I entered the chat room earlier today and have to wonder if I wasn't harassed by a self-identified IRC monitor. This person actually solicited my attention, and then told me I was on his "radar" for expressing myself. How do we express our fantasies without expressing our fantasies??? I have never experienced this in the chat room, and would like to know if there are rules or guidelines, beyond the normal restrictions against belligerent behavior to other members, that we should be aware of. Thanks.

Now talking in #Lobby

[Topic is 'Welcome to the Eunuch Archive Chat. This is an adult site, no minors allowed. For a list of rules, type !rules in the chat window.

Below are the rules you will receive.

1) Minors are not allowed, this is an adult site.

2) Talk of cutting/harming minors, even as fantasy, will get you banned permanently.

3) Encouraging people to harm themselves will get you banned. Suggesting mods with a medical doctor is always ok.

4) Personal attacks, flaming, ethnic bashing, derogatory remarks, harassment, or talk of politics will get you kicked.

5) While this site allows fantasy, make sure other parties know that you are just into fantasy. We also ask that you use only one nickname (with exception of theme nights). Many others that come here seek serious help and giving false information will not be tolerated

6) The system has been charged with handling all idlers. Do so at your peril.

If you do not agree to these rules, you are welcome to leave. Your continued presence in the chat signals your agreement to these rules.

I did see anyone talking about “radar” in the lobby. I did not see anything that was offence to you in the lobby.

I guess the issue happened in a private chat. Some people really do not like to be chatted with unless they say it is. Some are very strict on this if you try to contact them. You can be warned, if the complaint goes to one of the operators’.

OK. Rule 7) It is always polite to ask before sending a private message. If anyone has a problem with another person, please feel free to ask one of the moderators.

As for what is fantasy in this site is as follows. Rule 5 covers it.

Rule 5 While this site allows fantasy, make sure other parties know that you are just into fantasy. We also ask that you use only one nickname (with exception of theme nights). Many others that come here seek serious help and giving false information will not be tolerated.

If you are talking about something that is really fantasy and the other person thinks it is sincere chat. That will greatly offend many people. Many others enter the site that come here seek serious help. Giving false information will not be tolerated. They are not here to give another something to jerk off with.

The last line of the rules has you agree to our rules for this chat room.

If you do not agree to these rules, you are welcome to leave. Your continued presence in the chat signals your agreement to these rules.

I do not care what other chat rooms allow.

If you want different rules start your own chat room.

Have a good chat.

Thank you, Bobbie. I appreciate your detailed response. The exchange I mentioned occurred in private chat. Just to be clear, a self-identified monitor opened a private channel with me, asking if I needed help of any kind. It was in that channel that the radar comment, etc. took place.

I always ask up front if it's okay to private if I am initiating the exchange. Thanks, again.

Have a good chat.

I have to add one more restriction. Acting like you are a minor or one could guess you are one. Will be grounds for a ban. We are taking minors very seriously.

Do to some INTERNET restriction no acting like a kid or wanting to do something to a minor in private will also be banned.
