Reproduced from our "Chats" page. These rules apply to the time Dr. Grohol is hosting a Q&A in the chat room only.

I need to post 6 times before I can enter chat rooms so I'm spreading myself around, leaving breadcrumbs hoping someone will find me. Yep I have to admit that I'm needy. I couldn't believe it when my psych told me that. What! I've never needed anyone in my life and I've never been lonely either. So there.
All I need is my dog, and I'm depressed as hell right now. |

I was wondering if there are any rules about what can and can not be talked about in chat? I've seen some rules scattered around here and there about other things regarding chat, but not this one. The q came up in chat earlier but I'm not sure about it.
Like it's not allowed to post about religions to much. I'm guessing same thing goes about chat? Like no reall indepth conversations as they can quickly turn into heated debates? How about political topics? Thanks  Blue __________________

The Community Guidelines apply to all areas of the community, including the chat rooms, yes.

If someone is kicked from chat for too much profanity, how long are they kicked for?

You can start attending chats immediately.
I understand we talk @ sensitive topics, profanity just doesn't help anyone or move us forward. Just triggers. This is a caring, helping community. If this Chat was hosted (ie) prepared in advanced by a Chat Leader, you may consider sending a brief apology via PM, to the Chat Leader &/or some members, if applicable.jmo Peace, Holmes Last edited by mlpHolmes; Feb 06, 2010 at 08:05 PM.. |

Thanks, but this might be different. My friend never kicked me, and he was hosting the chat. I got a warning from the chat, or something, and I held off the profanity, and then I accidentally swore and I was kicked, and now I can't go back on. I think it was one of those automatic warnings someone gets if they swear too much. But the host never kicked me out.

Dear Forgive & Forget, I have four Chats per week for almost two years. There is no automatic warning or kick out, or ban. Only a specific person present in that Chat can do the actions you spoke of. Did you save the Chat??? Did your friend? I will be happy to go through the Chat & work to unravel this mystery. Tis a puzzlement! ????? Holmes |

No I didn't save it sorry, but I was talking on PMs with the guy who was hosting the chat and he never kicked me. This has happened twice, but I have been able to get back on. If it does happen again, I will make sure to save it.

I have a thought here.....sometimes the chat servers will "split" and you will get bumped off. It happens to us all at times. Could this be what is happening to you? If so, it's just one of those frustrating things that happen now and again to the best of us

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
