NHL:1 Chat Room Etiquette...

A first rule of thumb is to use proper judgment when selecting a nickname that you will use in NHL:1. Avoid using any rude or inappropriate names, as this will only cause others in the room to ignore you. Instead, use a name that best describes yourself to others... i.e Forever_Frantic, Screamingheadtrip or Outovcontroll. You should use an ID that will arouse the interest or curiosity of other chatters. These IDs are generally created by the elite of the room, known as Sonners who are the life blood of NHL:1. Most ID attempts made by chat scrap, who are hoping to fit in with the elite, are generally lame and ineffectual. Chat scrap end up reverting back to their old IDs like Cck2ca, lllxxx_king_of_kings_xxxlll, or Flyereddie48. Oz is trying to attract gullible bimbo's with "king" status when he's really more like a queen. Eddie is trying to portray himself as a pilot to attract lonely fat chicks and not a Pepsi vending machine stocker. And with Chris... Caresses Cock Kindly... which is all I can get out of that ID, is obviously trying to attract the homosexuals of NHL:1.

Many of you are in need of an ID change... FACT!

Welcome back, for those of you that just created a new ID.

Now that you have hopefully created a new ID and are ready to chat again, there are some proper greetings you should know about in order to initiate a conversation. One of the best ways to accomplish this is to use a simple, pleasant greeting, such as “Hi Everyone”, or “Good Evening”. If this fails to catch anyone’s attention, you could attempt to address a particular member with a "loser" smiley or a "roflmao" smiley. The person you are addressing will usually respond after that, thus launching your chat interaction. Most likely you have just inherited the name "Dean" and are about to temporarily lose IQ points as you continue chatting with this "particular member"... who we will refer to as Cck2ca... who isn't necessarily the brightest star in the sky. Cck2ca likes to refer to all those that use the "loser" and "roflmao" smiley's as Dean, so I think it's only fair that we refer to all idiot's as Cck2ca. Then again, Duecey is the same way, so all idiots will now be referred to as Cck2ca's and Duecey's.

Many chatters in NHL:1 like Cck2ca or Duecey, tend to let their guard down and may try and insult or verbally abuse you just for sake of conversation. In fact, there are many instances where someone will enter the chat room just to annoy others in this way for the same reason. While your instinct is to fire back in the same manner, try to restrain from doing so. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages. In Cck2ca's case, ignore is out of the question. If you are anything like Cck2ca or Duecey, you probably need the attention and enjoy the embarrassment.

If a verbal sparring is the result of a disagreement with a Cck2ca, or a Flyeriddie48, try to remedy the situation by politely talking it over together... preferably in PM. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the room and the civil conversations they may be having. If you find you are in the wrong, be sure to promptly correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended. Most likely though, with the likes of a Cck2ca or Flyereddie48, they will continue rambling though they have been sonned and apologized to. They are just out to impress their boss in Oz and hoping to remain in his Fantasy Hockey League. Or as some would say... basically kissing his ass.

Here are some other tips to follow when chatting in NHL:1. Please welcome and respect any newcomers that are entering for the first time. Don't be like Cck2ca and call them a newbie, or to STFU and to GTFO because you are afraid he/she will take over your online friends it took you months, if not years to make. Offer advice to the newcomers when asked, as they may not be sure what to do or how to converse. Better yet, let the Sonners give advice, as they have the ability to weed out chat scrap and see the qualities in a chatter that could warrant them a permanent chair in the room. With the likes of Cck2ca, Flyereddie48, and Oz giving advice, we have nothing but a room full of Pixie's, Boltsgirls, and Costergirl's.

Also, if you are a chat room moderator, or regular, try not to overload the room with constant advice or opinions and give others their chance to speak. No newcomer wants to hear the BULL*** of an Oz or Flyereddie48 and the ignorance of a Nhlphi and Justin_Williams14 who tend to deter any potential "fresh meat" that NHL:1 is in dire need of.

Finally... remember to treat all that are in NHL:1 the same way you would want to be treated.

If the truth is spoken by a particular chatter and your feelings are hurt, then maybe it's time to shape up and get yourself a life. It does no good to get defensive over it. If you can't do that, then simply ignore the individual who is trying to point out your faults which is for your own good, and continue on with your pathetic life.

By observing these basic rules of etiquette, everyone can have a better online chat experience.

Wait, then you'll want to come back for even more, and there are only so many hours in a day.

Scratch that... =))=))=))

LOL!!!!!!
