Board Thread:Wiki General Discussion/@comment-25954837-20150517001353

Hello all! Giant Bubbles here. I’ve been on chat for some time on this wiki and I can see that there are some tiny little specs that need to be fixed. I’ll start by reading off the actual chat rules that are stated on this wiki and then giving my thoughts on each one of them. I know that there are couple more rules for the chat, but I’m quite exhausted. So I’ll just finish it here. If you have any thoughts about this, comment below. And see you next time! 
 * Posting or linking to obscene, offensive, pornographic or illegal material in any form.
 * I agree with this rule in every way. Just to remind you that there are kids that are 13 years old (or at least should be). By posting or linking offensive, pornographic, or illegal material will make the person think the wrong way. The more material there is, the more the person will think about it, and this might also affect the person’s future life. Even if you’re older, you should know better.
 * Advertising unrelated external sites, services or products, or promoting objectionable content or behavior, or spamming.
 * People go on websites like Wikia, make a user account, and advertise whatever they want so people would look into it. Well, I would call it as cheating, or let’s just say making your work easier by using unfairness. If you want people to know more about your product or material, then do it by using hard work. The advertising also goes to other wikis as well. Having a bad behavior will cause quite a conflict in the wiki’s chat. If you ever see a person with a bad behavior, tell him how to act appropriately. If he doesn’t stop, then just ignore him. Or report the user to a moderator or an admin if he starts breaking the chat rules. Spamming is something that makes the chat flooded. And by flooded I mean of users who want to disrupt the chat by posting the same message over and over in a rapid speed. Spamming is also the use of CAPS in a post. I would say that a couple of words in a message should be ok, if almost the whole or the whole message will be in CAPS, then that should be counted as spam. Also, the abbr. “wtf” for example may sound okay, but I’d say that all words or messages that are “meant” to have a cuss word in them, should still count as inappropriate behavior. The same goes for the stars (****).
 * Abusing, harassing, threatening or displaying any antisocial behavior towards other users.
 * All users should be felt in a friendly environment. I’d say that that’s the whole point of the chat. Users come on chat when they are bored or want to have a friendly chat with other users. Do you think they want to be harassed, threatened, or ignored? I don’t think so. Well, unless you do want to be, but that’s a totally different thing. Users should be welcoming, be friendly, and have fun in an appropriate way with the other users who are in chat. That’s what makes a person’s mood be happier.
 * Disobeying or disregarding staff instructions or requests either with intention or otherwise repeatedly doing so.
 * Users should listen to the moderators or administrators. If they tell you to stop doing something, then stop doing it. Although you have to you use your common sense to see of what the moderator or administrator requests you to do is necessary. I mean, if a moderator requests you to spam, are you going to spam? If you see a user with user rights not using his rights appropriately like he needs to be, report the user to an administrator.
 * Rejoining the chat in order to continue any of the above, which may result in a temporary ban from the chat.
 * This rule is quite logical and self-explanatory. If you break one of these rules, you will be kicked from chat. If you rejoin the chat to keep breaking the rules, you will be temporarily banned from chat.
