- All users are expected to keep a civil manner when talking. Do not say anything that may offend a user, and keep swearing to a bare minimum. If a user shows exceptional profanity or disrespect, report it to a Chat Moderator or Administrator immediately to deal with the situation.
- All users must show respect to one another and especially towards the more noticeable members of the community. This includes users of high rank (Administrators and Chat Moderators) and those of high edit counts or experience.
- Normal Users have no authority to tell the higher rank users what to do, and will be given a warning if they do so. Users are not allowed to harass people based on their gender, if they say they are Male or Female, don't argue with them. Any user not following this rule will be given a warning and possibly a ban if they continue.
