Choose Language:

Here are our chat room and forum rules. Most of these "rules" are simply common sense and proper Christian conduct, but for reference here they are.

1. Nothing anti-Christian, or inappropriate for a Christian chat room or forum.

Please do not try to register any blasphemous or offensive nicknames. Also please do not engage in any blasphemous, profane, or improper talk, or any talk that is offensive to our Christian community.

Also, please don't post any inappropriate links in your chat profile or in the forums, or in the chat rooms (e.g., links to anti-Christian sites, sites with inappropriate content, sites promoting other religions, cults, or doctrines contrary to the Bible).

Also, photos in chat profiles should be with appropriate clothing and not provocative.

2. No conduct that is offensive or counterproductive to fellowship.

We like to welcome all to Christian Chat, but if anyone is not here for fellowship (or for wanting to know about Christianity), but simply for disrupting fellowship, offending people, whatever, then that person is not welcome.

3. No flooding.

Please don't flood the whole chat screen with your messages.

4. English, please.

Please speak mostly English in the chat rooms so that others can understand you. At least please do not dominate the voice/video chat (or text chat) with conversation in another language.

5. No worldly music, please.

We don't want to make an absolute rule against all secular music/lyrics, but most most secular music is indeed worldly (against the teachings of the Bible), and we'd really rather have Christian music or lyrics playing (or being sung) when others enter our "Christian" chat rooms! :)

6. No unauthorized advertising or soliciting.

Please come to our chat rooms and forums for fellowship, not to try to advertise anything (not even in private messages to our chat room visitors). By "anything" we mean anything -- web sites, chat rooms, churches, groups, doctrine, etc.

Also, please understand that many users have joined our chat rooms to try to solicit donations for their own charity (or some other Christian charity). There are so many charities people claim (e.g., orphanages in India, food for Africa, etc.) and we have no way to verify these things. And besides, people don't join our chat rooms to be solicited, so please refrain.

7. Do not dispute the chat room moderators.

The moderators are there to watch over the chat rooms, promote fellowship, and protect the chat rooms when necessary. Their job is stressful enough. :-) Don't add to their stress by disputing their actions, especially if it involves someone else and not you. For example, if you see a moderator kick someone, and wonder why, don't worry about it. The moderator probably knows something you don't. Have some trust in the moderators, appreciate them, and respect their oversight of the chat rooms.

Also please don't be making posts in the forums about someone else's ban. It doesn't help!

And please understand that we don't have the time or energy to talk to a hundred different people (or even a dozen different people) about somebody else's ban. Leave it between that person and the moderator, please!

8. Please do not ask us how to become a moderator.

Sorry we don't accept requests to be a moderator; it is by invitation only.

9. Please do not register more than one chat nickname.

We prefer that every chat user have one single identity in the chat rooms and the forums.

10. Please do not hang out where you do not belong.

Please do not use the Teens chat room unless you are between 13 and 19 years old. And please do not use the Singles chat room unless you are single and 18 or older. (The other chat rooms are for general fellowship and are open to all.)

11. Please do not dominate the main room (the Lounge) with silly talk.

In the past there has been a tendency for teenagers and young adults to pile up in the main room (the Lounge) and dominate the microphone with silly talk at peak times when there are other people in the room who might like a chance to speak, or might like to discuss more serious topics. To solve this problem, we have added another chat room -- the Young Adults room -- for young adults or even teenagers or anyone who feels like a young adult. :)

12. Please let the moderators moderate.

The chat room moderators are just that: moderators. (They are not just not monitors). Please allow them to moderate (i.e., change topics, steer topics, or move discussions to other rooms).

Note: We occasionally update or add to these rules.
