Keep in mind that this is a list compiled by chatters and is all in good humour. No offence is meant. Enjoy!
DO...
Intoduce yourself properly (this means age - sex - location, name, and anythign else we should know about you)
Relize that you ARE a newbie, and anyone that has been coming to the chat for a long time has the right to torture, brand and otherwise torment you to the fullest to see if you're worthy of returning again. (or just cause we're bored)
Listen to our warnings, if someone seems in a bad mood and we say to stay away from them. LISTEN to us, were not lying!
Pick a decent nickname, not "reboot sux" or anything like that. Cause if you come in with a name like that we will be forced to beat you then mutilate your corpse
TALK! just don't sit there silently, get bored, then decide to flood the chat!
At least TRY to make friends with people, if you come in and refuse to be nice to anyone then chances are you'll become yet another person we'll all love to hate
Relize that we know, understand, and apply the concept of IP numbers, so if you come in once and make an ass of yourself you won't get a second chance
Have fun for gawd's sakes, we're not going to crucify you if you come in and act like a nice person
Don't...
Don't come in and start dissing, insulting, disgracing or otherwise damaging the name of ReBoot or it's characters,
(ESPECIALLY meggy) because we are fans of this show and we don't need to hear you're comments against it
Don't come in under the name of a deceased german genocidal leader (you know who I mean)
Don't steal the names of anyone else on the chat in an attempt to mess with their reputations
Don't intentionally try to piss people off, you may be unlucky enough to piss off one of us violent people who are liable to tell you off/kill you and hire another person to dig a ditch to throw you're lifeless corpse
Don't Flood! I can't stress this enough! I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate HATE (yeah I really hate it) when nerbies come in and flood the chat when I'm trying to have a conversation!
Don't come in and start talking about gross stuff that you know we really don't want to hear. (not gonna give any examples for this one, just use you're common sense)
Don't act like a love starved twit and come onto every person of the opposite gender to enter the chat, this just scares the bejeezes outta us most of the time
Don't threaten people. People don't like threats most of the people here are pyschopaths who take threats as challenges, track you down and hire hitmen
Don't threaten people not to come to the chat because you're afraid they're going to steal your beloved
Don't have Cyber Sex in the open. We don't want to see it. If you absolutely have to have it, do it in private chat. TRY to at least control your hormones.
If someone asks you for your age, gender, location and/or other, and you'd rather not tell them, then be polite about it. Until the 50,000th they ask you, then tell them to get bent.
No one likes a blow hard. Don't go on and on about how wonderful you are. Unless someone asks if you have saved the world then ate breakfast, don't talk about it. If you have to talk about how great you are for people to know, then you're really not that great.
Don't try to steal other people's b.f./g.fs.
(I.E For instance, don't try to get Focusly and Femor to break up because you are 'in love' Focusly.)
If you feel an atrraction to a certain someone in the chat and they tell you that they are not interested, leave them alone and flirt silently. Don't beg them for their love. If they are taken see the above rule
Don't mess with the psychopaths unless it's in a nice, friedly way such as conversation
Don't go up against someone whom you know can kick you ASCII in a chat fight
Don't go up against someone who has the support of the entire chat in a chat fight
Don't try to take over the chat and claim it as your own
Don't try to become any kind of ruler
Don't try to commit any crimes like kidnapping and rape and so on against any of the older members. They'll kick your ass. Most of us have the support of the entire board
Just because someone doesn't have a love interest on line or in the chat doesn't mean they're single. If someone has a real life significant other, then the same rules apply
Don't try to mildly convince us the ReBoot sucks and we should turn away from ReBoot. It just isn't going to work. We're all pretty much die hard, hard chore obsessed ReBoot fanatics
Don't try to convince one person the your favorite character is better than theirs and try to 'convert' them. As is above, we're all pretty much set in our ways.
I, AndrAIa, have only one addition to the list : DO NOT forget that I am at all times the absolute boss of the chat and the message board. Do not challenge me, do not use my name. I have the means to track down anyone who is causing harm to the services provided on this page.
