Emoticons & Sounds Emoticons are textual or audio representations of emotions, for conveying feelings. GRAPHICS: Certain text emoticons are recognized by SigmaChat and will automatically be translated into their graphic counterpart. To your left is a list of the presently recognized emoticons. Simply type in the text you see in the second column, and a graphic will appear in the chat room instead. For example, if you type ;) for wink, you'll see . SOUNDS: Some sounds can also be made in the chatroom, by typing the words in the right column. Please do not overuse these sounds, as it can be annoying to other chatters and you will be kicked by an admin.

You dont shout at strangers, so dont shout at us. privating = Privating people without their consent is rude. You wouldn't whisper in a stranger's ear on the street. Don't whisper in ours unless you are invited to do so. name changing = It is never any fun for the rest of the room when ppl constantly change their name specifically to confuse others, annoy others, be rude or just generally cause problems. It is confusing and creates more trouble than is neccessary for a friendly chat. So please choose a name and stick to it! swearing = This is a room for all ages to come chat and feel welcome. We would appreciate any language to be kept to a minimum and not used towards another chatter or the room itself. joining with an offensive nick = please dont join with nicknames that offend other users. This is a friendship chat for people of all ages. spamming = Do not paste websites of other places in the room. This is considered spamming. It is unsolicited advertising. email addresses = It is best not to post your email address into the room. You never know who is out there watching and might copy it down for the purpose of sending you a nasty surprise. Keep it to private with people you know. cybering = This is a friendship room. We welcome people of all ages. We would appreciate it, if this is what you are looking for that you moved onto a more adult sort of room. discriminating against others = This will not be tolerated. We are a friendship room and open our doors to people of all races, sexes, ages, religious practices, or sexual preferences. We do not tolerate discrimination against anyone for the above reasons. Flooding/ being annoying = Please do not type gibberish into the room. If you wish people to talk to you, you need to make conversation, not just type a bunch of letters line after line. Please refrain from flooding the room with lots of lines. It makes the room scroll faster and makes it harder for people who are chatting and having a good time. subjects =Please refrain from discussing religous subjects or politics. These topics do cause arguments and we prefer to keep those out of our friendly chat room. Please keep Adult jokes to a minimum and preferably not to rude. We are visited by people of all ages, including children who would not appreciate your sense of humour in these matters. repeating yourself = please refrain from continually asking people asl, or other such questions. It is everyones basic right to either refuse to answer or infact ignore this question. If they dont wish to give it out, please dont press them. Find something else to talk about. Administrators = Are here to help you. They are here to ensure that the chat is kept friendly and happy for everyone. They are not here to ensure you are personally kept entertained or to argue over decisions made with you. If you have a problem with one of the admins, please mail chathelp@friendship.com.au.

