9. If it shouldn't be viewed by minors, then it shouldn’t be posted to the forums or chat rooms. This is a public, family-friendly forum. In addition, if something would not be considered “work safe” (to a boss or co-worker), then it shouldn’t be posted.

11. Chat Conduct: The forum rules also apply to the chat room. The chat chairs have authority during their chat meeting times in the meeting room. Please respect their decisions during chat meetings and do not disrupt the meetings. If you have a problem contact a chat moderator or forum leader. If you do not wish to attend the chat meeting please move to another room to continue open chat.

(...) If someone in chat is violating the forum rules please contact a forum leader to assist you.

Instant private messages in chat are not private and can be read if we review the chat transcripts. There is no way around that. If you want your private messages to remain private please use the private message system on the forums to communicate with each other. The forum private messages are private. The only way we can access them is to sign into your account by changing your password. This only happens on very rare occasions after banning a member or troll when we feel there may be a real threat to other members or the forums.

If a member reports a private message on the forums a copy will be read by administrators.
