GHB Addiction and Withdrawal Chat Instructions & Rules 

Instructions:

To Chat: simply enter what you wish to say in the blank, then hit the "Say It!" button, or press the Return key.

The page automatically refreshes periodically, but you may press the "Refresh" button to force the page to display the newest messages.

Commands: The following special commands are recognized:

Whisper: Whispering allows you to say something privately to another chatter. Other chatters will see you whispering, but they can't hear what you're saying. Enter your message like "/w Handle Message".
For instance, entering:

/w Bob How are you?
(and press "Say It!", or the Return key) Sends the message "How are you?" privately to Bob. No one else will be able to see what you said.

Ignore: If someone is being a pest, you may simply ignore them. Enter the command "/i Handle" to ignore a specific person.
For example:

/i Bob
(and press "Say It!" or the Return key)
Will filter out all messages from Bob. Bob can talk all he wants, but you can't hear him.

Un-ignore: This allows you to stop ignoring someone. This command has the form "/u Handle".
For example:

/u Bob
(and press "Say It!" or the Return key)
Will allow you to once again hear what Bob is saying. (If you weren't really ignoring Bob in the first place, this has no effect)

Action: The action command lets you describe what you are doing. The command has the form "/a what you are doing".
For example (assuming your handle is Bob), entering:

/a taps his foot impatiently
(and hitting "Say It!" or the Return key)
causes the screen to display:
** Bob taps his foot impatiently ** , allowing everyone to know what you are up to.

Images: Certain built-in images are allowed to be inserted in the chat room. Unlike other commands, you can insert images anywhere in your message. images have the form "//ImageName".
For example, entering:

I have an //light
(and pressing "Say It!" or the Return key)
Produces:
Bob: : I have an *(light)*

 Enforcing Chat Rules and Regulations
A number of individuals have been assigned the task of monitoring the chat room

These monitors have the right to decide whether or not questionable material is inappropriate, and to take appropriate action if necessary.

Standard policy for monitors suggests two warnings to the individual(s) in question before being booted. However, in extreme cases, it is the monitor's discretion as to which approach is best.<top of rules>

 Other:
  • Posting ads for commercial or non-commercial services ( including other chats ) is not permitted.
  • Flooding a room with annoying or duplicate messages or just random garbage is termed flooding and is not allowed
  • DO NOT USE ALL CAPS!
  • Serious Trouble in the Room?
    If you are experiencing trouble with a chatter, please note the chatter's handle or nickname, when the problem occurred and     email me, and I will follow up as best I can. Please feel free to click on the user's handle and select ignore.
  • DO NOT: Create chatroom nicknames that are sexually explicit, insulting to other chatters, vulgar or disrupting in anyway to the harmony of the room. We understand that beliefs may differ, but offensive User ID's are not the way to voice your stance on a given topic.
  • DO NOT: Give out personal information in a public forum. Chatrooms are great places to meet people online. However in a public chatroom you need to take basic safety precautions.
