Keep it clean, and age-appropriate.
This is an all-ages chat, so please remain SFW at all times. Do not share NSFW content or links to NSFW chat groups.
Be respectful and kind.
Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, classism, bigotry, and disrespect against other members of our community are not tolerated in this chat. We encourage everyone to have a good time but be mindful of others’ experiences. This also means respecting others’ boundaries – please refrain from DMing people you do not know unless you ask first!
Please limit discussion of real-world politics and interpersonal drama.
We understand: the world is in a very volatile state right now and tensions are running high among many people in and out of the furry community. This space should be seen as a refuge from daily life and its stressors. We want to focus on the good things that the furry community does to prop each other up.
Limit advertising of art/other goods.
We know our fandom is wildly creative, and we love to see all you do!
Posting links to your work or sales can clutter the chat and can be considered spam. If you’re unsure, please ask an admin before posting. Please do not flood the chat with advertisements, especially during the convention.
Chat mods are not available at all hours of the day.
Please understand that like our con staff, our chat moderators and admins are volunteers and have obligations outside of the chat. We will do our best to reply to requests and concerns as time allows.
