This should be in Forum7.

I am very sorry, because i am new at this.

And in Forum7, as here, there is a moratorium on chat threads. As such, I'll be locking this one.

Welcome to NS though!

While we're at it, *** The dark brother hood 1, WARNED for spamming/reposting a prohibited thread. ***

Once again: Chat/Chat Location Threads ARE PROHIBITED.

On June 6th, an official moratorium was placed on the creation of chill/chat location threads in Forum 7. As was indicated in the original announcement of the moratorium:

"Following three months, the Moderation Team will be conducting another review of behavior within the F7 community and be deciding whether or not a phased re-introduction of chill/chat location threads may be merited."

As such, the NationStates Moderation Team has chosen to re-introduce chill/chat location threads to Forum 7 in a modified manner, ideally to provide players the opportunity to choose the future of their preferred threads themselves. The details of this re-introduction are as follows:

• There will be one permitted chill/chat location thread in Forum 7: Ram's Head Saloon. This thread will be stickied to the top of the forum and administered by the Moderation Team. The opening of any other chill/chat location threads is prohibited; attempts at doing such will result in the summary locking of said threads and punitive actions (warnings, bans, or worse depending on context and player history) against the creators. This will stand for at least three months.
  
  
• The purpose of this single, Mod-sanctioned thread is simple: this will provide players an avenue to demonstrate they are capable of coalescing as a community, are willing to engage in community policing ("Might want to tone that down a bit, Examplestan."), are unwilling to abide or tolerate rule-violating behavior, and are willing to report offending material. Players may file a Getting Help Request if they wish to maintain their confidentiality; please review the guide to making an effective GHR.
  
  
• If the Moderation Team is forced to repeatedly intercede or otherwise shown that players cannot be trusted to conduct themselves in a manner which is within the boundaries of the rules, chill/chat location threads will be indefinitely prohibited.
  
  
• Players will have one chance to demonstrate they can adhere to the rules; if they cannot, they will be permanently prohibited from posting in the thread. If a Moderator tells a player to leave, they are to leave. Refusal to do so may result in further punitive actions, such as warnings, bans, or even DEAT or a Delete-on-Sight order depending on the severity of the infraction and player history.
  
  
• Any behavior which violates the rules will not be tolerated. Any violation of the PG-13 or Offensive Material rules will be split from the thread with punitive actions to follow. Any form of erotic roleplay or cybersex is, as is site policy, forbidden and may result in the loss of your nation or more extreme measures.

Throughout Forum 7's history, there have been two moratoriums enforced against chill/chat location threads. This is unacceptable. There is absolutely no reason the Moderation Team should be forced to prohibit, wholesale, an entire category of threads. The fact this has been required twice is more than concerning. For that reason, as noted, this will be the final opportunity that the Moderation Team is willing to extend to frequenters of chill/chat location threads. Please do not prove this trust to be misplaced.

Remember: If players abuse this opportunity or otherwise demonstrate they cannot be
trusted to adhere to the rules, then chill/chat location threads will be indefinitely prohibited.
