Help Rules

Edit-icon.png
xat Help is a chat for users to get instant help with their chat box. In this chat, you must abide by these rules (the general idea of the rule is put in bold). This makes it a safe and clean environment for all users to get help and not be offended.
1. Helping comes before all.
General topics are allowed but helping takes top priority. If general topics are deemed disruptive to helping, you may be asked to keep it quieter or take it to private chat.
2. Be respectful.
Don't say anything that may offend someone, including "flaming" a person, group, race, chat etc.
3. Be appropriate.
No sexual pictures, names, etc. No bad smiley combinations. No flirting. No swearing. No discussing unlawful drugs (US/UK law).
4. Don't advertise.
Whether it be a site or chat that belongs to you, a friend, or anything else not "mainstream." Linking to Youtube or an image is fine (as long as the video/image is appropriate). Having advertisements in your status is allowed as long as they abide by the other rules.
5. Don't impersonate.
Don't impersonate xat staff, volunteers.
6. Don't request a higher rank.
Asking for member/mod/owner is not allowed and will be seen as an annoyance. You must earn your position, you can find out how to do so here.
7. English only.
The only language that is acceptable here is English (unless you are using the translator). Mods/owners can boot to the appropriate help chat if necessary.
8. No begging/asking.
Begging for xats, days, or powers will not be tolerated. You can either purchase your xats or enter contests hosted on forums.
9. Don't spam.
Smiley spam is over three smilies in a message, or over six in name. Saying one sentence in several messages is considered flooding. You may add extra characters to a word as long as it doesn't take up space (abusing this is a bannable offense). Also DO NOT tickle spam (constantly clicking a user). Constantly erasing doodle is also a bannable offense.
10. Give staff respect.
The staff of Help are volunteering their time to help out and keep the chat clean. If you're saying one of the mods is bad, or publicly ranting about something bad the mods did, that is a bannable offense. If they're not answering you, ask another mod. If you have a genuine report for the main owner, you may submit one here (ALL messages are read).
11. Don't lie.
If there's evidence you're faking reports on anybody on Help, you'll be punished. You're also not allowed to give any kind of false information while helping.
12. No selling/trading:
All Trading should happen on http://xat.com/Trade with the exception of buying days. You can ask to buy a day if you are all out (~13 xats). Always use the Trading application. Selling xats/powers/IDs/graphics is not allowed in main chat, but okay in status. You are not able to sell anything in Help for off-site currency e.g. cash.
13. No drama/disruption.
Any form of disruption or drama will not be tolerated. This rule is left up to mods/owners discretion.
14. Don't troll.
Only ask xat related questions. This is xat Help. You're also not allowed to constantly ask the same question after answered.
15. Do not use a blank name.
Users must be using a NAME at all times, this can cause confusion and disruption.
16. Obey the xat Terms of Service.
Failure to do so will result in a ban. The major ones here are exposing personal information, abusing/teaching glitches, or phishing/scamming. Also do not discuss, link to, or otherwise mention private servers.
17. No discussion of hacking.
The discussion of hacking is strictly prohibited. Note that saying "I was hacked" is not a bannable offense as it is not actually discussing hacking. This rule is left up to mods/owners discretion. Further clarification on this rule can be found here.
18. Mods/owners have final say in classifying offensive words.
Due to the nature of the English language, it is not possible to list every offensive term/phrase that you are not able to use. For minor words, you will be warned verbally or with a kick, based on the judgment of the moderators or owners. We request that you change your name immediately if it contains the word/phrase. If you feel it is not a valid kick, please change your name anyway, and then wait until someone with a higher rank signs in, and request to speak with them about the matter in private. If you are correct, the moderator/owner will be informed for next time. Never cause a scene about it just because you disagree with their opinion.
THE OWNERS / MAIN OWNERS OF HELP RESERVE THE RIGHT TO BAN YOU FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME FOR ANY REASON WITH NO CONTACT TO YOU.
