Adminstrators Guidelines

Respect the microphone. There is a difference between the mic and text. If a person is being obnoxious in text - using derogatory terms, bigotry and/or racial epitaphs, simply remind the room members that they control the text. Though I do not engage or attempt to use such language to entice others with, I want the room to free flow as much as possible.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ADMINISTRATORS OF THE ROOM, TO ENCOURAGE THE PEOPLE IN THE ROOM OF THE USAGE OF THE IGNORE BUTTON ON TEXT ISSUES. WE DO HAVE TO CONTROL THE MIC. THE MICROPHONE IS TO BE RESPECTED. THE TEXT IS THE POWER OF THE INDIVIDUAL. USE IGNORE!!!

RED DOTTING MICROPHONE VIOLATIONS - DO NOT BE TOO QUICK ON THE TRIGGER. THE THREE MINUTE RULE SHOULD SUFFICE FOR MOST CONVERSATIONS. IF A PERSON IS GOING BEYOND IT, TELL THEM TO WRAP IT UP AND THEN RAISE THEIR HAND AGAIN.

IF A PERSON USES ANY DEROGATORY TERM, BIGOTED, OR RACIAL EPITAPHS WHILE ON MIC, ENCOURAGE THEM TO USE OTHER WORDS THAT ARE LESS OFFENSIVE. WE ALL HAVE TIMES THAT WE MAY SLIP UP ON SUCH WORDS, BUT TO USE THE WORDS TO PROVE A POINT IS NOT NECESSARY. WE GET THE GIST. ADMINS USE YOUR JUDGMENT ON THIS RULE. ONCE AGAIN, DO NOT BE TO QUICK TO PULL THE TRIGGER.

IF A RED DOT IS WARRANTED, AFTER CONTINUED WARNINGS, THEN DO NOT ALLOW IT TO LAST BEYOND THREE MINUTES. IF A SECOND RED DOT IS WARRANTED, THEN DO NOT ALLOW IT TO GO BEYOND TEN MINUTES. ONLY THE ADMIN THAT PUT THE DOT ON IS THE ONE TO REMOVE THE DOT. DO NOT GO DOT CRAZY - AND HAVE AN EXPLANATION FOR ME, WHY YOU DOTTED AN INDIVIDUAL.

I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE THE DOT TO BE USED MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE THE NEXT IS EVEN THOUGHT!

BOUNCE/ BAN - IN THE CASE OF TEXT FLOODING, A BOUNCE WILL BE IMMEDIATELY, IF THE PERSON DOES NOT RESPOND TO WARNINGS BEING GIVEN. FLOODING WILL NOT BE ALLOWED IN TEXT. IF THE PERSON IS A HABITUAL FLOODER. A PERMANENT BAN WILL BE PLACED UPON THEM.

OTHERWISE, IF A PERSON IS BOUNCED, TOMORROW IS A NEW DAY - AND THE BOUNCE/BAN WILL BE LIFTED.

IF IT COMES TO A BOUNCE/ BAN BY AN ADMIN - YOU BETTER HAVE A GREAT FUCKING REASON FOR IT.

THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS ESSENTIAL. I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO BE THEMSELVES. AND AS ADULTS, I HOPE YOU WILL RESPECT ONE ANOTHER BY USING YOUR OWN JUDGMENT WHILE IN THE ROOM. THIS GOES FOR THE PARTICIPANTS AS WELL AS AMINS. THE MAJORITY OF US KNOW EACH OTHER. IF YOU CANNOT MAKE IT IN THIS ROOM, I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO UNINSTALL PALTALK BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE IN MOST ROOMS!!!

THIS IS NOT AN INSULT ROOM, PER SE!! PLAYFUL TEASING IS ALLOWED - KNOW THE BOUNDARIES OF OTHERS.

THE KEY IS TO RESPECT EACH OTHER!!!
