C H A T   R U L E S
Our six chat rules for German are short and simple. Please read and follow them!

1. The language for our chat room is either English or German. The chat hosts understand both of these languages. Obviously, the use of German is encouraged!

2. No offensive language, vulgar nicknames, “flaming” or other anti-social behavior will be tolerated (in ANY language)! Violations of this rule may get you kicked out of the chat room.

3. Remember why you came to chat in the first place! If you’re not talking about German or in German, then you’re probably off topic. If there is a specific given topic for the session you’re in, please stick to that topic.

4. NO TYPING IN ALL CAPS in either language! Typing in all caps is considered rude and means you're shouting. We don’t raise our voices here in chat. Caps should be used only for the emphasis of a word or phrase.

5. Practice safe chatting. Do not reveal your full name, address, phone number, or email address to anyone you don’t really know—and sometimes not even then.

6. Have fun and enjoy chatting here. Viel Spaß!
