I had a “discussion” today with a chatter about chat room rules. She simply could not understand why it is not permitted, or indeed advisable, to post your actual phone number in the main room for all to see. Numerous explanations got me no where fast. It was, “well it,s my phone number I can do what I like with it” so in the end, it was, post your phone number and get booted. FFS it,s common sense surely? You post your phone number in the room for one of your cyber mates and next thing you know, the pervert who has been sitting in the room for the past hour “watching”, has gleefuly taken it down and the next thing you know you have mr heavy breather on the phone to you talking you through the karma sutra. These rules are there for YOUR safety. If you post your phone number or msn addy or personal info in the main room for ALL to see you are asking for trouble. For heavens sake show some common sense and DONT DO IT. I insist that anyone who wants to give out such info to another chatter does so in pc and NOT the main room. If you do give out your personal info to another chatter in pc however it is entirely at your own risk. We DONT advise it. Play safe, and play by the rules, for your own saftey, and show some common sense.
Some people just don’t get it *shakes head* :roll:
lol it takes all sorts eh… :lol:
I think you’ll find the rules aren’t there to prevent people posting their own phone number. They’re to prevent people posting someone elses number.
If you’re going to administer the law, the least you can do is to understand it. :wink:

Well nice to see you,ve crawled out from underneath your cider keg Owen. And it,s for both actually, their own and someone elses. Strangly enough, I do know the rules of the site, wonder why that is eh? Dummy. :wink:

For someone that doesn’t use the chatrooms he sure knows the “law” :wink:
Any fool knows it applies to both giving out your’s and someone else’s anyway. But cider tends to addle the brain cells I hear. 8)@Tory Girl wrote:

And Bat..Owen made it clear in his post that he knows you’re a chatguide..so who’s the dummy #-o :?:Whilst Owen is still sleeping off last night’s booze, let me post the wording of the message that appears at the top of EVERY room in EVERY Forum on JustChat when you first enter it…..
“Welcome to the ******* room! Chat with other Just Chat regulars but remember to keep within the site rules and NEVER give out any personal information.”
Now I know that Owen is a self-acknowledged expert in the ”law” but maybe he has a bit of a problem with reading from time to time, especially if he is a bit ‘tired’.
If a chatroom user posts their personal information in a chatroom, they are allowing ANYBODY to obtain it and are thus exposing themselves to risk. True, we can’t prevent them from doing this, if they are stupid enough to do so, as once it is typed it is there for all to read. But we can and do exercise our duty of care by advising them NEVER to do it – hence the notice quoted above.
Finally, if Owen (and others of his ilk) had to deal with only a fraction of the problems that JustChat Staff deal with when a user is grossly abused as a result of giving out personal information in a chatroom, he would be less quick with the smartarse replies.

Maybe you should be less quick off the mark with your own smartarse remarks PB. Libelling late night posters with accusations of inebriation is to measure them by your own yardstick. Nasty :twisted:
