VIP Conduit Guidelines
Welcome, everyone to VIP Conduit.com. We are delighted to have you join
us and participate in our chat site. We hope your visit here is fun and
meaningful and that you will return many times. While we will make every
effort to keep our policy statement as concise as possible, we are a
work in progress and there may be additions made from time to time. We,
therefore, suggest an occasional review of this document.
VIP Conduit is an audio chat site and a microphone is required for
participation in our chat rooms.
All board members, moderators, tech team members and event hosts, must
be supporting members of VIP Conduit. When in one of our family chat
rooms, keep in mind that there are no age restrictions here and children
may be using it as well as older adults. No profanity or inappropriate
adult topics in these rooms please!
Adult Rooms
Conversations in the adult rooms are less restrictive both in content
and language. Harassment of any kind is unacceptable in any room and
behavior of that type will be considered grounds for review of your
membership by our Management Group. Examples of harassment include, but
are not limited to, repeatedly following someone from room to room,
making any statement that could be considered to be intimidating or
threatening. Explicitly sexual or X rated conversation is not
permissible in any of our rooms. Our goal is to provide a comfortable
chat environment for all and we feel this can be best reached by mutual
respect and consideration from all participants.
Privacy And The Use Of Our chat Rooms
At VIP Conduit we think that our members expect that when they enter one
of our chat rooms they can be confident that the people they see in the
room are the only ones that are aware of the activities in the room they
have entered. Therefore no VIP Conduit member may cross connect our
chat rooms with another VOIP service such as Skype, MSN or chat rooms on
other sites nor may they make it possible for people in other locations
who are not in the chat room to monitor that chat room. Additionally,
no VIP Conduit member may enter one of our chat rooms when he or she is
already in another chat room. The above rules may be waived if the
member has received prior permission from the VIP Conduit board.
