This forum is on 'international' territory; therefore we have our own code of conduct. All forums are moderated but this site relies on the cooperation of many different cultural, religious and ethnic groups.

If others go against these rules and you feel offended, troubled or attacked, then it is our task to take appropriate measures. Contact any one of our moderators immediately in this case.

By using this site you agree to the following basic guidelines and fundamentals. Please read them: 

The moderators and administrators are responsible for right and order. Show respect and be nice to them.

1) You certify that you are 13 years of age or over. All individuals under the age of 13 years will need a full release form from their parents before posting. This is to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 2000 (COPPA).

2) You may express any view you wish, as long as it's not hateful or intentionally malicious. We will delete racist, sexist, politically or religiously inflammatory posts immediately (without question, or discussion)

3) If you disagree with a view expressed and wish to reply, do so in a civil manner, remember to represent your view with an informed diplomacy.

4) Please keep your posts clean of personal vendettas and also asking for cybersex or phone sex or to meet for sex is not allowed! Soliciting will be banned!

5) No attacks, flaming or cursing. We want to keep this forum safe for the younger among us; plus it only shows a lack of vocabulary (obvious really)

6) Posts may be removed for any number of reasons; please keep your posting on topic and relevant to the thread you are in. If you wish to start a new discussion, or change the subject, please post a new thread in the appropriate forum.

7) Nicknames that we feel are promotional, inflammatory, vulgar, or rude will be removed.

8) All groups are moderated for foul language and commercialised promotional posts.

9) Always be respectful of other users, the system, and the moderators. We put the system online in good faith; please use it in good faith.

10) Be descriptive, specific, and succinct in your postings. This way your opinion and point is clearly understood and referenced. Remember, people from all over the world read here with English as a second language.

11) You agree not to hold thechatpage.com or its members liable for anything stated within the forums.

12) Signing up a user name that is an obvious domain name or product name will be removed. This is out of unfair promotion considerations as well as trademark implications.

13) The forums are not a venue for advertisements in any way. It will be the sole discretion of thechatpage.com and its moderators as to what constitutes an advertisement.

14) Self promotional URL drops and whisper campaigns are strictly forbidden within the forums and will be edited out.

15) For our part we will do our best to protect your privacy and respect your posts. We will not edit or otherwise misrepresent what you write without cause.

16) When posting copyrighted material make sure to credit the author. Otherwise the content may be deleted.

17) Avatars and pictures you are uploading must be in good taste, without promoting political or religious views, and appropriate for family viewing. The decision to remove an inappropriate avatar or picture rests with the moderators. 

18) Please do not add personal details such as email addresses, phone numbers etc. in posts. We will end up removing these for your own protection. Add them to your profile.

19) Only register with one username, we frown upon members having multiple nicks as this can get confusing and other members might feel deceived.

20) If we get requests from members, or feel like you might not be representing yourself correctly with the photo you have uploaded, we may at any point request you to read this and follow the instructions so we can be sure that you are not representing someone else. Refusal to do so will possibly result in us removing the photos in question.
To avoid this, if the photo is NOT of you, please mention it in the description of the photo.

General Chat Guidelines

• Our chat guidelines basically follow our guidelines for the forums.
• Our number one rule is to write in English only since this is a global chat and we want to give everyone the chance to participate.
• Also, please refrain from using only CAPITAL letters.
• If you don't want to be ignored, use proper English. This includes capitalization, punctuation, and not using abbreviations or 1337-speak (example: hw r u?). The same goes for posting in the forum if you want to be taken seriously. If you are unsure of your spelling, there is online help available at Dictionary.com. Dictionary.com also provides a thesaurus, so you can try using different words in your sentences.
  

IMPORTANT: Excessive and annoying use of improper English (example: hw r u?) is not allowed. Posts of that type will be edited or deleted. The decision to deem something as excessive or annoying rests with the moderators.

TheChatPage team reserves the right to ban any participant from the chat rooms for violating any of the rules above.

We reserve the right to edit any and all content that has been placed on thechatpage.com.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Service from time to time without notice and are retro active.
