My first rule in chat is NO ABUSE, treat and speak to others as if you'd like to be treated and spoken to yourself.
Other rules ala tra4fun....
No sexism
NO racism
No homophobia
No untoward foul language or name calling
No solicitations (all of these discussions can be had privately)
ENJOY YOURSELF.
Pretty easy stuff, let's see if there are other ideas that might stick to the wall.

I couldn't agree more and this is common sense to the majority of folks that have been around the hobby for a while. I think the major influx of the problems arise from Newbies who do not take or are willing to put forth the effort needed to become a hobbyist. No one is willing to "crawl before they walk" and I'm sure the Ladies see this with emails they get on a daily basis with inappropriate comments etc.
But that is another topic altogether.
90% of the hobbyists I've met at M&G's etc have all been "Gentlemen", and I try to be as well.
