For those of you who haven't joined yet, NIWA has a Skype chat, open to the public! To join, contact either me (moy.dow) or Tacopill, and request to be added.

Chat rules
1. If you see somebody or something violating the rules, REPORT IT. If no action appears to be have been taken, it is possible that the moderation team judged that no rule-breaking occurred, or they contacted the offender privately. If you are unsure if the situation has been dealt with or not, feel free to PM a chat administrator. However, please do not report something multiple times; this will be punished with a warning.

2. Do not add multiple accounts for yourself. Once you have been added to the chat, you must use the account which was added only. Sockpuppet accounts will be removed, and the puppeteer will receive a warning.

3. Show respect towards ALL members, no matter who they are. Do not flame people, or bait them into flaming you and don't be a troll. No prejudicial comments of any types.

4. Moderate swearing is allowed. However, you shouldn't do so against other users. If any chat administrator sees you breaking this rule, you will be warned.

5. No requesting, sharing of, or linking to illegal wares (such as ROMs, or certain mp3s). If you are unsure of whether an piece of content is illegal or not, PM an administrator or moderator; said Administrator will tell you if it is okay to post it.

6. Absolutely no inappropriate content such as nude images, pornography, gore, etc. This includes discussion of said content.

7. Posting advertisements is not allowed, unless permission is given by a staff member.

8. Flooding the chat with repeated instances of the same message is not allowed.

9. No troll-feeding. Posting in the chat to antagonise, praise, or insult trolls is not allowed.

10. Religion, and politics conversations,  are strictly forbidden, as these often lead to problems.

Warning system:
1. Warning
2. Stronger warning
3. Kicked for 3 days
4. Kicked for 7 days
