Are offsite chatrooms protected from attacks by onsite users

Post by Triert »

If something is linked on this website for members of a club to use as a chatroom, is considered an onsite offense if an onsite user decides to go in and post objectionable images?

I asked jmt and got no answer, and seeing as the current admin who is good at making decisions no matter how unpopular they are can't come to a decision, I'm suggesting this instead.

I believe the answer is no.

Unless the chatroom is officially affiliated with Chao Island in some way or another, that is created by Mooncow or Fusion, all chatrooms posted on Chao Island are a "Link at your own risk" kind of thing and it's up to the owners of the chatroom to keep things under control.

Of course, that is just how I view things and is in no way a definite answer to your suggestion.

But aren't the new mods in control of the website now that we let go of the old ways? Shouldn't you be free to make these choices? Why choose which rules to hang onto?

That's just how I view things and how I plan on handling them until further notice.

It's generally as FoxBoy said. However in the rare circumstance that it is seen as a target of on-site bullying etc the staff may take action at their discretion.

But generally, as mentioned, it's not in our rights to punish members for what they do outside of Chao Island unless it is directly affecting other CI members/users.
