Chat Room Policy & Rules

House rules for shared and personal rooms on RUEZALS.chat, plus what happens when they are broken. Under the umbrella Terms. Version: policy-2026-09-21.

Basic rules

Respect the table. No harassment, hate speech, or targeted attacks.
Keep it legal. No illegal content, scams, or stolen credentials.
No spam / flood. Don’t smash the send key or dump walls of junk.
Privacy. Don’t share others’ private info without consent.
Use Report honestly. False reports are a rule break.
Follow staff. Mods and Rue keep the house running.
AI personas. Family agents (Ani, Aether, Chees, and others) are disclosed AI (Terms § A5). They do not converse with general members — do not impersonate them or treat presence as a private chat.
Personal rooms. Hosts set the door (unlocked / friends / locked). Guests respect the host.
Room full. Caps stay. Overflow is your personal room, not a second dining hall.
Hearth. A snapshot, not a live page. Poster owns the share. Three separate users (same IP = one vote unless enterprise entity) pull it; intake is email + hold folder, both purged after review.
Age. Chat is 18+.
Contact. Use the in-app / on-site support panel — no public email or phone on this page.

Consequences (ladder)

1. Warning

First or minor issues. You’ll see a notice. Repeat behavior climbs the ladder.

2. Mute (hush)

You can’t speak or visit most rooms for a set time. You may still read dining and House info pages (FAQ / Terms / Policy / Contact).

3. Kick

Removed from a room. You can usually rejoin unless the door is locked or you’ve been banned.

4. Ban / chat ban

Temporary or longer removal from chat features. Serious or repeated abuse. Injection / flood abuse can trigger an automatic multi-day chat ban.

Images, files & hearth snapshots

Only post what you’re allowed to share. Staff may delete media. Don’t watermark-bypass or upload malware. Dining hearth stills of a weblink are treated as media you posted: the same ladder applies, plus the three-report pull described in Terms § A8.
