We regulate any stealing of his property
And we damn good too
But you cant be any geek off the street,
Gotta be handy with the steel if you know what I mean, earn your keep!
Regulators!!! mount up!Things have gotten a trifle nuts in here lately, and it’s time we made like
Warren G and Nate D-O-Double-G. With the Cold Steel. Etc. As we want to make this place reasonably welcoming to new people.
The following rules apply immediately. The mods haven’t had a chance to discuss them yet, so they may be revised.
1)
No abuse. Disagree with people’s opinions as much as you like, but don’t get personal. A degree of leniency may be exercised where people are well known to each other, and the exception for light-hearted banter obviously applies, but it’d better be pretty darn unambiguous.
2)
Abuse of new users will be particularly negatively received.
3)
Zero tolerance of racism, sexism and homophobia appies. ‘Joking’ doesn’t legitimise it. Go
here or
here instead.
4) That said, in keeping with The Chaser’s own content, we take a broader definition of offensiveness than most places – but, as we usually try to do, you should
pick on the right targets. (See above rule.) It’s a subjective thing, sure, but we reserve the right to let our own tastes dictate the tone here.
5)
All content to be M-rated at best. Minors use this site. In particular, overtly sexual behaviour will not be permitted. The entire rest of the internet’s pervert-friendly – take it elsewhere.
6) The chatroom may appear private, but it is not.
All chats, including 'private' ones, are logged and will be reviewed in accordance with these rules. People abusing it will be banned from it, or from the entire site. Note that moderators cannot access chats or administer the chatroom in any way – only Chaser staff members can.
7) Users must
guard their personal details extremely carefully. If you are using instant messaging, set up an anonymous address. This site can’t be responsible for any details you choose to give out.
8) Members will be given
one warning if they are established members (defined as 15+ posts), and then banned for one week. Further bans may be longer or permanent.
9) Guests or members with less than 15 posts who abuse these rules will be subject to
immediate removal.
10)
This is primarily a humour site. Act consistently with that, and this will become a less intolerable place to be. We hope.
If there is a problem, report it to the moderators using the link under every post. We promise to keep any reports as anonymous as possible, but be aware that the reporter is sometimes obvious.
And if there are any issues in the chatroom, send a private message to me and/or Richy. Remember that you can't send them until you have 15 posts.
Kind regards,
The Warren to tha G
