your anonymity, you will have a registered username for posting to the chat room. If you have any questions regarding end user anonymity, please contact the Administrator for more information.

To report abuse about an offending participant, please send an e-mail or forward a copy of any offending off-group messages to the Administrator. Please include as much information as possible about the identity of the participant if you know it, including the person's guest number or username, the date and time when they were chatting, the person's e-mail address if it is visible, and any additional information you think would be helpful. We will examine the logs and determine whether the person should be permanently removed from the chat room.
