In order to participate in chat,
you must be subscribed to the channel
for more than five minutes.
If you follow this simple thought, you will be fine in chat:
What you write in the chat should be the same thing that you would say to Sam or another student in the class if you raised your hand and spoke.
The Do’s
Comment in English.
We love our international viewers, but Google Translate is not to where it needs to be to communicate in a wide range of languages.
Keep it to the language of the class, English!
Listen to the mods.
The mods have the ultimate ruling on all thing chat.
Exercise basic common courtesy at all times.
Don’t be a jerk. Be kind!
Share your opinion.
Yes, we would love to hear what your thoughts are.
Be respectful - imagine your grandmother is in reading every comment you write.
Have a good time!
Seriously. Have fun, ask questions, make new friends.
The Do Not’s
Do not make fun of a volunteer.
You are free to disagree with something that someone said. Do not attack them personally.
We will not tolerate any form of bullying, harassment, or cruelty towards our student volunteers.
This includes commenting on a volunteer’s looks. Positive or negative.
Comments like “He’s handsome” or “She’s beautiful” or “That is one ugly person” and any variation will be deleted.
We don’t want to know if you find someone attractive or not. Keep those thoughts to yourself.
Do not spam the chat.
This includes repeating characters, numbers, emojis, links, or self-promotional material.
Do not discriminate.
No ageism, racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, classism, etc.

Any account thought to do this will be banned permanently, no appeal will help.
