User blog:Csillagfény/What To Do and What Not To Do As a User When The Chat Gets Heated.

In the chat we tend to strive for a peaceful place where users can talk about whatever their hearts desire. While this is the ideal vision for the chat, unfortunately not everyone can be friends with everyone, and every now and then a fight or an argument breaks out. This can create a tense or hostile atmosphere for the others that may be on the chat, and some of the other users can act in a way to further detriment the positive atmosphere one would strive for in a chat. What I've outlined here in this blog are some tips that you can and should do as a user to help to quell the negative atmoshpere that some of these arguments can create, should they happen in the future.

Don't get involved. This is especially true if the argument is one of a personal nature. Getting involved in these arguments will typically do nothing more than exacerbate the situation and may encourage some of the others users to get involved, dooming the chance of a potential peaceful resolution. Just stay out of the argument and try to carry on with some discussion. If the argument gets to be too much, private message with some of the friends you may have on this wikia and have a chat with them.

Don't make comments. This includes stuff like "Oh no, drama again!" or something like "This is so stupid." The statements I mentioned come off as pretty passive aggressive and do nothing more than irritate those involved in the argument, and it opens up the possibility of being dragged into the argument.

'''Try to see if they're willing to take it into private messaging. '''Typically arguments don't tend to have a place on the main chat. As a user, it's perfectly reasonable to ask those participating in an argument (assuming it's only two members) to take their debacle into private messaging. If you attempt this and they don't listen, don't try to press it and instead, ask whatever staff is present (in PM) to try and ask them to take the argument into private messaging.

That's about all I could think of at the moment, potential edits coming later, feel free to suggest tips.
