Chat Rules

Rules
Example:
 * 1) No spam please. Large messages are allowed, as long as it isn't just 1,000 random letters. The only time that random letters are allowed would be to show fangiring.

Person 1: Oh my god, did you hear that new song? *recites lyrics*

Person 2: YES OMGGGG ASDFGHJKLRTIGHGIOVHOJF I CAN'T EVEN IT'S JUST SO AMAZING

You can also say multiple messages at once.

Example:

Person: Hey, anyone on?

Hello?

Please answer back.

It is understandable that you may feel like nobody is listening to what you have to say. You will not be kicked from chat just for feeling unwanted. You will also not be kicked for fangirling, or for explaining something in a long message.

2. Treat all users with respect. Failure to do so will result in a kick. 5 kicks will be a 2 hour ban. Ban length will increase each time.

3. Please do not link other chats. This leads to vandalism, fights, and other problems. Get permission from a staff first. Linking chats without permission will result in a kick.

4. DO NOT LINK PORN, OR ANYTHING RELATED TO THE SUBJECT. DOING SO WILL RESULT IN AN IMMEDIATE BAN.

MOST IMPORTANTLY (also applies to the rest of L.E.W.)
If you are given a warning or block, and you do not believe that it was fair, DO NOT BE AFRAID TO SPEAK UP. YOU WILL NOT BE PUNISHED FURTHER FOR ASKING QUESTIONS OR EXPLAINING WHY YOU DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE CONSEQUENCE WAS FAIR. However, please do not say anything akin to "WHAT?!?!?! NOT FAIR!!!" You must have a reason to say that it was not fair.

"I didn't know about that rule."

Whether or not this excuse is accepted depends on who you are. If you have never broken a rule, you will be let off of the hook. If you are constantly breaking rules, this excuse will not be taken. HOWEVER, if the rule is fairly new, I will believe anyone who says they did not know for up to 1 week.

Please, please, PLEASE, ask questions if you are unsure of exactly what you did wrong. If you are saying "But I didn't mean to, I was " then you will be believed most of the time, especially when it comes to the difference between complaining and trying to understand. PLEASE, speak up if you have a question or believe that it was unfair. You will not be punished for complaining if all you are doing is asking a question, or actually providing reasons why you do not think the consequence is unfair.

Here is what IS considered complaining:

"YO ALL U MODS ARE STUPID"

"WHY MUST YALL HATE MEEE"

"UUUUUGGHHHHHH"

"I HATE YOU FOR THIS"

PLEASE SPEAK UP, I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. DO NOT SUFFER THROUGH SOMETHING THAT YOU DO NOT DESERVE, JUST SPEAK UP AND USUALLY A MOD WILL UNBAN YOU AS LONG AS YOU ARE NOT COMPLAINING OR INSULTING THE STAFF.
