from AOL's Terms of Service |
Proper online conduct.
Online conduct should be guided by common sense and basic etiquette. You will be considered in violation of the Terms of Service if you (or others using your account) do any of the following:
* Post, transmit, promote, or distribute content that is illegal.
* Harass, threaten, embarrass, or do anything else to another member that is unwanted. This means: don't say bad things about them, don't keep sending them unwanted Instant Message(TM) notes, don't attack their race, heritage, etc. If you disagree with someone, respond to the subject, not the person.
* Transmit or facilitate distribution of content that is harmful, abusive, racially or ethnically offensive, vulgar, sexually explicit, or in a reasonable person's view, objectionable. Community standards may vary, but there is no place on the service where hate speech is tolerated.
* Disrupt the flow of chat in chat rooms with vulgar language, abusiveness, hitting the return key repeatedly or inputting large images so the screen goes by too fast to read, etc. This is online vandalism, and it ruins the experience for others.

Advice from AOL Guides given in Atheist chatrooms:
| AOL Guide A: |
Remember, this room is to talk about Atheism. If you disagree with the subject matter, there are a gaggle of other rooms to visit. [ Visitors ] should only ask questions and not try to convert anyone's beliefs, and that would go vice versa for your [ other beliefs ] room.
|
| AOL Guide B: |
AOL's Terms of Service (TOS) does not allow profanity, vulgarities, personal insults, harassment, racism, or room disruption. Conversations that violate TOS are reported and offenders risk losing their AOL membership.
|
| AOL Guide C: |
Folks..it's simple really....at top of Screen....God is a MYTH...these folks do NOT believe in a "god"...if you choose to disrupt Their Room you WILL be asked to leave.
|
| Atheist 1: | What is the definition of room harassment? |
| AOL Guide D: | What was being done here |
| Atheist 2: | Guide...can you be more specific? |
| AOL Guide D: | Yelling Christian things at the members in here is room harassment
|
| AOL Guide E: |
By the act of signing on to AOL you agreed to abide by TOS - Terms Of Service. That is a contract - and to fulfill your part of the contract you must abide by those rules. Free speech is fine, but *not* when it disrupts the enjoyment of others,and *not* when it violates your contractual obligations. Twas just so you know we have our Own rules...as a private company.
|
| Atheist 3: | Guide F, how do you define "disruption"? What if I'm just not wanted? Can a consensus claim that I'm "disrupting chat" and get me kicked out? |
| AOL Guide F: | Atheist 3, if others complain, it may be disruption. In an atheist room to preach...not to debate... is a disruption. |
| Atheist 3: | Guide F, there is a fine, perhaps nonexistant line between debating and preaching |
| AOL Guide F: |
Atheist 3, that is true. But when it crosses the line then it is room disruption. Preaching should not be tolerated in here. There are other rooms for that.
|
| AOL Guide G: |
Folks, please remember you AGREED To The Terms of Service, prior to ever signing on to AOL. AOL is a Private Service, therefore -- it is subject to its own private rules!
|
| AOL Guide H: |
**Just a Reminder** Preaching, Witnessing and pushing your beliefs on people that do not wish it, constitutes Room Harassment which is a valid TOS violation. Please don't. =)

50+ Examples of Chatroom Conduct Found in Violation of TOS
In this section are displayed segments of actual chat logs that demonstrate a variety of incidents where "preaching" in chatrooms resulted in AOL Guides suspending the chat privileges of offenders. In the 53 cases presently recorded here 20 different AOL Guides officiated. Two of these cases involved rudeness by Muslims, the rest by Christians.
My standardized format for each numbered "case" changes the actual screen name of "Preachers" and AOL Guides to identify them with the case number. For all participants other than myself (PorchTwo) I assign an alias such as "Atheist 1," "Christian 1" and so forth. With these exceptions, the text displayed here is the verbatim text from the chat logs. Extraneous material (other conversations having no bearing on these cases) has been deleted.
Persons who would like to contribute material for use on this website may enclose a segment of chat log (or copy and paste a chatroom screen) within E-mail, not as attached files, addressed to BPatter789@aol.com. Please include a return E-mail address that is open (not blocked) for receiving a response. I thank MagiqueOne for submitting 11 of the examples shown here.
