| Important
advice concerning protection of minors: |
Introduction
Unfortunately the chat, as well as the internet in general, may possibly be used
by people to watch out for. Because of this we have assembled information and
hints to help you to continue to be safe in the chat/internet.
If
you are under 16 years of age and chatting here, for your own safety you should
let your parents read the following information!
We, as operator of this chat, do everything we can to make it as safe as possible
for all users. And people who think they can violate the law anonymously in this
chat should know that they take a great risk.
Some
facts concerning "anonymity":
- Nobody in this chat is
truly anonymous! Anyone acting suspiciously can be identified!
- Private talks can be recorded
and saved.
- We work closely with the
authorities to keep this chat clean.
Because of
this it is also extremely inadvisable to go beyond any criminally liable borders
"just for fun" or as an "hobby investigator". More than once such behaviour has
resulted in a visit by the criminal investigation department!
But nevertheless, mere determination is not enough. You yourself can actively
help.
Hints
and rules of conduct for children and teenagers under 16 years of age:
- Chat only if there's a
nearby adult to help you in case you need it.
- Your nickname and your
profile should not contain any indication of your age.
- Do not reveal any of your
own personal data (name, address, mobile number, etc.) or that of anybody else.
- If you arrange to meet
someone only known to you from a chat, never go to the meeting alone.
What to
do when somebody addresses you ambiguously or clearly:
- Don't respond to it!
- Notify an operator.
- Always call an adult, if
possible.
- Save evidence for making
a report, if need be.
- Never "investigate" by
yourself.