Trouble Connecting? There could be three main reasons. Click on each to learn more. Technical problems You have been banned Your internet company has been banned 1. Technical Problems If you are having difficulties getting into Friendship Chat, this will help you determine what the problem is and how to resolve it. The majority of our users have no trouble at all connecting. If you are new to the room: Ensure that your computer is capable of running our software. If you are running a version of a Microsoft Windows, or a BSD/*NIX variant ™ and see only a broken link icon, you will need to download a copy of the Java™ Virtual Machine in order to run our application. You may download Java™ Support for your browser from the link below: Sun Java™ Plugin We strongly recommend upgrading using the most modern version of your web browser available today. Certain browsers (esp. Netscape 5 and below) running on Macintosh platforms are not capable of running our software due to issues outside of our control. We recommend that Macintosh users use Netscape 7.0, or MSIE 5.x. As WebTV does not support Java™, WebTV users will not be able to access our chat rooms. We recommend that Apple Macintosh users upgrade to OS X 10.3 or later. Users behind firewalls may need to inform their local IT/network administrator to allow TCP connections on the port in use by SigmaChat. Contact your chat room owner (webmaster) to determine which server and port number this chat room has been allocated. Your chat room owner can find this information in the Help section of their chat room's control panel. SigmaChat generally uses ports 8000-8009 at client#.sigmachat.com, where # may be any integer. Additional information can be found at http://support.raidersoft.com or by contacting your chat room administrator at chathelp@friendship.com.au. - From the Raidersoft help file. If you have been able to connect before and have Java installed: Ensure that our servers are online. If we have made a recent upgrade to our chat clients or servers, you may be required to empty your web browser's cache and reload your web browser to get online. If that doesn't work, the servers may be down. Visit the Alternate Friendship Chat room until everything is fixed. AOL Members: Some users have reported that the built-in AOL browser has difficulty connecting to our service, or does not load colors/emoticons properly. To resolve this, minimize your AOL connection, and use the Internet Explorer browser that came with your operating system to access our chat rooms. Additional information for resolving common problems may be found at http://support.raidersoft.com. If all else fails, email chathelp@friendship.com.au and we'll try to help! :) 2. You have been banned Did you have a disagreement with an Admin or did an Admin warn you about your conduct directly before you left the room? Did you do anything that breached the Conduct Guidelines? If so, you may be banned from the room. If you are sorry for what happened or made a mistake, your best chance of having the ban lifted is to send an email to chathelp@friendship.com.au apologising or explaining your actions. If you honestly feel the ban was unfair after reading the conduct guidelines, you are free to send an email to Admin Debs at chathelp@friendship.com.au, including your chat name, country, date and as much as you remember of what happened. She can access the logs and will review the incident. 3. Your internet company has been banned Are you banned but don't know why? Sometimes innocent chatters have difficulty accessing the room as sometimes entire internet companies (ISPs) need to be banned to remove troublesome individuals. We only do this as a last resort and lift the ban as soon as possible :) If you find yourself in this position, email email Admin Debs at chathelp@friendship.com.au. Back to Chat Help Contents.

Friendship Chat Conduct

This line of smilies gives a fair indication of the spirit in which chatters should act! :) But because that doesn't give you much detail, below is some explanation of conduct that's better left at the door.

 Summary:

No abusive or offensive behaviour - we're a friendly room!

All welcome: no discrimination on basis of gender, race, sexuality, religion etc.

Keep safe: don't provide personal details (such as phone number or full name) or meet up in person.

Ask before contacting someone in private.

We are friendship only: keep the chat clean with no sexual talk or advances.

Username: choose one that's appropriate and stick to it to limit confusion

Please don't over-use smilies or sounds.

Honesty: please don't lie about yourself or your life circumstances.

Listen to admin advice, don't disrupt the room or advertise websites - and have fun!
Scroll down or click on each conduct for more information! :)


 Behaviour Action   Abusive/Offensive
We will not tolerate repeated abuse by insults or other offensive behaviour.
Please keep swearing in the course of conversation down to a minimum as the room is open to all ages and many parents prefer their children not be exposed to swearing. Never swear at someone else - this is offensive.

  For offensive behaviour, chatters and admin should politely ask the person to refrain. If they continue, admins may warn twice then kick from room.
For very abusive behaviour of any kind, admin may kick straight away to minimise trouble for room.

Discrimination
No sexist, racist, homophobic, etc language will be tolerated. This includes seriously degrading someone because of their race, religion, age or any other characteristic.

    Admin or chatters please tell the person that you object to what they're saying. If they continue, admins may warn, then kick.


Your Safety
The chat room is a public forum. Never give out your full name, address, telephone number, school name, or any other information that could actually identify you.
If you want to meet up with someone you met online, check their reputation with the Admins and, if you're under 18, definitely tell your parents first. Always take someone with you and meet in a public place. For more information on online safety, read our Online Safety Rules.

    Admins are there to help keep you safe in the room. If you ever feel uncomfortable for any reason, or don't know what to do, talk to an Admin or email us at chathelp@friendship.com.au.


Private Messages Some people find being addressed directly in private offensive. Please ask in public before privating anyone in the chat. If you're being privated, please try and have some tolerance, as the person may not know they're being offensive.

