Respect. That is the golden rule.

Users must have a Chatham Islands connection. If sysadmin asks you to clarify your connection - do so or your account will be suspended or deleted. Connections can range from

• Born here
• Lived here
• Relations here
• Friends here
• Visited here
• Do business here

One account per person. If you want to run a shop - create a page, or several pages.

You must have parental consent to have a Chat account if you are under 14

Any abuse of other Chat members will result in your account being deleted - permanently.

Whilst you can promote your business, project or cause via your pages, please ensure that it is marketed positively without causing offence to the competition or opposition.

We reserve the right to suspend or delete accounts if they cause offence - without warning or discussion.

Each day our automatic spider-bots crawl the site in the background looking for flaws or errors as well as persuing traffic and conversations to make sure that they dont contain offensive or objectionable material (just like they do on Facebook) and that security of each user is maintained. If they do find such things, they are either deleted or the account is suspended or deleted - without negotiation. Dont be that person!
