|rule3d=xat test is a chat room designed for users to test powers and get the latest update, so that means there's little room for trolling, throwing shady remarks or posting inflammatory remarks. We understand that users may have light-hearted fun with being sarcastic. This is not considered trolling. However, there are some cases to look out for. If this type of behavior becomes excessive or drawn out, or if the user is being overly-obnoxious by annoying others and disrupting the chat, they may be asked to stop. Posting things for obvious shock-value (something that may be seen as highly disgusting or angering) is considered overly-obnoxious and will not be allowed and can be considered trolling. Facilitating drama is also not allowed. This should primarily discourage negative discussion about occurrences or operations at other groups, unless a user is requesting assistance for dealing with such situations.

If this type of behavior becomes excessive or drawn out, or if the user is being overly-obnoxious by annoying others and disrupting the chat, they may be asked to stop. Posting things for obvious shock-value (something that may be seen as highly disgusting or angering) is considered overly-obnoxious and will not be allowed and can be considered trolling. Facilitating drama is also not allowed. This should primarily discourage negative discussion about occurrences or operations at other groups, unless a user is requesting assistance for dealing with such situations.
