This Chat System On Here Is Messed Up
Ok tonight my friend and I were in the "teen help" chat room and I had a problem with my friend and all (that's another issue in itself) and I was talking to her about it and all and I got banned by rule number 8. Okay I'm gonna tell you people that it isn't any of your business what I talk about in a private chat and how can you tell me that I need to speak to a mentor when these people DON'T even know me! That is messed up and just because I didn't talk with them doesn't give them any right to ban me or my friend! This chat room will NEVER be used by me again. I think it's stupid and the rule are very childish! Just because I don't want to open up to someone I don't know I get banned wow that's a great reason to get banned for sure! Just thought I'd let you know that it's not allowed to talk to others in the private chat on the chat room about your problems so if you have a problem you better talk to the mentor. Then it said I talked about religious issues. Well excuse me I said that abortion was a sin big deal I'm proud to stand up for what I believe in and so should everyone else! I'm done now so goodbye stupid chat I'll discuss my problems somewhere else!!!!!

Re: This Chat System On Here Is Messed Up
I have often found some of the rules in there very unnesessary and deficient. I say that because I feel like the rules lack the actual 'helping part'. I think that some of them are just there so that people can be like 'hey look, something to do in this boring chat room...lets ban her!' Hahaha...Yeah. Do you remember who banned you?

I had the notion that you'd make me forget the world...But your undecisive mind shows me that you are "just another guyl"...I had the feeling that those looks you gave me were real...What if I ripped your heart apart at the seams maybe then you'd know how I feel...
But that day will most likely never come for me
And it's just my luck to end up getting stuck
... to everything you are...

Re: This Chat System On Here Is Messed Up
I've had a chat in the main channel with 2 people there all trying to help 1 user. Had that rule not been there, this 1 user would NOT have got good advice.Originally posted by appyjdawg@Nov 30 2003, 11:17 PM

The user had a question about unprotected Sex and pregnancy. The 2 people helping her out were aged 17, female, and aged 16 male. The female said that "you can't get pregnant if he doesn't cum inside you unprotected. Anything else and you are 100% safe." The male reinforced her statement and said "ya, if you have sex unprotected, just make sure he doesnt bust in you and you will be fine".
I WAS AMAZED AT THIS.
I jumped in and said you CAN get pregnant from unprotected sex regardless, and showed that these 2 were wrong. the 2 were AMAZED that they were wrong as they "knew" that what they said was correct.
THIS IS WHY THE RULE 8 IS IN PLACE.... had these 2 talked to the user in private, they would have given this person 2 very wrong, and very scary pieces of advice.

Although I agree with you over the Sex question in the chatroom not all convosations in pm are going to end up like that and by banning any type of help even between friends could just make the problem worse, and does rule 8 mean private messages are monitored?

Re: This Chat System On Here Is Messed Up
Yeah they seem a little strict from what u guys are saying, but i never go into the chatroom so im not sure how everything works.

Re: This Chat System On Here Is Messed Up
No, it would be an overwhelming task to monitor all PMs, however anyone can tell if you are talking somewhere other than the main chat, which includes a PM and through process of elimination cut down what else you could be doing. According to the rule PMs to friends are not against the rules, only if you are trying to help them out with things that they should be talking to a mentor for.Originally posted by Lowest@Dec 1 2003, 11:42 AM

The only rules I have had problems with are 13 and 11, but only in certain situations, they certaintly do have their place in other situations.
