  • Under no circumstance should a moderator be asked to boot someone unless they are violating a community rule. For example, booting someone in just or for fun is not acceptable. The member should explain the situation to the moderator so he/she can make an informed decision about booting or blocking someone.

  • At no time will there be discrimination against race, color, religion, age. We are all human.  Sexual preferences will not be displayed in the room.

Lurking and Soliciting:

  • There will be under no circumstance soliciting of other communities in the room, by instant message or by URL. This is a reason to be blocked so please don't do it!
  • Lurkers are allowed under the circumstance that they are an active member and that they check into the room occasionally to say hi and why they are lurking. 
  • Lurkers of new members will be allowed a 30 minute time span.  If they have joined the room  and not chatted after being approached for help by room greeters, moderators, members and by Instant Messages and still not responded, then they will be booted.  We understand that some new users do not know how to get to the group chat so we as a family will do our best to help them find there way on powwow.
  • Lurking and advertising will not be tolerated. If you join the room just to advertise a url/website then your will be removed.
  • If you are an active member please do not come in and advertise a url/website address unless you ask the members if they want it and if they say yes then you use the send url/website feature. Or files.
  • Soliciting or advertising that is not beneficial for the room is not allowed.
  • Try and ask a member before sending a member a url/website or a file.
  • If you do not know the member do not add a member as a buddy unless you request it first.
  • If you do not know a member please, do not send them a file unless you ask then first.

Additional Rules

There will be no swearing, profanity, flirting, Fighting, unkindness, rude talk, spamming, soliciting other rooms, threats, or any type of indecent behavior. Please try not to flood with repetitious numbers or letters that do not make sense,  as it makes it hard for other users to chat and also disconnects some users.  If you are going to make a macro picture ask the current users if its ok to show it.  

Under no circumstance will you harass, belittle or be unkind to the moderator's on duty with the intent to cause harm.  The moderators are there to help and under no circumstance will you cause any indirect act to cause harm/rudeness/bad language/ to the moderator, it is an immediate cause for banning. If a moderator has treated you unfairly you can email to CLick Here with your incident. 

We are not responsible for what is said or done with the personal communicator or Instant Messages or files sent.  The moderators are there to help you so feel free to ask any questions or anything and they will help you..  If there is ever any trouble please email CLick Here with the complaint and connection info of that person.  You understand that if a moderator is not in the room that you will conduct yourself as a kind and considerate person with clean chat at all times. You agree if there is no moderator and you do have troubles you will copy the connection info of that person and will send it email to CLick Here with explanation of what happened. 

If you are blocked or banned for any reason and feel you have been done so unjustly send an email to CLick Here
