QueerClicke Chat Room Code of Conduct
- Zero Tolerance for Harassment
- Harassment includes but is not limited to: offensive verbal comments, unwanted attention, inappropriate sexual advances, and unwelcome behavior that makes others feel unsafe.
- If you experience harassment or observe it happening, contact the chat room moderators immediately.
- Respectful Debate and Discussion
- Healthy, respectful discussions are encouraged. Disagreements are natural, but keep the discourse civil. Avoid personal attacks, inflammatory language, and name-calling.
- Be open to learning and hearing perspectives from diverse backgrounds.
- Privacy and Confidentiality
- Do not share personal information about other chat members without their explicit permission. This includes names, addresses, social media accounts, and any private communications.
- Screenshots or records of conversations within the chat room should not be shared publicly without consent.
- No Spam or Self-Promotion
- Spamming the chat room with irrelevant messages, links, or advertisements is not allowed.
- Self-promotion, including posting links to personal websites or services, should only be done in designated areas or with moderator approval.
- Safe Content Sharing
- Explicit content should only be shared in spaces where it is allowed and is appropriate for the age of the community. Ensure that everyone consents to being exposed to such material before sharing.
- Triggering topics should be prefaced with warnings (e.g., discussions about mental health, trauma, etc.), and content that could distress other users must be shared with caution.
QueerClicke Chat Room Safety Guidelines
- Moderation and Reporting
- If you witness any behavior that violates the Community Guidelines, Code of Conduct, or Safety Guidelines, please use the reporting feature available on the user’s profile. This allows the site moderators to review the issue and take appropriate action.
- Chat room creators are not site moderators and do not have the authority to enforce rules or manage user behavior. They should also use the reporting feature if they notice violations.
- Personal Safety
- Protect your own privacy by avoiding sharing too much personal information in the chat room. Do not disclose sensitive details such as your home address, phone number, or financial information.
- Be cautious when meeting someone from the chat in person. If you choose to meet, ensure it is in a safe and public environment, and let someone you trust know where you are going.
- Mental Health and Well-being
- Be mindful of the impact conversations may have on others’ mental health. If someone seems distressed or asks to change the topic, please respect their request.
- There may be members dealing with mental health issues, and while it's important to be supportive, avoid giving unsolicited medical advice. Encourage them to seek professional help where necessary.
- No Doxxing or Outing
- Doxxing (revealing personal information about someone without their consent) and outing (disclosing someone's gender identity or sexual orientation without permission) are strictly forbidden. This can endanger lives and will result in immediate banning.
- Safe Reporting of Abuse
- If you feel uncomfortable, unsafe, or violated within the chat room, reach out to the moderators for assistance. Your safety is our priority, and we are here to listen and help.
- All users are encouraged to report any behavior that threatens the integrity of the space. Reports will remain anonymous unless otherwise stated by the reporter.

- Warning from the moderators.
- Temporary suspension from accessing the website.
