CHATROOMS FAQ, GUIDELINES & UPDATES
10/29/07 at 08:31:21
 

Welcome

to


...  

Chat is a wonderful place for members to get to  know one another, trade hugs, share paranormal experiences and connect with Members who freely offer readings.  Smiley There is a casual and warm atmosphere thanks to the loving regular members and friendships are growing everyday.
Smiley  Visitors and Guests  Smiley

It is a courtesy to identify ourselves re:
* Country
* gender
* age

If this is your first time here it would be considered wise to read
~ ~ ~ Chat rooms FAQ's  ~ ~ ~
The few minutes this takes  may possibly answer questions that newcomers have on their first visit here and offers insight on how the site works, especially if you are either looking for a reading, or desiring to practice.
The following rules and guidelines are in place to provide a high quality discussion environment for our members and guests, to prevent disruption and maintain a  friendly & safe environment for all.

Basic chat etiquette:
* Choose a username that is NOT offensive or sexually suggestive. Please do not use an email or site address as a user name. Choose a username and stick with it... if a change is necessary inform A MODerator.
* Don't use ALL CAPITOL LETTERS IN YOUR TEXT. Not only is this difficult to read, on the internet it is considered shouting.  
* Your arrival will be announced on the screen. Assuming that there is an ongoing discussion started it is polite to wait a short while to catch the drift of the current conversation, or receive welcoming messages. This courtesy is 'expected' in ALL the readings rooms ( Akasha's, Development & PRACTICE &PSYCHIC Members readings rooms) where interrupters will be silenced by MODerators.

* Be polite and civil to other chat room users at all times. Mods will monitor language and will halt conversations that are defamatory, obscene/indecent, hateful, discriminatory or inflammatory. Do not be rude, insulting, offensive, snide, obnoxious or abusive towards other members.

The chat rooms can be for serious debates or lighthearted and playful. Do not hesitate to shift to another room if a topic doesn't interest you or makes you feel uncomfortable. Personality conflicts may occur, please do not let a dislike of one person affect your stay with us. IGNORE is also a viable and mature option. Please do not air personal grievances in the public channel.

NO NO's:  
In case of dispute regarding a guests/members behavior, the following list will be referred to when cautions, warnings, bans are issued.

NO...  Readings by visitors or guests. Only registered and actively participating Members are granted permission to PRACTICE readings on site. Please see  Development and PRACTICE room  "terms of use"  Please understand that this rule has to be enforced; if we permitted anybody and everybody to practice readings here, the site itself would lose credibility.
NO...  PRIVATE readings this includes  forum PM's & Chat PM's - Unless authorized specifically by site Administrators. Taking members offsite to side-step this rule could result in a permanent BAN. This rule is in place to protect the site's reputation and it's members.

* For privacy and as a safety precaution we will discourage posting email addresses etc in the main channel of chat or publicly on the forums. IF you do so privately, ABT is not accountable for conflicts that occur between members off-site.

NO Multiple ID's. One username please. You are responsible that your password is kept confidential.    
NO Role-playing/lying/impersonation. Conversations must not be misleading or deceptive. Many come here looking for help; deliberate deceptions are a waste of our time.

NO spamming:
*Recruitment: Do not recruit site visitors or members with invitations to join other web sites, forums or groups. Personal, or otherwise. "Poaching" members is unacceptable.
*Advertising: advertising or promoting other web sites (1 warning only) and or offering services or products for sale is a strictly forbidden.  



NO Illegal material: absolutely no discussions meant to cause incitement to commit or promote a crime.  This includes discussing taking, buying or selling drugs, the sale or promotion of weapons, hacking, pirated software/movies/music, or promoting or encouraging violence of any kind.  

NO Preaching: Discussing religion and beliefs is acceptable. However DO NOT attempt to convert or push religious beliefs onto others, we ask that all beliefs be respected.

NO Racism or hatred: Do not post racist or views which express hatred towards or discriminate against any specific race, religion, country, gender, individual or group.

NO Harassment: Do not harass, defame, threaten, bully or victimize other members, this includes private messages. Publicly arguing is not permitted.

NO Profanity, kink. Sexual innuendos (aka known as flirting to be in PRIVATE only. Thanks) We are a community with members that range in age from teens - Grannies. Please have respect and do not use profanity, crude or vulgar language.  

NO Trolling/Flamebaiting:  A 'troll' is someone who's purpose is to intentionally create disruption, provoke, bait and offend members for personal amusement. Trolls who verbally abuse, attack, embarrass, or threaten in the chat room will be banned. Please DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS ~ No matter what they might say to you.  If a MODerator is not present, please please please use the IGNORE option, and report the users name.  

