As you all know, you can't chat for 5 days when you join Whyville. I know
it's annoying, but they are just trying to protect you on your first five days
and encourage you to learn how to get around before being able to blab all day
long.
When you do start talking, don't use any foul words -- it offends people and
it isn't right. Nobody will want to talk to you. It's great to talk about what's
going on and what's new, but don't talk to people who make you feel
uncomfortable. If anybody is threatening you, you should report it. They
shouldn't do that.
Now, about information -- be careful of what you give a way.
You can people your name and how you look and stuff. BUT NEVER EVER EVER tell
people where you live or give them your phone number! In Whyville, you're not
supposed to give out your email or instant messenger information, because they
can't be sure how safe that is. Even on Whyville, beware -- it may be safe, but people can
still say pretty much whatever they want to, even some swears that get by the
filter.
Whyville is
the safest place to chat, though, and that's great.
I'm going to be interviewing on polls soon, so look for me!!
Talk to you later.
By the one and only,
Merp
Editor's Note: City Hall is adding more of those
badly-spelt swears to the filter list -- email
city-management@whyville.net
to tell her what words should be included in that list!
