Chat Rooms

Engage in spontaneous, real time, chat conversations.

What are your rules for THE CAGE Chat Rooms?

THE CAGE Chat Rules are as follows:

  • Racism, sexism, homophobia, or other offensive behaviours will not be tolerated
  • No posting of private chat logs or mail messages
  • No posting private contact details or links to external accounts
  • No soliciting for money or gifts
  • No advertising or spamming of any kind, including redirection to other sites
  • No illegal activity or solicitation to purchase or sell illicit or other items
  • Explicit chat should only happen in private rooms with consensual partners

If you are harassed in chat or witness a violation of the above rules take a screenshot if possible and file a report on the user by visiting his or her profile and using the "report" button. You can also choose to "Mute" any user you prefer not to interact with.

Violations of our chat rules may result in suspension from chat and possibly the site.

Why are there no moderators in the Chat Rooms?

THE CAGE believes in community moderation. That means any user can be reported by others if they are abusive, harass other users, or otherwise violate our rules. You can also block and mute other Chat Room users or create an invite only Chat Room for you and your friends.

Someone keeps bothering me in the Chat Rooms. What can I do?

We strongly encourage that any abusive or excessively rude behaviour is reported. Please visit the user’s profile and select the “report” button. Screenshots are particularly helpful when filing a report.

You can also visit the user's profile and block them. This prevents them from contacting you in any way, including in the Chat Rooms. If you'd prefer not to see this user's comments you can also choose to "Mute" them, which will hide their public comments from your view.

How can I prevent new people from private messaging me in chat?

If you are not interested in receiving new messages you can lock yourself by toggling the lock button. When locked people will not be able to message you except for those you are already chatting with in private.

While locked you can still start a new private chat with other users.

Once you engage with them, they will be able to respond to you.

How can I hide another user's chat comments?

You can click on the user name and choose "Mute" in the menu. You will not be able to see comments from users you've muted.
