Chat Room Guidelines

Your use of the chat facility on www.quizfactor.com is subject to the link to Terms And Conditions
Please respect the Chat Moderators (“Moderators”) they are there to make your visit an enjoyable one.
Moderators will not take sides when players argue. They will offer help if needed, but all Moderators are asked to remain neutral.
When the chat room is busy, please have patience with the Moderators as they cannot answer all questions at once.
If someone is having a lucky day and you’re not doing so well, don’t give them a hard time. We all have lucky days as well as bad ones.
When in the chat room please refrain from using bad language, making racial remarks, chatting up or making sexual remarks to other players.
When a new player comes in to chat, try to make them feel welcome. Don’t give them a hard time for asking questions. We’ve all been new once.
The Moderators will remove anyone from chat who does not respect other participants.
Keep your personal information private. Players who post their email addresses, telephone numbers, bank information or address in a chat room will be removed from chat without discussion.
If you are not in agreement with someone, just agree to disagree and move on.
Sometimes we say things we don’t mean or it comes out wrong. Just think about how your comments will be received. Will it sound rude? Will it cause offence?
Please do not use profanity or expressions of obscenity, sexism, racism, and other types of prejudice. Use of such terms will result in you being banned without any discussion or warning.
Don’t “spam” the rooms with multiple postings, commercial solicitations or links to other sites. This will result in an immediate ban.
You are responsible for your discussions and the information you provide to other players. The Company will not be held responsible for problems arising from your correspondences and dealings in the rooms.
You may be required to change your name if it is offensive, rude or unsuitable.
