Chat Policies

Below is a list of rules that must be followed in the Chat Room. Here on Happy Tree Friends Fanon Wiki, we allow registered users to visit the chat room so they can talk with other users about anything (appropriate)! Please view the rules below to get the rundown of what is/is not allowed in the chat room. The chat is a lot of fun to be in and we hope that you have a great time making new friends and having fun!
 * -|Chatting with Others =
 * 1) Be respectful to all users in chat, regardless of how you may feel about them.
 * 2) Cyber-bullying is far from allowed. This includes being rude, putting down others, discriminating because of race, gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, etc., intimidating others, harassing, threatening, or calling others inappropriate names.
 * 3) Do not give out any personal information openly in chat. This especially includes your full name, your phone number, and your address.
 * 4) Do not bring up any topics, ask any questions, etc. that may be uncomfortable, disturbing, or highly controversial for other users.
 * 5) Do not spam in the chat.
 * 6) Deliberately angering someone due to differing interests is known as “trolling”, a common internet issue that will not be accepted. For example, going to a user and calling them a rude name because they like a ship different from yours is considered trolling.
 * 7) Do not post any inappropriate, disturbing, or possibly offensive links in the chat.
 * 8) Please be as respectful and considerate as possible when expressing your feelings.
 * 9) Do not make users uncomfortable when they ask you to stop. If they ask you to stop talking about a subject, STOP talking about it.
 * 10) Do not pose as anyone but yourself (do not pretend to be a celebrity, another user, etc.) unless you are roleplaying (as characters only!).
 * 11) Everything discussed in chat must be appropriate. Do not bring up any inappropriate topics.
 * -|Private Messaging =
 * Chat Moderators do not have all that much power in Private Messages. Nor do admins. Private messaging allows you to talk in private with another user. We trust that you will still follow the rules of the chat, even when a Chat Moderator is not around. However, you do have the power to block the user yourself in a Private Message by clicking the "Block Private Messages" button on their username. This is so the other user can't try to talk with you in private.
 * 1) If the user you are talking to in private is harassing you, report him/her to an admin.
 * -|Chat Conflicts =
 * -|Tips & Additional Info =
 * Screenshots are a-okay! If you ever find yourself in the chat with another user who is being very disrespectful and there are no Chat Moderators on deck, take a screenshot and show an admin to report them.
 * It is recommended that you do this because stories with no evidence usually turn into "he said-she said" situations.
 * If there is a user you aren't too fond that is in the chat, ignore them. Do not speak to them at all, unless you are trying to make amends with them. Speaking to users you don't like can result in arguing and fights.
 * Just because you are friends with one of the Chat Moderators, doesn't mean they won't kick/ban you from the chat. They are there to do their job and if you misbehave, they will take action.
