1) No graphic language. (Any profanity above "crap" or "this sucks" or comments that are sexual, racist, or purposely offense in nature.) 2) If a user abuses these rules, they should immediately be reported to an admin. Everyone gets ONE warning. After than, a ban from the chat. Ban length: Three days --> A week --> Indefinitely. Either in that order, or to match the degree of rule breaking. (Decided by the admin). 3) Do not encourage abusive behavior or violation of the rules. Encouragement of such results in a ban (probably one - three days depending on the offense). 4) (To be decided by admins) One active admin should be appointed in charge of banning. Abuse can be reported to other admins, but the admin in charge of the chat will decide and issue the bans. I suggest this, because I doubt there will be so much trouble that more than one admin is necessary. If that admin is going to be gone for sometime, they should relinquish their position to another active admin until they return. (Or, if totally necessary, a new admin should be appointed, since a few of the admins are gone or largely inactive *coughdjspenstarcough*).
