- Become familiar with the Chat. Once you have logged into the chat you will arrive at "Overhere/GayCanada Chat." Your computer toolbar will have four items added to the right: "Places", "Options", "Around GayCanada", and "Help". When you click on "Help", two submenus will appear: "Help Contents" and "Chat Guide" which offer information on using the chat and features of the chat.
- Avoid referring to users by their real names.
- Allow all users to make comments and ask questions. Don't try to take control of the room by flooding it with your own entries.
- Avoid direct confrontations with rude users. Either place the user/s on ignore (Chat Guide explains how to do this); report the occurrence to a GayCanada Representative if one is on line or through a Help Desk Ticket including a copied an pasted text of the offending chat; or leave the chat room.
- Don't abuse other users with threats, unwanted sexual comments or anything else that might make them uncomfortable.
- Don't use derogatory or foul language.
- Don't advertise sex based content web sites..
- To get the feel for the chat room you have entered, first observe the room without making any entries for a while before offering your own comments.
