Title: Rules for Live Chat
Post by: OldFatGuy on March 05, 2009, 06:37PM
As you know, Órlagh has agreed to join us here for a live chat at 2 PM Eastern time this Saturday, 7th March. Her time is limited, and we're expecting a huge turnout, so we're going to have to establish some ground rules. These rules will be strictly enforced, and there will be a zero-tolerance policy in effect. We'll have a team of moderators on duty, and anyone breaking these rules will be quickly and unceremoniously removed from the room. - The sign-up list was posted here - http://celticwomanforum.com/index.php?topic=6915.0 (http://celticwomanforum.com/index.php?topic=6915.0) on 23rd February. Sign-up was mandatory if you want to ask a question. Silent observers do not need to register. We've had so many people pre-register that the sign-up thread has been locked.
- Órlagh may want to make a few opening remarks. Attendees - pre-registered or not - may then take a few moments to greet her and thank her for coming.
- Once we say we are ready to start the question and answer period, all unrelated chatter will stop.
- Pre-registered guests may ask their questions in the order in which they signed up (see list below). Please use good judgment and do not ask lengthy, multi-part questions.
- Please do not ask duplicate questions.
- We recommend that you prepare a list of 3 or 4 questions in Notepad prior to the chat. That way, you can cross off any that are asked before it is your turn, and simply copy and paste your question.
- Anyone who sends Órlagh a private message will be immediately removed from the chat.
- Anyone who is pre-registered but arrives after their turn has passed will be moved to the end of the list
- We have 46 pre-registered members. We don't even know if we'll have time to get to everyone. If Órlagh has to leave before your question is asked, we will email her a list of the final questions and post her answers on the forum.
- IF there is any time left after the pre-registered guests have asked their questions (and that's a very big "if"), we will try to accommodate some random chat, as long as it's respectful and not too chaotic.
- We will save the chat transcript and post it on the CW forum and on Órlagh's forum, so everyone can read and save it.
