| GeoCities chat rooms are a great place to meet people, and basically
to have fun. In the RainForest, our chat room monitors provide an important
service to homesteaders and visitors alike by keeping the chat rooms a
friendly place to visit. Following are some basic courtesies and simple
rules of etiquette that all chatters should follow in order to lessen monitor
intervention, and to help keep the chat rooms fun and enjoyable for everyone:
Do not use profanities, or abusive language. Chat monitors have the
authority to instantly boot an abusive chatter without warning.
Do not harass other chatters. Chat monitors will intervene in all instances
of abusive behavior.
Do not harass the chat monitors. They are here to help you, and should
be extended the same courtesies you expect to receive from others.
If you wind up in a heated argument with another chatter, please keep
it private to avoid offending or bothering other chatters.
If you find yourself being harrassed or bothered by another chatter
at a time when a chat monitor is not available, you can quickly discourage
the activity by clicking on CONFIG and selecting IGNORE for that person.
Doing so will instantly block that chatter's posts.
Use CAPS only if you wish to emphasize a word or phrase. CAPS are customarily
considered SHOUTING in a chat room.
Remember, if you are indeed booted for untolerated behavior, you will
not be able to re-enter the chat room for an extended period of time, therefore
we encourage you to be courteous at all times, and practice good chat room
etiquette.
