hello Mylotters! I've registered to a paid to chat site this past few months. Wherein you can have extra income through chatting and at the same time make friends with others. I have noticed that there are some members who have no netiquette or self discipline when interacting with others. They disrespect their mates and even say bad words on chat. They must be aware that there are some young members who are there to earn some extra for their studies. And not to established such bad attitudes which is not a good influence to others.They must learn how to respect the site and its administrators. I thank Mylot for keeping safety to all its members! Have you experienced this kind of situation on chat or in other social sites? What can you say about this?

I could say that I am not unfamiliar with this kind of people and behavior. I think that best way to deal with them is to ignore them and report them to site administrators. There will always be this kind of people online and in the real world. It's best to know how to deal with them if you cannot completely avoid them.

yes I hope that people could find some ways to control this kind of occurrence, which is not a good mirror for others. And I hope that this site administrator should also have a constant supervision with their own sites. Sad to say don't even bother anymore if they are already earning a lot from it.

Yes, of course! I have an netiquette. I'll make sure that I'll have a good impression of myself even if its online. As they said " If you can't keep your integrity online, how much more offline?" One must learn to have an etiquette. by the way it is also an habit. I had been a member of a chat site last year and I was addicted with it. There were some member there who do have an improper way of communicating. But no matter what is it. I'll make sure I am still the person whom I wanna be.

I do see this in general chat room that there are people make fun and making such a bad attitude toward other and make you really angry. that's why administrator block this user if ever they have the proof of making violation on there rules and regulation, but I just ignore them young people should be educated that not everybody are safe to use especially using computer for young children that access internet because we don't know information that needed guidance and assistance on moral issue of other site and images available on the net.

Yes my friend, this kind of wild attitudes should not be tolerated by any other social sites. It is also hard to prohibit your children from using computer because they also needs it for educational purposes. So better for the parents to have great guidance and advices to their children to avoid being exposed to bad influences they could get from the net.

It is what it is. Being aware is the first step, but ultimately it is up to us, to decide how to react to these situations, as for the kiddo's until they get to the age they can make appropriate decisions regarding Internet usage they should be monitored whilst on the computer. I watch my kid constantly when he is on his games, and netflix, so that he keeps to age appropriate programs. If you let him alone he finds the most vile stuff and it takes weeks to train it out of him. Happened once, by accident, Never Again. This kind of attitude is around us always, and the internet is a great place for jerks to be more of jerks because they can hide behind the username. Sincerely and With Appreciation.

Yes my friend, it is in a person to decide what he is going to create an image for herself/himself. this people are so insensitive about their environment especially for the youth. This cases may also cause by mentality level I think! It is good that you are always there for your kid and you could guide them and encourage them away from this kind of awful matters. But some parents can not be parents all the time especially for those who are busy ones, I know this is really scary to think that the technological effect is alleged to be ranging with no control. I know that even for adults are not favored or fund for this kind of attitudes, in fact it is more irritating as well because we really what it really means. Thanks for your sincere response and regards to your son, he is so lucky to have a father like you!

When online, actually it depends on the website on how I interact with others. If it's just for fun, I also post bad words, but I don't mean to offend anybody with those words. I usually don't mind if children can read those, their parents are responsible for them, it's their fault why they're learning bad words from me.

I've actually learned from an experience like this before. My cousin, a 12-year-old, was harassed on facebook. I was partly responsible because I helped her setup an account. Kids should never create an account with social sites since the internet is filled with hazards that can affect the kids' thinking.

I guess this kind of hazards is not only dangerous for kids thinking but for adults also. Let us not set aside the fact that even adults can be a victim of this internet abuses!

Maybe you're right that parents should have to watch and guide their children from the tremendous influence of technology today so that they not not be getting soe side effects portrayed by their children. Many parents knows how things things are not happy and hurt hearing their children saying nasty words and having such bad attitudes. Maybe soon we will understand what it really means when the time comes that we become parents and have children of our own.

I think that I certainly do try to follow the netiquette when chatting online. If you do encounter bad behavior and people not following the rules while chatting then you should just ignore them and report them to the site for abuse...Anyways, getting paid for chatting and making new friends sounds like a nice idea. Could you share with us what this website is. I think many mylotters would be interested. thanks

Hi,i think we all have experienced some bad guys or girls who don't know how to behave in public places, such as chatrooms or bus. In fact, last sundy, when i was on a bus, there was a young man who talking in very loud voice, the worst thing is each sentence coming out of his mouth contains some drity words. He had been smiling all the time, but i felt he was so ugly. There were some little kids on the bus, he didn't care about that at all. Just enjoyed in talking with his friends on the phone. For him, the dirty words are signs of his natural and unrestrained.

This is so terrible that even for a young man was acting like that on public where in many different people having different states in life was exposed to his public behavior. And he don't even bother what might say or think about him! We must be more disciplined when we are in public because this people are more discipline than us, lets not put ourselves down low.

Yes my friend, a person with etiquette will be honored and respected as well. What you do online and offline is what creates you an image! once an image is mess up you can not wipe it by yourself as long as other people saw you in that manner.

What kind of chat is that? What is that site? That was ever since even in MIRC that people can't keep their integrity then when you meet them in person you can't even imagine that how come they are dumb founded. Some people are just only brave when it comes online because of course they can't be identified. But when it comes to offline they are coward enough to be harsh or do on what they are doing during online.

You are right my friend, this people must learn how to value integrity and respect for others and for themselves anymore! Even if you wear a mask what you do and what you say is still your responsibility!

I have found that proper netiquette makes for a better read. I believe that a chatter does not have to be rude, use harsh words or include lots of drama to get a point across. The bad language may have a place but it's not for chatting on the web. A lot of people get online to chat and have a GOOD time, not get caught up in negativity and bad attitudes. Since there is no way to filter what age the chatter is, proper netiquette probably should be used in as many cases as possible. On the flip side, if the chat is strictly for adults, parents should be aware of where their minor-aged children are surfing. I feel that if there is a set of rules published by the administrators of the site, we should agree to their rules and adhere to them. Being disrespectful to others could cause others to drop their participation of the site and degrade the experience of others.

there is no such indications that that site is strictly or recommended only for adults. It is a site where in everybody else are welcome to make friends at the same time is to earn money! I was really disappointed and sometimes get irritated with people who have such an awful attitude online, even if we say that they hide from any user name and shield their own identity, the mere truth is that it is still the the rotten fruit of their mind that they put it into indecent actions. It is not base on any site category, it is more on how you communicate with others. This things are not even accepted by adults, I know!
