I just got taped and deicided to explain what that means to the newbies. Let me tell you, it's NO picnic. The punisment that comes 1st is clams: City Hall can take away a certain amount of them. Then comes being taped, and that's a nightmare! Newbies say, "I can FINALLY chat!" They often say that without looking at the chat rules, and then they get taped.

You get taped when you use inappropriate language in Whyville chat rooms. Often, people don't apparently realize that they are using offensive language, or they don't think a certain word is inappropriate to City Workers. You can also get banished from Whyville. That's called getting a 911 report. A 911 report is just like calling the police because something really terrible happened in a chat room. For example: Using REALLY inappropriate, offensive language, REAL stalkers, child predators, someone pretending they're a kid or teen when they're really an adult, someone asking for personal info, and more cases like that.

So remember, you should only use 911 report for real cases that are worth using it for. Use it like the real police, that's why its called 911, after all...

Don't do anything against the the Whyville rules, it's not worth it.

Editor's Note: Actually, 911 Reports do not guarantee a banishment at all!  Everybody, make sure you read the rules at http://www.whyville.net/callbox/callbox.html, okay?
