YABA Chat Rules
When using the chat rooms please remember these rules for the comfort of others. If you break the room rules you may be removed from the chat or in serious cases have your account suspended or removed.

Moderated Room Rules

  1. Follow Sysop Instructions

  2. From time to time a sysop might give you an instruction or request to help maintain the sites proper running. If you argue you will only make it worse, please follow what is requested of you.

  3. No Explicit Language

  4. A general rule-of-thumb, if you have to misspell it to get it past the room filters then it is not allowed. This rule also applies to sexually explicit language as well as user names.

  5. No fighting or Name Calling

  6. Arguments that get out of hand or fighting will not be tolerated and Sysop's will remove problem people from the chat rooms regardless of who started it. Likewise if someone wants to be left alone then leave them alone.

  7. No Flooding or Unnecessary Repetition

  8. Flooding is the repeated posting of the same message or text. It also includes posting of nonsense text that disrupts the chat. This makes it hard for other chatters to continue their conversation and will not be tolerated in the chat room.

  9. No Cybering in Public

  10. Not everyone likes to hear about it, so if you must do it, keep your messages private or stick to the private rooms. Requesting a "cyber" meeting is also not allowed and you may be removed from the room.

  11. No Racist or Prejudice Slurs

  12. Racism and prejudice of any kind will not be tolerated. Such behaviour only makes you look small minded.

  13. No Typing in All CAPS

  14. Typing all in CAPS or capitals is considered shouting and as such should rarely be used. Typing whole lines in CAPS is considered rude.

  15. No Posting of Private Contact Details

  16. Private contact details are not to be posted publicly within the rooms or other services of this site. This rule is in place to protect the innocent from personal risk by others.