    For privating that is unwanted, admin and chatters please first ask politely that privating be stopped.
If it continues and increases, admin may warn twice then kick from room in necessary circumstances.

Let's (Not) Talk About Sex
'The Friendship Page Chat' means no sexual advances towards chatters, in public or private. Hint: if you're solely looking for cybersex, try another room.
Friendly jokes and banter in the main chat are of course fine. However, as our room is for all ages, please keep the public chat clean by not making direcent reference to sexual themes!
    If admin or chatters find sexual jokes offensive, or sexual advances are being made, please tell the person politely to stop it.
If graphic sexual chatting or advances continue, admin may warn then kick from room. In serious circumstances, Admin Managers may place you on a lifetime ban.

Mystery Man We've all been guilty at one time or another from joining under a different nick than the one we usually use. Please stick to your one usual name, as this makes for less confusion.
Please don't come in as two different people at the same time. Like in "real life", it's nicest to stick to the one personality!!
Please make sure the name you choose is appropriate for a friendship room containing children (eg is not offensive or sexual).
    The admins will know if you're using two names, as they can access IP addresses (your unique internet address).
If admins find you as two personalities at once, they will politely ask you in private to exit one of them.
If you use one or both of the personalities to be in any way offensive, they can warn then kick you.

Sounds & Smilies Please do not abuse the ability to use sounds and graphic smilies in the room - ie, don't repeat sounds unnecessarily. More information in Chat Help.

    If you abuse the ability to use sounds, you may be warned or kicked and banned by an admin.

Honesty Please do not lie about yourself or your life circumstances. Of course, you can keep whatever information you would like private, but we advise you not to lie to other chatters. Those making up something about their health, life or circumstances are always found out eventually. As in real life, treat your online friends as you'd want to be treated yourself.

    If you lie about your health or trick chatters into believing something significant about your life that isn't true, you may be banned by an Admin Manager. In serious circumstances, you may be placed on a lifetime ban.

Other Conduct

Joining with intent to disrupt the room

Re-joining after being warned or kicked and repeating same behaviour

Joining with graphic abusive or sexual nick

Spamming by pasting website addresses or other advertisments

    Admins and chatters must in some cases rely on their discretion. Admins have the power to ban straight away anyone who engages in this behaviour, though it is always the policy to ask nicely before taking action. Please use the admins, and tell them if a chatter is bothering you. :)

Access to Logs All the admins do not have access to the log transcript, either public or private. So don't be worried that they can see what you're saying, because they can't. Only Admin Managers can access logs.

    Admin Managers Debs, village_idiot and Berri can access the logs, but will do so in cases of a serious disturbance in the room. This enables evidence of the situation to be provided to help resolve disputes, and the public portion of the log may be circulated to involved admins.
Enforcing Conduct & Complaints Admins: The primary purpose of the admins - as well as being friendly faces - is to enforce these rules. Thus, please try to comply with their requests: they exist to help you!
Regulars: If no admin is present, we love regular chatters to help us enforce the rules. Please politely warn the user, direct them to the conduct page, contact an admin if you can or send us a report to Debs at Chat Help, (incl. name, time and incident).
When admins are present, please try to leave it to them to do their job, as confusion may otherwise result - thanks! :)


    If you have a problem with the way an admin or chatter is enforcing the rules, please do not attack them in public. Instead, talk to them in a private window.
If this does not resolve the issue, please email a complaint to Chat Help, including their name, time and incident. These will be investigated impartially and confidentially by De

Help these friends when they need you, bless the happy times when you meant a lot to each other, but try not to feel guilty if new people mean more to you, now."
Let's become little old ladies together- we'll stay up late looking at old pictures, telling "remember when" stories, and laughing till our sides ache.
Let's become eccentric together- the kind of old ladies who take long walks, wear silly hats, and get away with acting outrageous in public places.
And if anybody should ask how long we've been friends, we'll say, "Oh, forever - since before you were even born!"
Let's become little old ladies together- because a friendship that's as special as ours can only grow better through the years.
