1. Be Respectful. Personal insults, threats, or attacks on someone , are not tolerated.

2. Try to avoid talking about religion. These conversations tend to get heated so be warned. Do not preach or witness in the room. Your religion and beliefs are no more important or special than anyone else's. Spreading your propaganda will get you nowhere but banned.

3a. No Spamming. This includes repeated postings of text, use of the bold feature, pictures, emoticons, smilies, avatars, links, websites, and porn. Those who do will be warned. If that doesn't work, you get banned.

3b. NO CAPS LOCK! If you do, first time you get a warning, second a kick, third will be suspension. This however, does NOT include the occasional outburst of emotional expressiveness.

3c. No cyber. It's annoying and gross, if you must do it, do it elsewhere.

4. Let the higher-ups do their job. Don't argue, and don't tell them how to do their job. They've been promoted for a reason. It is their job to enforce the rules, not yours. If no one is around to do it log the chat and send it to me.

5. No A/S/L checks. These are rude and annoying. If you want to know that information, check everyone's main user page, that's why we have them. If that information is not on their pages, that means they don't want you to know.

6. Profanity, cursing, swearing, foul language, is allowed. Except if it conflicts with rule #1.

7. English only! First non-English will result in a warning, if that doesn't work, you'll be banned.

8. Shut off your away message if you are going to chat. If you continue chatting with your a/m set, you will be warned first, then kicked, and if that doesn't work, it's limbo for you. It's annoying, distracting, and just plain rude to have your message keep popping up.

9. No multiple accounts. If you are caught doing so, your main and sub accounts will be permanently banned. Do not create more accounts to get around a ban.

10.Don't beg for attention. It's annoying and rude to do so. Remember, this is an art website, if no one's talking it's probably because they're doing something else. (like art)

11. No advertising other chatrooms. You'll be warned, then kicked, then suspended if you repeatedly do this. popping into the room to advertise a chatroom will end in a banning.

12.Don't ask about being promoted. It'll happen when it happens.

13.No role-playing. There are rooms for that already.

14.Don't bug the Ops team.

15.Idling is allowed, but in moderation. More than two hours and you'll be kicked. (members need not worry)

16.Try and limit your AMIP displays.

17.Any bots that come in without permission will be banned immediately.
