Help:Chatroom Policy

Chat is one of the features offered to users on Disney Princess Wiki. Although everyone is allowed to use chat, there are some guidelines that should be followed by all users. If you breach these guidelines, the punishment is a block by either an Administrator or Chat Moderator.

Behavior

 * Members are expected to treat others with respect.
 * No personal attacks are allowed. (To see what is considered a personal attack, please view Wikipedia's No Personal Attacks policy.)
 * Members are not to post personal information (eg. their home address, phone number etc.)
 * No disruptive behavior is aloud. (eg. spamming etc.)
 * The chat should maintain a G or PG rating at all times.
 * While sharing a video or image once in a while is allowed, posting multiple videos or images is considered Spam.
 * This also includes advertising your own website to recruit other users.

Spelling and Grammar

 * Members are expected to use proper spelling and grammar to the best of their abilities  at all times. (The occasional "brb", "lol" or "g2g/gtg" is acceptable.)

Process

 * The user gets a verbal warning in chat, politely explaining the problem with their behavior and how to fix it.
 * If the user refuses to comply with the chat policy, politely tell them that their actions will soon cause them to either:
 * Get kicked out of the chat and/or
 * Get blocked for a period of time.
