1. When you enter our channel for first time you will be asked two questions this not to pry but, to keep the channel safe. Please answer the questions. If you do not you will be kicked!
2. We do not allow anyone on a sex channel to be in #ABUSE&HEALING. You will be kicked on joining of the channel no questions asked! If you want to leave the sex channel and msg an op that you are a survivor of abuse and agree to leave the sex channel you will be allowed to return.
3. Please try and treat others with respect. Remember we are all here to help each other as a group. If you should get angry at a person on the channel please take it off of the channel, if not it will trigger the whole channel. We DON'T want people to leave because of a fight on channel. Fighting is one reason why we have to have this support channel.
4. We do NOT talk religion in open channel. This means no type of religion: God, Satan, Cults, etc. The reason being lots were abused in the of God or in the name of Satan. This type of talk could trigger the whole channel in a heart beat. If you need to talk about God and Barb is on message her. She can talk about him all day. If you want to talk about santic Abuse Jimmeo is the person to talk to.
5. Please try NOT to swear little words are allowed. The F word is NOT to be used. You will be asked not to use it. If you continue to do so you will be kicked. NEVER USE THE WORD GD. If I am there I just might kick you on the sight! That word is never to be used in channel or while speaking to me in message. You will recieve one warning if you use it again expect a one week ban.
6. There are people on the channel that have MPD/DID this means that you might see some nick changes. Some of the personalities are what we call lils. They are real children and should be treated as such. We do expect of you if you have this disorder to change your nick. (The lils might have to be taught how) Never impersonate your alters. Always be you. If you are caught you will be warned one time after that expect a ban. We do not like to ban an entire system, but if there is no way around it by talking to you, or warning you, expect it to happen. Do not come to me after saying it was not you. If your nick is being used and the one using it messes up and gets a ban under your nick there is nothing that can be done.
7. We all like to laugh and play at times. This is great but, please when a new person comes in it is best to stop. They might need help. Greet them, get to know them, they could turn out to be your best friend! remember we are here to support.
8. Always ask if it alright to hug, touch ect. Never hug M... Melissa. Some lils after getting to know you might ask for hugs or to be held if you don't like holding someone try to offer them a seat by you and talk to them.
9. We do NOT require that you splat words (ie. r*pe) We leave that up to you. We do ask if you wish to talk about a topic for adults that you let us know first. Then you will see adult topic come up. This is to give the lils a chance to leave the channel if there are any there. Don't be hurt if people leave when you are talking. The could be triggered and have to think of their own safety. We do NOT go into details of the abuse. We all know what Rape is we do NOT want to hear the details. :) If you go to far you will be asked to NOT go into details. This is to protect the channel.
10. Always ask before msg or dcc'ing a person on the channel. If you are caught msg'ing a lil and saying anything to scare them you will be warned. (they do tell) If you keep it up you will be banned.
11. There are times when all people get their feeling hurt. IF this happens tell the one that hurt you. Don't take it out on there whole system. They might have not meant it like it was said. Try to work it out with that person if you CAN'T please tell an op we will do all we can to help you work it out.
12. We are a support channel, NOT a dating channel. I have seen people meet on line and fall in love. That is great. I just ask that you do not ask anyone for a date in channel. What you do in private is up to you. But, please keep it off of the channel. If you become a couple it is good to let the channel know! But, expect some people to always ask about it.
13. Everything said here is confidential (stays here or is between us). We further agree, so long as no names are used, that each of us may discuss these matters with those closest to us (so long as they keep it confidential or to themselves).
