Here are the rules for the chat laid out in point form. Under each, I will elaborate. Lastly will be explained the set up of the YP chat/mansion.


• Chat rules follow basic rules of forum etiquette.
This means no excessive cursing, do not beat on, or seemingly rule out a single person. Please try to respond kindly and courteously first. If things seem to get out of hand please head to a private channel, or take the conversation to pm.

• 3 strike system.
This means discipline for disobeying the rules of the chat is done by a three strike system. If you're told once to cease and you continue defiantly, a second warning will be given. If we have to address the issue once more that means you're out and will be kicked from the chat. If problems with a certain user in the chat persist, then that user will be banned from using the chat.

• Chat rps need to be moved to different channels.
Public chat is a place to talk about subjects that are welcome for everyone to join in on. Things that follow under the Paradise Mansion related rp are fine for the public chat. Other than, that please move rps that develop plot or end up between only two people to a different channel. This is to avoid uncomfortable situations and to keep the public chat fun and free for everyone to use. We're not perfect, but let's try to keep people from feeling left out as much as possible.

• Set up a forum rp over whispers.
A private channel is ok as well. Getting replies on ideas from another user is faster in the chat, so we can understand doing it this way if you both happen to be online, but once again to prevent people from being left out please go to a private channel or whisper. If you don't know how to whisper it's rather simple. On the right side of the chat you'll see a list of all of the users that are in a certain room or channel. Click their name to open an options menu, then click "send private message". That's how you whisper. ^.^ This rule also applies to any chat about a certain rp two people have.

The YP chat is seen as a mansion for the members to use freely. There are multiple rooms and the fridge/pantry is always magically stocked by kitchen gnomes. The mansion is located in the middle of the forest, yet somehow still has full electrical and plumbing use. Each user has their own room within this mansion and no one else can enter unless invited inside first. If there's a chat rp going on between you and another person (or group) then please move to one of your rooms so that no one will accidentally walk in on you.
