chat room etiquette
it has come to my attention that some members may be offended if the chat room gets a little risque. i have made a lot of great friends there and have had a lot of fun role playing, as i am sure most of you have too. it's a form of entertainment and this is an adult site. risque is to be expected, no? however, every once in a while you'll come across a dickhead or two - how do you handle it? do you take it privately or do you talk behind ppls backs? how would you handle a not-so pleasant situation and when does it need to be escalated to a moderator?

Re: chat room etiquette
I would make public right away in the chat room, cause a scene and make him/her shut up if I can, otherwise if he/she is the only one pissing everyone else off, why the heck dont you just gather your curse power and show'im the way to the deep dark place on his rear. Everythin' has limits and soon or later you have to let them know that this is place full of respectable and carrying people,but not some chat room full of 15-16 years old wierdthos...
PS: If any of you "great thinkers" is out there and feel like being mrs/mr smarty pants come and get me

Re: chat room etiquette
The chat room is for everyone to use reguardless of the topics that are discussed. Any problems that arise in there should be made known to a moderator, and it WILL be dealt with. Note the name, time, and the problem and PM it to one of us for further action. By trying to handle it yourselves, you run the risk of being warned or worse also. It is a sex site after all and that's what it's all about. Make a suggestion in the member support forum for another chat room for members that just want to BS, it's been talked about before. So until then please try and all get along as best as possible...it's in everyones best interest. As for the assholes that keep causing trouble...Their ASS is mine...then Abs...

Re: chat room etiquette
I do try and get along with everyone. However, when there is something in chat I do not care to be part of, I simply leave. No sense in staying if there is no interest, right? I should not have to explain this either. Should I?
We are all here to have fun and should not be part of something we do not care for.

Yep....this is the correct answer. But if people could all behave well just on a code of courtesy, we wouldn't need many rules at all.
If someone is creating conflict, causing problems by being rude, harrassing, etc....contact a moderator that is online at the time, if one is not online at the time, please message us with the username so that we may watch for them in the lobby, and enter chat when they are there.
We have a dozen threads on chatroom problems, do we have any suggestions that will bring about a solution? Do we need to add another room?
Use the thread, "Webnaughty wants to hear from you" in General Discussions, post a thread in the Members Support forum or both.

Re: chat room etiquette
I know that I can be a bit of a smartass in chat but I hope that if I offend anyone that they would let me know as I am just joking around. I've never caused conflict, been rude or directly said anything about anyone to my knowledge. I am a firm believer in treating others as you would have them treat you.

Re: chat room etiquette
i am in chat regularly...and have come across the "asshole" ppl only twice i think...
they were extremely rude both times...but fortunately the Lobby got more passionate and they didn't stay on for long..
so for the most part, we are self-managing the Lobby.
since over time it will reflect and represent the WN culture, which is imperfect, (really,)
chatroom etiquette is adhered to the vast percentage of the time...
I vote for bikerchick as the "WN bouncer"...she'll kick their ass!

All moderators have the "bouncer" capabilties, any problems or conflicts arise, someone just needs to message one of us...the Lev's (Gawd luv 'em!) spent a great deal of their online time monitoring the chatroom, and since I don't get much time at all to even enter the lobby, I'll take this moment to let them know how much their work there is appreciated!

Re: chat room etiquette
At anytime, that an "asshole" or rude person enters the chat room and displays offensive behavior, they will quickly learn that their behavior is unacceptable if all or most of the other chatters will just use that "ignore" feature. This could be the best deterrent, seeing that a few of these "asshole" types might leave chat when a mod warns or freezes them, but just return with much of the same when there is no longer a mod in the room to reprimand them.
(To ignore a specific person, right click on thier nickname on the list on the right side of the chatroom screen, this will get you a pop up menu,look for the "ignore" selection, to "un-ignore" someone, just click the same selections again.)

Re: chat room etiquette
while we do welcome everyone to chat, please remember that we do mostly have converstations ongoing. This is similar to tuning into a tv show or movie part way thru.
Feel free to join in and enjoy.
Also when entering chat, we say hello to everyone. It would be nice if you at least recognize this.
Thank you.

Re: chat room etiquette
This is a personal preference question. Yes, this is an Adult site and it will get quite entertaining. And yes, you will offend many. But, the best policy I have used is to know who the players are and to decide for yourself if you want to stay or not. If two people are taking up the whole chatroom, I leave and come back later. It would be nice if they went private but you are dealing with different personalities. Tolerance is required and it is difficult to please everyone. It's when they get offended that someone cuts into their fun that problems arrise...Just leave and come back later and have normal chats....The Risque will always be here. Private or not....
Hopes this helps...

Re: chat room etiquette
Was truying to explain about what may be going on in chat for new people. Some may have never been in one??
I do agree with what you say, but saying hello back isn't going to hurt either.

Re: chat room etiquette
Just a reminder....the best way to let someone know that their offensive and rude behaviour is not acceptable here, is to right click on thier name, then select "ignore"...
Of course, for a repeat offender, please contact a moderator to really get the point across to them!
Ya'all have been doing great with helping us keep abs's chatroom clean! It couldn't be done with out ya and we all try very hard to be here for ya when you need us.

Also when entering chat, we say hello to everyone. It would be nice if you at least recognize this.Yeah, and ;et's not gloss over this chatroom etiquette of saying hrllo to everyone new who enters. It's a nice way of creating a pause in ther chattroom that isnt the result of awkwardness and that practice helps to personalize a new poersons' entrancenhelps to out the bew operson at easre and learn some new names. But some peoplke have taken it a butt too dare and when I enter, sometimes I am assaiked and then subjectedto a barrage of kisses from strangers and all of this I find vcery upsetting because I
m saving myself c fofor my 4th wife wherever she may be. I don'r believe she has yet witnessws such outright lust demostrated so freely in public!
I'm certain it would just break her heart to know that I was unfaithful even back way back now when it' easyto resist temptation and the associated evils! So, pleasee try to have some consideration fgor others and respect their wishes to she qouod not apopreciate that were she to witness itm byt she hasn;t yet Thank God. ...,and you kissers out there, you know who you are! know who you are!!!!!!!!
Thank you.

I'm bumping this thread...I just want to add that along with the "ignore" feature, there is another, very usefull tool that members can use when disputes, conflicts, and offensive behaviour is present in chat.
"Save" at the bottom of the chat page...this features saves the chat session.
By doing this, you are not "snitching", causing problems, finger pointing, etc....know one in chat will know that you are saving the session.
You will be merely providing us with an accurate account so we can determine if there is a problem, exactly what the problem is and then we can go about fixing it.
You're here to enjoy, have fun, saving the session for us when there are problems means you won't have to deal with anything unpleasant, you are providing us with what we need to deal with it.
My thought here...the more members are AWARE that the chat session can be saved, the less problems there should be, lets shoot for that...

That little ignore button is a very handy button, and I use it quite often, but I might be mistaken, but If the individual exits the chat room and re-enters, the ignore button has no justice, you need to reset every time they re-enter the chat room, am I right, or did I miss something?
