Dear Members,

The chat room is here for you to enjoy getting to know your fellow ECHOVIBEZ keepers and to make new friends. To ensure that chatting at the ECHOVIBEZ chat room remains as pleasant an experience as possible, we have instituted the following rules. Please observe them while in chat. Thank you,
ECHOVIBEZENTERTAINMENT.COM Team

Chat Room Rules

No fighting or Name Calling:
You are welcome to disagree with a member, but calling them names or flaming their character is not allowed. If you have a personal issue to discuss with a member, please take it private and discuss via Private Message.

No flooding or unnecessary repetition:
Interrupting the flow of the chat sessions with the use of large fonts, repetitive typing or other forms of flooding is strictly prohibited. This makes it hard for other chatters to continue their conversation and will not be tolerated in the chat room.

No racial, religious, political, or sexually inflammatory language:
Racism and prejudice of any kind will not be tolerated. Please treat other members with respect as much as you want to be respected.

No posting of private contact information:
We ask that you do not give out personal information, e-mail address, phone numbers and home addresses. If you do so, you do this at your own risk and release ECHOVIBEZENTERTAINMENT.COM from any and all responsibility.

No advertising other websites or businesses:
Absolutely no spamming! No advertising of other websites or services will be allowed unless granted permission to do so.

No impersonating other members
Changing your chat name or creating another account to impersonate other members is strictly prohibited.

If you are harassed in anyway or see someone breaking the chat room rules, please PM a Moderator or Administrator if there isn't one in the chat room and inform them of the situation.

If you are "kicked" from the chat room:
You should return to the chat rules and read them again if you are unsure of what you did wrong.

You may log back into the chat room to ask a moderator what you did if you are still unsure, or once you've read the rules and found your error.

If you are "silenced" in the chat room:
You should return to the chat rules and read them again if you are unsure of what you did wrong.

You may still PM a moderator while silenced to discuss what you did incorrectly and negotiate an agreement to comply with the chat room rules before you are un-silenced. Until you do so, a moderator has no obligation to remove the silence from your account.

If you are banned from the chat room:
If you have been banned, chances are good that you violated a major rule, violated multiple rules or continued to violate any given rule after you had been kicked or silenced about it before.

A moderator should explain to you either in the chat room before you are banned or via private message on the forums after you are banned exactly why you were banned, unless it is felt that you knew you were doing something wrong or doing it deliberately.

Whether you are kicked, silenced, or banned for any given violation is at the discretion of the chat room moderator. All Chat room bans are for a duration deemed appropriate by the moderators, but repeat offenders may face a permanent ban.

Users who are familiar with the chat room rules will likely receive more serious action against them for violation what they know is a rule as opposed to a new user who is unfamiliar with the rules.