NO Pestering for Psychic readings: ALL the sites readers have a Bio thread on the Members Readings board - leave requests for a reading there. Please do not use the private mailbox's on the forums or PM's in chat to request readings. We do not promote repetitive reading requests, psychic addiction or continuing dependency.  

NO Self-harm or Suicide Chat: Please understand that No one here is 'qualified'  to deal with this. This rule is also enforced to protect members who are grieving such a loss. You will be directed to Please consult with a medical professional immediately  Volunteer Emotional Support Helplines & Suicide Hotlines


Blue Icons   = Member or guest
RED Icons      = Moderators
GREEN Icons = Moderator/teachers  or a temporary guest speaker
Yellow Icons   = Moderator in Text-controlled chatrooms.



BANNED ?

The above rules are standard for  chat rooms, and with due respect are easy to abide by. Moderators are NOT chosen because they would enjoy the power to silence, kick or ban. Moderators are chosen for their known abilities to be patient, openminded/tolerant and non-judgmental.  However, Moderators are human and  baiting the MOD's, being argumentative or challenging about the rules isn't going to create a positive atmosphere, for anyone.        

Silenced/warning The Moderator who takes this action will Private Message you with an appropriate warning or explanation. Please Do not ignore this...
Kicked ... suggests you didn't heed the warning.  It is privilege to be here, not a right. Please do not consider returning if unwilling to be in compliance with the rules and expectations. Immediate returns, with attitude, will be met with a second warning, or depending on individual circumstances, a possible Banning.  
BANNED Contact Evie if you wish to appeal. If you were informed via PM, by a Moderator that a 24 hour BAN is forthcoming, wait for 24 hours before attempting to return.  

Important:
Please DO NOT use the public channel to criticize or complain about a Moderators actions, discuss member bans or encourage protests against any actions by staff or administration. If you disagree with an action taken by a member of staff, issues must be addressed privately in chat PM's or the forum private messaging system,  or alternately contact administration. Assuredly, admin takes a serious look at all complaints. DO NOT use the forum boards to address personal complaints, or carry on a public argument with a member or staff.  
Contact  Evie via PM's or email ~ Evies54@hotmail.com ~ if you would like to register a complaint.

Thank You

FAQ’s

Frequently Asked Questions


Is everyone here  psychic?
NO.  People of all ages and backgrounds come here for various reasons and psychic readings is only one of them. We have practicing psychics and  others are developing and learning. Paranormal investigators and skeptics are equally welcome here. Many arrive needing a safe place to  share out-of-the-ordinary-experiences. Some are fearful they are haunted and arrive asking for help. A few are wondering about their sanity. Bereavement and grief are also life situations that attracts members here.

How do I get a Psychic reading?
Free readings are a 'Bonus' for participating members  @ anybodythere.net Please understand, daily we see many newcomers and it is impossible for us to provide a drop-in-center for instant readings.

Note that we don't ask for much - Participation in this community - we would like to see a minimum of 10 'Quality' posts on the forum boards. 'before' you can request a reading. NOTE: Two-/three word comments, one sentence replies that do not add to the forum discussions and reading requests  are NOT considered quality.
NOTE: Fun and Games board does NOT add post counts.
10 speedy posts does not guarantee an instant reading. Please be patient.


May I practice psychic readings in the chat room?
IF you are visitor or a newly registered member here, No.
Members who have been here for at least 2 weeks and are established as regular participators - a minimum of 25 " quality " posts within the community forums boards @ anybodythere.net may be granted the privilege of practicing readings in the chat room. (see next link)

The  Development & PRACTICE Room  is for members who are practicing or developing psychic abilities. There MUST be a MODerator present during all readings. As this is a psychic development room, a teacher may be present to help guide a new reader. Please be aware that this is a learning environment and accuracy of information provided here is not guaranteed or implied.

PRACTICING Readers have a Bio and feedback thread in the Members readings board
This is where you post your reading requests. Here is a handy alphabetical list of the Readers BIO's and feedback. A reader may also approach you if they feel a connection or are drawn to your name and ask for permission to read for you.

* Why are people asked to not talk when entering a room while a reading is happening?
Visitors and guests are welcome to observe readings in the designated reading rooms. *
With due respect and courtesy for the readers we ask for quiet. Interrupting a reading with greetings or requests for  readings is disruptive, can cause a break in concentration and focusing for the reader.  DO NOT  PM a reader OR the sitter when it is obvious they are involved in a reading.

Why are the pawns next to some people’s names red while others are blue?
Site Administrators and Site MODerators have a Red Pawn next to their names so they can be easily identified. Members and Visitors will have a Blue Pawn next to their name.

