We reserve the right to suspend or remove any account for any reason without refund. This page is not comprehensive since we can not envision ever possible scenario but will give an idea the sorts of things that would warrant suspension or removal of an account. We do not do so trivially but the above stated policy protects us in all situations.
Alamak Internet is not responsible in any way for user generated content in the chat and game or directly or indirectly results of chat and game contents or denial of access to the chat and game.
Please, do not share your account or password with your friends as this is cause for removal of the account without refund. If you are caught sharing your account with anyone your account will be revoked without refund. We used to allow shared accounts between family members in the same household but some people have liberal definitions of what is a "family member" and a "household".
Accounts are non-transferable and you are still obligated by the application agreement to pay us even if we suspend your account for sharing or other reasons.
You will be billed $8 for changes to your nickname but password changes are free.
Private rooms are just that, private as long as you know everyone in the room. As soon as you start summoning unknown people into the room you MAY be subjected to the rules at policies of public rooms! Illegal activites anywhere on the chat are not allowed but you forfiet any right to privacy as soon as you summon an unknown person into the room. If they complain about, record, or forward any of that information then you the maintainer of the private room (the owner of the /lock) are legally responsible and may loose your Ops privledges.
What does this mean? This means if you are carrying out any kind of illegal activity or promoting illegal activity in a private room and you summon someone in, expect to loose your Ops privledges. This includes promotion of illegal substances as long as the law still says they are illegal for anyone in the room to consume. This also includes kiddie porn or talking dirty to someone underage.
Disagreements between Operators should be resolved by private message or in a private room with other Operators to moderate. Public criticism between Operators is strongly discouraged.
Use of the chat or other pages at this site for commercial or non-commercial promotion or advertisement without prior explicit agreement by Alamak Internet is not allowed.
Granted Ops can not /kick, /ban, /summon, /unban, /post, or /img.
Operators can not create rooms for other users and leave as the new room will collapse and put the other users back on the "Doorstep".
Please be clear and precise if reporting a problem and only report if the problem appears to be consistent and not due to your provider or machine. I don't have time to respond to all questions regarding is changes by email or while working on things in the chat but if it is important enough I will post a notice.
Operators are not required to kick or ban anyone since the main point here is to have fun. Operators who do not want to police should not defend thier friends who are not following chat policies. If you do have a conflict with an Operator who is fairly enforcing chat policies you may be suspended on recommendation by the Operator Committee.
The OPERATOR COMMITTEE is composed of volunteers selected by reputation and a vote among the nominees. They read the initial complaint mail, determining the details, and then if needed recommend an address be put on the permanent ban list or warn the overzealous Operator at fault. If these do not prove satisfactory to curb the problem then the committee can recomend and enforce suspension or removal of Operator privledges.
Make sure you are fair and make impartial decisions and support free exchange of ideas within the law. Harrassment, foul language, public vulgarity, illegal subject matter, insults, and bigotry should not be tolerated.
It is best to make your own decisions or check with other Operators to get a second opinion. You can provide an explaining when you do your kick or ban to reduce the questions by other users about your actions, and don't allow yourself to get sucked into an arguement about free speech and so on. This is the internet but the machine that this chat runs on is owned by Alamak Internet and since we are pay the bills we have the right to make the rules.
