ROSWELL HEAVEN
CHAT ROOM RULES
At RH the chat room is very popluar, not only for Author's Chats, but for everyday, friendly chatting. And that is why we feel we need to restate some rules, and add a few new ones -
For starters, these rules are not up for discussion.
They must be followed explicitly, and those who refuse, will be banned from chat privileges. Understood?
Sweet, now, let's move forward.
General Chat Rules:
These rules apply to all chats - Author chats & open chats
1. All members attending a chat have the responsibility to be polite and courteous to all other members.
People may have different opinions then you - that's okay
People may not agree with you - that's okay too
It doesn't mean anyone is right or wrong. We're just different.
Not everyone will agree on every subject, and everyone has the right to their own opinion.
But no one has the right to ridicule, or belittle another member - for any reason. Keep the derogatory comments out of the chat room.
If this cannot be followed, or if there is some sort of confrontation, we request that you take it elsewhere. All people involved in a situation of that sort will be put on warning. You only get ONE warning. After that we start handing out strikes and suspensions.
If things get heated, be an adult. Leave. It's quite simple. Keep in mind, only an administrator can resolve a conflict that comes up in a chat, please DO NOT take it upon yourself to do so.
We don't want to have to knock anybody out of a chat.
That will also be available for people who step out of line.
2. Greet everyone who comes into the chat room, and include them in the conversations.
We shouldn't even have to say this.
We know you have friends, and you like to talk to them. But the chats are for everyone, and everyone should feel comfortable attending the chats. They shouldn't have to worry that no one will talk to them.
We don't need to traumatize anyone with bad high school flashbacks.
If you want to have private conversations, get a private room, or go to Yahoo, MSN, AIM, etc.
Remember, all of your friends were strangers once too. And who knows, that new person in the chat might turn out to be your new best friend.
3. And finally, even though we are all a family, Administrators and Moderators are to be respected, and if you step out of line and cause trouble, we will not think twice about warning you, kicking you out, suspending or banning you.
The truth is, we prefer to have 5 people, if those 5 are being polite and respectful and enjoying themseves here. We don't need three hundred people if they're just going to be here to start trouble. We'll just say bye-bye. We don't need that level of stress around here.
Oh, and as a warning, if you even try to resign up under a different screenname... well let's just say we have people who can figure that out and will make it their business to get you in lots and lots of trouble for harrassment.
So don't even think about it. ;) K?
Author's Chat Rules:
From time to time we have the privledge of welcoming fanfic authors into our chat room, to talk about their writing. And we want to state a few special rules for those chats.
1. Roswell Heaven Author Chats will be moderated at all times.
In the case that an administrator cannot be present, TWO or MORE MODERATORS will be put in charge of the chat, with very clear directions on what to do if a chat were to get out of line. An Admin will be put on alert for the evening, by email or messenger, and they will have an assigned time to check up on the chat and make sure it is running smoothly.
2. We request that everyone be respectful to the guest author and stick to asking the author pertinent questions regarding fanfiction and Roswell while the "official" chat is taking place.
There is nothing wrong with having fun conversations during a chat. But the author was invited to talk about their stories. They are graciously spending their valuable time talking to you.
The chat starts at a specific time, hence, when all are ready, the Admin or Mod in charge will dictate when we can begin. Then, when all questions are explored, we will officially END the chat.
Before and after, feel free to discuss whatever you want. We love fun, random, chatting. It's how we get to know each other better. But while the "official" chat is taking place, stick to matters regarding the writer and the fandom.
3. WARNING: These chats are not rated, and there are authors out there that deal and write about adult material.
We are also starting a series of chats called the Eros chats, and these will feature author's Adult rated stories.
If you are not comfortable in such a chat, we kindly request that you do not attend. Read up on the author in question, and get a feel for their things. If it's not your style, fine. There will always be other chats.
Let's not forget just how important it is to respect each other.
We would like to remind each and EVERY ONE of our Members here at Roswell Heaven how important it is to behave in all chats.
Please... PLEASE remember to respect each other in there, and remember to act on your best behavior.
We won't have any trouble banning anyone from the chats or closing the whole chat system down. Let's all be adults about it and learn that sometimes words can hurt.
Alrighty guys. Let the chats RESUME!!!
