Most chat rooms have their own strict policies and terms of service, but there are some common standard guidelines that should be adhered to in all chat rooms. Following are top four tips to make your chat room experience pleasant and successful.

Do not give your identity initially. Before you begin in any chat room, you’ll be asked to create a user name, just like on a message board. Choose a name but do not give your real identity, it will help you to protect your personal information.

Don’t type in all capital letters or use hard to read fonts or colors. Choose your font that is easily noticeable yet do not catch everyone’s eye.

Always be nice, especially when someone new enters. For some people, particularly those who are shy, it’s a big step to enter a chat room.

Be yourself. In most areas of online personal dating, honesty continues to be the best policy.
