Folks, I've said this before and I'll say it again -- the only way things change is if people report members who are breaking the rules. If members are talking socially in emotional support chat, they should be encouraged to move to another room. Give us a list of names of members who refuse to do so, and they will be warned. Enough warnings, and that member will find their chat privileges suspended.

Same is true of sex talk -- which is inappropriate for anything other than the Adult room. A little flirting here and there is okay. But if you find your topic of conversation has moved primarily into sex, you need to MOVE the conversation. It takes all of a minute to agree to change rooms.

We have zero tolerance for members who don't respect these simple rules to make chat a safe place for all.

At the end of the day, like the forums themselves, chat is what our members make of it. We provide the platform, but it's up to all of our members to use it in the way it was primarily intended -- as a place to gain emotional or mental health support.

Thanks,
DocJohn
