10 top tips for using chat rooms.

Useing chat rooms can be a very fun and entertaining past time. You can meet many nice and genuine people from all corners of the world but you need to have your wits about you and be on your guard. Heres a list of 10 top tips to keep you one step ahead.

1.Never arrange to meet a stranger in person you have been in contact with on line no matter how long you've been chatting to them for unless accompanied by an adult. If the person disagrees with this arrangement or wants to meet you alone stay well clear.

2. When you sign into a chat room always use a nickname and use different nicknames with each chat room you use as an extra precaution,

3.If other chatters ask to meet in a private chat room always be on your guard. If they don't want to type messages in the main chat room then they have something they don't want others to see them typing

4.Never give your personal information while chatting online. This includes your real name, home phone or cell/mobile phone number, Email address, passwords, or bank details etc.

5.Be careful when someone your chatting to wants to send you a file. This is best to avoid as they could be sending you an file/application that can view your web-cam without your permission or hack into your machine and obtain your personal details.

6. Most chat room has the facility in the preferences section to save all your chat history. Make sure you activate this! 

7. If someone is sending you strange ,rude, or obscene messages report them at once to the chat room moderators. Most chat clients do have the facility to report such abuse.

8 If you feel uncomfortable chatting to someone or there sending you weird messages or requests you have the option to block them, but beware these people can easily obtain another I.D (user name) and will try to continue there conversations with you in another name.

9 Almost every chat-room has it's own way you can expressing your feelings.. Here's a few examples :) Happy Face :( Sad Face ;) Winking :-) Happy with nose :-D Big smile. :) little smile :-O Shocked :-P Stick Tongue out, ;) winking. There are also many abbreviations to make typing easier which are....ttyl, talk to you later.. brb, be right back.. lol, laugh out loud. gtg, got to go, jk, just kidding.... There are very many so don't worry if you don't know at first and don't be afraid to ask. you will soon pick them up very easily.

10 Remember, when someone describes them self as a funny person. Remember, there's funny as in humorous! and funny as in weird!!

Keep Safe!
