User:Costadinos/Proposed Chat Policy

Chat is a special feature where micronationalists here convene and talk about stuff. Remember, it is NOT a right, but only a privilege. All users new to using chat are obligated to read this page.

Guidelines
If you break three of these rules in one day, you are eligible to be banned from chat for several days. Continued defiance of authority may result in further consequences at chat moderator's/admin's discretion.

Chat rules can be edited by chatmods and admins ONLY.
 * 1) Remember the golden rule! And ALWAYS obey the chatmods/admins instructions, because they know what to do. You can avoid flamewars by not bringing up controversial topics in chat.
 * 2) Use correct grammar. What? I thought it was an informal chat! Yes, this is a place for informal conversations. Although, here you are ought to use a decent level of English, as you converse with (micro)world leaders, and you would probably want to show a good image of your nation and of yourself. Bad grammar may be punishable at mod's discretion.
 * 3) Avoid spamming (copy-pasting text or links over and over). This includes writing in ALL CAPS and bringing up grievances from other sites (Ex: Hey, I vandalized this wiki yesterday...)
 * 4) Profanity being allowed, but not suggested. Excessive and targeted profanity will be punished at moderator's/admin's discretion.
 * 5) Requests for unbans WILL BE CONSIDERED! However, requests that are polite and sensible are most likely to be acted upon. The only exception to having an unban considered is if an admin, or multiple admin have informed you at least two times that your actions are punishable by no less then a permanent, or near-permaban.
 * 6) "Escaping" from chatmod's ban (leaving quickly after breaking a rule, so chatmod cannot ban you) is not prohibited. Your ban will be doubled instead.
 * 7) The general punishment process is 3 warnings/kicks --> 3 bans --> Permaban, although this rule may be waived.
 * 8) Non-micronational topics are welcomed, provided they are not controversial and don't cause . In case a mod tells to stop discussing a subject, you ought to do so.
 * 9) Lastly, follow common sense rules not listed on here. Hopefully you are mature enough to understand how to behave in a formal conversation.
