Will be lovely to see you Lyns :P
Of course Garfield.... I never could resist a big tabby!
Yes I agree GnV these guidlines are very helpful :thumbup:
I put the actual site rules up there because there were other issues that had come up in a room that does'nt have a room host and lots of questions were asked and I was told one of the other ops had abit of a tough time of it. The reason that this appeared to have happened, was that many of those people had not read the new rules and were not aware of them.
A long standing chat member who is very au fait with the workings of chat asked if it would be feasible to email every member with the new chat rules? and I did'nt know the answer to that, so I decided to do this in the meantime.

Ok Flower if you want the short answer then I'll stick my neck out and say that it is against the rules to kick someone without warning first.
If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will let me know and then I will have learned something new today :P
Nope I would definitely want to be allowed to watch the film....can't imagine having to watch Mamma Mia with slurpy gloopy noises going on behind me :shock:
I think Flower that for the sake of just a couple of minutes extra it's worth a warning just in case said member breaking the rules is new or has'nt read this or the rules.
Besides it then gives that person the chance to do it right before being kicked.
If in doubt as to whether a rule is being broken ask an op or if one is not available use discretion with common sense. Logs can always be checked in not sure situations and be dealt with later.

Just had an interesting chat with a chat user who pointed out that there had been a bit of confusion within one of the general rooms tonight regarding folk who had not read the updated rules for chat.
I thought I would post them here and also ask of anyone that reads this thread to get their friends who don't usually come into the forum to come and have a read too...or just take the time to click on the chat rules before they enter chat.

BECAUSE YOU DIED
Because you died, my life was changed
And plans I made were re-arranged
Baby things you would'nt use
Littered our home, all in two's
Because you died, my daughter came
And gave me reason to smile again
Your places, still empty, I never could fill
But she kept me busy and strenghthened my will
I still had a space though, as I'd lost two
My thoughts again were turning to you
You heard me calling and sent me a son
Your places still empty, but your siblings live on
Because you died I find I have learned
About love and compassion and heartache and hurt
A son and a daughter that can't take your places
But I see your shadows, when I look in their faces
My children are putting the tree up :bounce:
My Mum has just cooked my dinner :inlove:
We had sex this morning :rose:
No I would not allow a 22 year old man to stay here overnight with my daughter.
