There are a some rules you'll need to follow when chatting on our sites.

• Do not give out personal information about yourself under any circumstances. This includes your name, phone number, address or anything else that may be used against you. Remember, the person you are chatting with may not be who you think they are. We can not be held responsible for damages caused by users of the system. Anyone found distributing personally identifiable information may be removed without warning and no compensation. We have no way to tell that you are the same person as the one whose information is being divulged.
  
  
• Personal attacks on others, petty fighting, bigotry, homophobia, and any other form of harassment or discrimination will not be tolerated. Play nice! All parties involved in a dispute may be removed without warning and any compensation! The easiest way to end an argument is to ignore the other person(s) involved and to ban him. Even one reply will encourage them to keep bugging you. We don't care who started the first, especially if you are keeping it going.
  
  
• Illegal material is prohibited. You must not promote any illegal or commercial activities. We proactively engage law enforcement agencies as required. You are not anonymous on the Internet.
  
  
• While you are free to advertise your personal home page, you may not advertise any commercial web sites nor may you advertise any other chat lines whether they are commercial or non-commercial.
  
  
• Names are not reserved on the system. While internet etiquette says you should not use someone else's name, you will not be removed for this since technically you are not breaking the rules. The exception to this rule is that you may not impersonate the chat administrator or any of the moderators. If this happens you will be removed without warning.
  
  
• We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone who refuses to cooperate with an authorized moderator when requested. While you will not be removed because of a personality conflict you may be denied access to the system without warning and no compensation based on the nature of the offense. If you receive a warning be sure to respond and promptly follow the instructions you are given. Insulting the moderator with profanity is the quickest way to ensure that you are banned from the system. In the event of a dispute the decision of the chat administrators is final.
  
  
• These RULES ARE NOT OPTIONAL. Your use of this system requires that you adhere to these policies even if you have not read them.
