Rules
The EliteZoo Network has to accommodate many people of different personalities, and disagreement or dislike is inevitable. It is your job to keep them from disrupting other peoples good time:
Users are expected to be civil, and sociable, even when they strongly differ with others.
There will be heated disputes at times, and that is normal for chat. But if they go on too long, or start winding people up too much, they should be taken private, or dropped, and users are quite within their right to ask for the subject to be dropped if it is significantly disruptive.
Users who feel a dispute is happening or may happen that could involve them, are expected to help it cool down, build bridges, and at the worst to act maturely by leaving for an hour, or letting others know civilly and without argument they are dropping off the subject.
Users feeling a discussion is not enjoyable to the lobby are advised to say so - once, calmly, or leave, or ask a staff member to watch the chat and ensure it stays enjoyable.
Any staff member may ask a particular person to withdraw from a discussion in the lobby, if it seems they are getting too wound up in it, or ask all users to change or drop the subject in the lobby.
Chat operates a "warn then temp-ban" policy. You will generally be asked once nicely, then forcibly removed for a short period. This is not a punishment, and when your ban is up you are welcome back. It is to encourage people to chill and listen to staff who must manage the channel for the benefit of all users. It also gives us a way to handle minor infractions and borderline annoyances better, rather than having to ignore them till they get big.
Longer bans or more serious consideration is given to major anti-social behavior - virus passing, harassment (especially in private), persistent emotional games or other immature conduct, significant repeat problem behavior, and so on, at staff discretion.
Official ZetaSpace.org Chat Rooms:
Lobby - Meet and mingle there. Converse about anything casual, but conduct yourself as though you were in the lobby of a large public building. Do not shout, fight, have sex, or block other people from using it. Light foreplay type yiffing in greeting is ok. For example: "Fjord_Stallion mounts Study Stallion in greeting" or Stripes molests Stallions_Mare in greeting" are two examples that ARE acceptable. The following two examples ARE NOT acceptable: "Fjord_Stallion drops his cock from his sheath and mounts StuddyStallion and shoves his cock up StuddyStallions ass" or "Stripes grabs Stallions_Mare and starts to rub her pussy and then spreads her lips and fists her". If the Chat Ops say you are taking it to far... Then YOU ARE TAKING IT TO FAR.
The following rooms are for more in depth discussion of topics regarding different species or more in depth sexual discussion.
· Stables - For Equine related discussion
· Kennels - For Canine related discussion
· BarnYard - For all other barn yard critters discussion
· Yiffing - For hardcore yiffing or sex acts
· ZooRaunch - Reserved for the members of the ZooRaunch sub forum.
· Inferno - for more heated debates. This is similar to the Inferno ZetaForum.org forum. The moderators will not stop heated debates in this room. However the basic The EliteZoo Network Guidelines still apply.
MISC Chat Guidelines:
You can make your own room. Rooms are free! Take the intense stuff to a private room. You can be active in more than one room at a time. That way you can have your cake, eat it too, and not throw it in everyone elses face.
If you are asked to move to a private room, you should. If the asker is staff, you will.
If there is a registered room for the particular topic you want, you will be better off using it. The "All Rooms" window in ZetaSPace.org chat will show you all rooms that can be joined. Please note that some rooms may be restricted access and require a password or invite to join. Remember that you can still be active in the main channel.