What is a Moderator?
The chatroom MOD's  welcome & help new users learn how to navigate the site, explain rules and guidelines, and direct newcomers who need help in Chat or on the Forums.  A “Mod” also monitors the rooms to ensure participants are respectful; give warnings, silence, kick or ban individuals from chat who may act inappropriate in a public setting.  


Blue Icons= Member or guest
RED Icons      = Moderators
GREEN Icons = Moderator/teachers  or a temporary guest speaker
Yellow Icons = Moderator in Text-controlled chatrooms.


Why do people keep asking about my age, gender and location?
We are about 'real people' in all age groups from around the world sharing experiences and making friends. Age, Gender and Location are common questions that open conversations and help us learn a little about each other, our culture, backgrounds etc and for many act as  a foundation for remembering who each other is.  

Why can't I use PM (private messaging) in chat
* Non registered Users (guests/visitors)  &  Newbies
.... are blocked from using the PM option; unfortunately new folks to chat have been abusing the PM privileges and pestering the 'readers', or have been doing 'readings' in Private. When a  member has 25 posts on the forums they can be registered  as a 'regular'  in the chat room and have the privilege of sending private messages PM's.

*NOTE: Registered regulars in chat may lose PM privileges; Please do not
○ abuse the readers by pestering for readings. NO Asking for reads in PM's
○ offer private readings
○ receive Private readings
○ invite members off-site to sidestep the reading rules
○ recruiting ABT members for another site
○ or harass other members.
 
This is a paranormal site, why aren’t people talking about paranormal topics in chat?
The Lobby/Meet & Greet/Lounge  rooms are  common gathering rooms and are used for general chat and welcoming newcomers. General chat is for open conversation on any topic, to socialize and to share stories or daily life experiences.  If you have a paranormal topic in mind take it to the  Talk Paranormal  room.

* Privacy.  The member in charge of the room is in control of the password.  
* Pre-registered or limited classes

How can I get my own Avatar for Chat?
The first four avatars are for general use and are not assigned to anyone. They are lame, we know. The chat application can only hold a limited number of picture Avatars and these are reserved for Readers and Moderators and members who are often in chat. Using another's avatar is impolite whether they are online or not. If you choose to use an avatar that belongs to a member you will be asked not to, and to choose one of the four “General Use Avatars”

How do I change my chat room status to “Away”  (egg timer)
Above the list of room name there is a drop-down menu. Click on the menu and choose “Away”. When you return, repeat and choose “Online”

How do I Copy and Paste in chat?
The right-click copy command is only for use when copying/pasting text within  Chat  itself. Copy and paste between Chat and other applications can only be done using  CTRL-C, CTRL-V.

*  highlight text - right click and drag mouse over the portion you want copied
or  
*  "Ctrl  +  A" =  highlights  full screen
*  “Ctrl  +  C” =  copy
*  “Ctrl  +  V” =  paste

Why can’t I open a link from the chat window?
This may be a setting for a browser you are using.
* Open another window and copy/paste the link in the browser
OR...  
* Hold down the “Ctrl” key and click on the link, this often works when other options fail.

How do I log out of chat when I am leaving?
Click on the open door with the arrow… next to the (?) in the  icon row which is  above the text entry area.

~ Development and PRACTICE ~ "terms of use"


ANYBODYTHERE

...


WE are a Paranormal and Psychic Resource... which includes developing abilities. As a community we are rapidly growing and many members  are wanting to understand their abilities and safely develop further in a supportive environment.  Understanding that 'PRACTICE' is valuable we are supportive of this need and have created a room exclusive for Development and PRACTICE in chat. Please follow the policy's and rules set forth; they are in place to preserve the integrity of the site, for the safety of the sitters and protects the practicing readers from being pestered for readings.

A reading is defined as an attempt to make a 'connection' with another. This includes using tools (tarot...etc) or not, delivering messages; re: past-present-future, mediumship and energy exchanges such as remote healing, clearing/cleansings etc.

Readings on the forums
Readings on the forums are permitted by all.  IF you are a minor (under age 18) we request that you enter your birth date in your profile so members are aware of your age.

Prerequisites: for PRACTICE readings in chat
PRACTICE readings on this site is a privilege offered to participating members @ anybodythere. We ask for a minimum of 25 Quality posts on the forum boards & a minimum 2 weeks waiting period after registration, before new members  can offer readings/PRACTICE in chat. Honoring these conditions indicates an intention of joining the community and shows an appreciation for the site. In the meantime, we encourage participating on the Members Readings and Consultations board as well as A picture = 1,000 words until permission is granted. Both boards offer many opportunities to practice.


