Unexplained Mysteries Chat Room

Chat Room Rules and Guidelines

• No offensive usernames
• No impersonating site staff, anyone who does this is likely to get banned. Genuine site staff can be identified by an @ sign next to their name.
• No offensive language in the chat room
• No advertising or spamming
• No harrassment of other chat room users

Could users also try to log in under a proper name, rather than leaving the default 'anonymous' as that can be confusing. If anyone experiences any problems in the chat room please contact a member of site staff.
