Chat Room Profile
For help on setting and saving your profile for the chat rooms, please refer to the Chatrooms/Forum Profile Information page.
Please use these rooms wisely. We would appreciate it if you would keep the language clean & refrain from flame wars. Name calling & belligerent behavior won't be tolerated. Someone may report you to the Moderators, at which time you may be banned from the rooms. Otherwise, enjoy.
Also please remember that chatting over group of other people in an active roleplaying game is against the rules.
For more on scheduling games and the game schedules, check the Scheduled Games page.
For information about using the dice roller in the gaming rooms visit the DyceBot Information page.

Please note that advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are grounds for banning and I.S.P. notification in these Chat Rooms.
From time to time these rules may be changed and or updated without warning. It is your duty as a chatter to know these rules and heed them. Ignorance of the rules does not excuse your behavior and you can and will be banned if the need arises. Bypassing these rules through a bookmark will not give you any legal reason to not follow these rules or any rules, which may get updated at any time. You have been duly warned.
Chat Room conduct should be guided by common sense & basic etiquette. You will be considered in violation of the Chat Room Rules of Conduct if you (or others using your web access) do any of the following:
1st Offense: You will be spoken to in public and asked to stop your actions.
2nd Offense: You will be kicked from the server. The chat will inform you of this as well as why. Breaking the rules again will result in a ban for length to be determined by Palladium Books® and/or the Moderator.
3rd Offense: You will be kicked and banned from the server. Not allowed back in until your ban is lifted.
The 3rd Offense violations will be reported to Palladium.
You will then be banned from the chat rooms for a time defined by the Moderator. You may also be banned from the Forums to keep you from spamming them with complaints about getting banned. After sufficient time you will be allowed back on to the forums. But not the Chat Rooms. Allowance back into the chat rooms is left to the sole discretion of Palladium Books® and/or the Moderator.
Although the above guidelines are generally followed, Chat Room Moderators reserve the right to ban chatters at their discretion.

If you need to report a user for disruption send an email to go to the help desk to submit a report: Reports need to include:
Answer: At the lower right side of your screen, you'll see a button marked Settings Click on this and use the arrow keys at the bottom of the Profile screen to pick the avatar you wish to use. Don't forget to save the settings you select.
Answer: You don't. Private Messages have been disabled for the chatters due to abuse. What happens when a private message appears is you have been contacted by a Chat Moderator.
Answer: Blue names are moderators, Green names are invisible moderators who you won't be able to see in the Nickname list, red names are administrators.
Answer: There are two types of games run in Palladium Chat. The first type are scheduled games, where you apply for a specific time slot in one of the scheduled game rooms (SGR1 and SGR2). The other are unscheduled games where you can get a group of players and run a game, these are typically done in the unscheduled game rooms (UGR1-4), however, if those rooms are full, the Pit, Rifts Games, PFRPG Games, and Megaversal Stage can be used.
Answer: It's suggest that you observe a few games in progress to gain some idea of how games are typically played. However, there is no hard and fast rule for playing games in the chat rooms and many Game Masters have their own ideas on what they prefer in their games.
Answer: You can become a moderator if the administrators believe you will make a good one and ask you if you would like to be a moderator? Asking administrators and moderators if you could become a moderator is likely to have you not considered for the position.

Answer: Simply use a ` symbol (same key as ~) and the lower case letter of the alphabet you want. Such as `a. For more than one letter make sure to add a space such as `a `b. Upper case letters WILL NOT work! Also we have a special space character for spacing out your words, use `sb. Enjoy!
Answer: This means you have exceeded the number of messages within a specified time set into the flooding censor or have repeated the same message several times without saying anything else in between. Repeated flooding is considered a rule violation.
Answer: There is a 2000 character (including spaces) limit on messages. Please adjust your post accordingly.
Answer: Not in an official capacity. The moderators and administrators are volunteers who manage the chat rooms and forums for Palladium Books. They do not work at the company headquarters.
Answer: Anything can be run as long as it isn't in the scheduled gaming rooms, and if the rooms fill up and Palladium players want the spot, the non-palladium players gotta go somewhere else.
Answer: Sometimes, very rarely though. We're super busy making new content for you and your games.
Answer: If the message appears with a green name, it was said by an invisible moderator. If the message is some sort of announcement with an announcement sounding name (e.g. Emoticons) then it is a chat bot.
