Chat room rules

This area is intended to be a place to discuss the current show topic, and as such there are rules that allow for civil discourse.

1. No proselytizing or preaching. Pretending to preach is also against the rules.

2. No disparaging comments against groups of people, i.e. no discrimination against genders, races, sexual/gender orientations, etc.
3. No lewd content or suggestions, especially in reference to the hosts or crew.
4. No spam posting. 
5. No obnoxious writing: all-caps, repeating characters or emojis.
6. No calling for the hosts to hang up, to move on, or take any specific action- you are welcome to email in with suggestions.
7. No complaining about moderation in chat. Disagreements, suggestions or suspected mistakes may be communicated via the show email (tv@atheist-community.org).
8. No impersonating other people: show hosts, crew, moderators, or famous atheists / theists, or anyone else you are not.
9. No threats of violence against others nor endorsements of violence.

Transgressions MAY, at the moderator's discretion, receive a verbal warning before being kicked once. Serious and/or repeat offenses will receive a timeout or a  ban. Attempts to dance up to the edge of the rules or provoke the moderators will be considered identical to a regular transgression.