Guidelines/rules for readers:

•  No readings are allowed in chat by  any person under the age of 18
Likewise no readings for members under 18.
Minors may ask for readings on the forums (within reason), reply to photo's or post own picture in the  A Picture = 1,000 words board & are welcome to participate during SUNDAY picture readings as well.


•  Members MUST have a minimum 10 "quality" posts before they are entitled to receive a reading.

•  ALL  PRACTICE readings/healings must take place in the Development & PRACTICE/Healing Circle ,  under the guidance and direction of a MODerator. Depending on ones experience and basic skills (grounding, protection, opening & closing, chakras etc) a MOD may insist that a new reader wait for the attendance of a MOD with experience as reader.

Private readings in chat PM's or via the forums are NOT permitted. Please understand that this condition is a precaution, both  for the safety of the sitter and the reputation of readers. Public readings on this site is the  only  way to earn respect and credibility within this community. Please do Not take advantage of our memberships to invite members off site for private readings. Anybodythere.net can not tolerate anyone using 'Chat' to solicit payments for readings or market other services. Anyone found doing so can be instantly banned.

Sitters must give their permission to be read.

• A medium-psychic should feel drawn to certain person to read for. This will cut down on readings that may appear to be 'cold reads' or 'fishing' for a link/validation. However, understanding that sometimes 'random' spirits do present themselves. We ask the readers to  please PM a MOD to ask if they can  accompany them to D&P. MOD's can invite members in other rooms via a broadcast;  with a name or a few details.  Readers will be asked to end, after 5 minutes (or so)  if no validated link with a sitter has been established.  

• We don't want to see anyone (MODs or readers) burn-out.  A reader is limited to 3 (30 minute) readings in a row; this can equal 1.5 hours. Moderator/teachers have the right to use their own discretion and may ask a reading to wind down and complete as it nears the 30 minute mark.  This paves the way for fair time for other readers, as well as the sitters hoping for a turn.  


*  If you are interested in using our Development and PRACTICE room  *


•  When you have the 25 posts and met the 2 week requirement please  reply to this thread indicating agreement with the 'terms of use' and speak with a MODerator regarding offering a reading.    
•  Post a brief BIO/Introduction re: a little history, your abilities and experience to let members know you are interested in PRACTICING readings  in Chat  and/or on the forums.  
Start a new topic here:
> Members Readings and Consultations <



Guidelines for sitters/viewers

•  Enter reading rooms quietly
. Please understand that interruptions can be harmful to the readers focus and concentration and Moderators will quickly 'silence' any interrupters..  

•  Free readings are a benefit for participating members. We ask for a minimum 10 QUALITY  posts on the forums before asking for a reading. Note: Even with the minimum posts, instant readings are rare.

•  Leave a request on the Members Readings and Consultations board with a specific reader or patiently wait for a psychic to feel drawn to your request/username.  

•  Do NOT Private Message the readers with reading requests. It's a NO NO to pester for readings. Dependency on psychics is not encouraged.  (NOTE: Without the site's approval Private readings are not permitted. You risk losing PM privileges for offering private readings, as well as accepting them.)

• Readings are not conversations. Sitters should reply with only simple answers for validation (yes . no . maybe . close) Sometimes, it is hard to not say more and a moderator or the reader will gently remind you if you forget.  This offers the best confirmations for both the sitter and the reader. Validations may be explained after the reading has ended.  

THANK YOU

Sundays: Picture Readings in ~ Chat ~
Reply #6 - 04/16/10 at 20:33:18
 



Psychometry:


The ability to read others via pictures or objects


...

Saturday's @ 7:00PM (GMT) (New Time)

Everyone is welcome to attend & Participate


How it works:
By drawing on the energies that surround the subject we may be able to view past, present and future influences. Body language, facial expression, background, clothes and first impressions can tell a lot about personality traits, feelings and thoughts.

Everyone can practice, whether you feel you are psychic or not; simply say what you 'get' . You may surprise yourself re:accuracy. Novice Picture readers have accurately "picked up" on much and the feedback is sometimes quite amazing.

5-12 readers focus on the Pictures and type in a Private Message (PM) their first impressions or thoughts on the subject/s in the picture. These mini readings will be posted in the main channel, one-at-a-time, so the Picture owners can comment and offer feedback to each of the readers. This feedback is IMPORTANT for those who are practicing, but time is limited and a couple sentences each is all we can afford.

We ask everyone to HOLD ALL CHAT during the readings and feedback  Lips Sealed


Send photo's to Evies54@gmail.com --->> subject: Picture readings/ your  username
note: The picture Owner 'must' be in attendance for a Photo to be selected for a reading.
In all fairness I will NOT ACCEPT Photo's that have already been posted on the forums.


 Smiley  so much to everybody for your interest.
