Mission Statement:
To provide an online community including chat and forums to meet and make friends, find love and have fun. Our hope is to never close down like many other chats have done.
Philosophy:
Some chats control everything you say and do, others live by the motto "anything goes". We hope to fall somewhere in the middle. While everyone has an opinion and should be allowed to voice it, there also has to be a limit. Excessive swearing and name calling is just not necessary. Ranting, raving and preaching an opinion is not necessary. These are the things that make chatters log out which is not our goal. Having said all that, keep in mind that everyone is human and makes mistakes. Moderation is an art, not an exact science, and we are by no means perfect. If you are having issues, discuss them with a moderator or admin and we will do what we can to help in accordance with the Terms of Service.
I've added HotSpot Chat for a place less moderated. If you like to speak your mind and don't care what words you use to do it, this would be the place for you. This is definitely an 18+ chat with an adult theme.
A little bit about Trolls:
What is a Troll? - Trolls are a nuisance. They purposefully cause annoyance to other users, but their approach can, and does, vary. Some trolls are obvious, some are not. They range from simply being bored and trying to get a 'rise' out of you, to trying to get you to leave chat altogether. Mostly, it's about getting negative attention.
BE CALM:
Don't rise to their antagonising attitude.
DON'T LOWER YOURSELF TO THEIR LEVEL:
Don't start throwing insults at them. It's what they want.
PAY A COMPLIMENT:
It is the last thing they are expecting - and the opposite of what they want.
WILL THIS GET RID OF ALL TROLLS?
No, but in time they will tire if they are not getting a reaction.
When all else fails, USE IGNORE:
The Ignore feature is there for a reason, and it is your most powerful weapon.
REMEMBER:
Without attention, Trolls are nothing.

Terms of Service: (Revised 10-2-2011)
Before using DewDadsWeb Chat, Forums, Shoutboxes and other services, you agree to the following:
You are at least 18 years of age.
If you abuse this service, you may be blocked (banned), and will no longer be able to use this service. You may instead be kicked out of chat, silenced or restricted from some rooms depending on the type of abuse.
Abuse of service includes (but is not limited to) the following:
-harrasment of other users
-continually fighting or arguing with other users
-name calling or swearing at other users
-pornography
-defamation
-slander or libel
-crime of any kind
-arguments or rants that detract from the essential topic of the chat
-religious or anti-religious rants
-racism
-violence
-fraud
-excessive swearing
-ignoring a Moderator or Administrator's questions, instructions or suggestions
-deliberate posting to the wrong section
-having more than a few nicknames
-posting spam or advertising of other web sites or businesses, especially other chat sites
(posting an occasional link or you tube link is not considered advertising/spamming)
(recommending or posting links to other chat sites is strictly prohibited)
-using nicknames or similar nicknames already in use by others
(often called imposters or cloning)
In chat, as in real life, you will find people you do not like and those who don't like you. Use the IGNORE option. While you may speak your opinion of someone, you may not swear at them or use name-calling. Say it once and move on. If you dwell on or continue fighting with others, you will be silenced or removed from chat. Fighting between users often disturbs the other users and causes them to leave chat. If you do not like what someone is saying, IGNORE THEM.
Please keep in mind that DewDadsWeb does not mediate disputes between users and is not concerned with the details of any dispute except that users follow these Terms Of Service (TOS).
Please refrain from normal conversation in the Game Room while a game is active. Excessive conversation makes it harder for the Game Host to see answers.
As an alternative to banning a user from chat, offenders may be "gagged". A gagged user is restricted to using the default chat room and will not have the ability to Private Message, create rooms or to create a new user account. This person would have the same level of access that a Guest user would have. Guest users are encouraged to register their name to experience the full level of access and usage of all chat features.
If you are banned, you may e-mail the administration to be un-banned, which is solely at the discretion of the Administrator. The Administrator's decision is final (there is no appeal). You may also be banned as a result of complaints from other users. In certain cases the Administrator may contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to have your account cancelled if your abuse violates your ISP's Terms and Conditions.
Most bans are removed within 30 to 90 days, although, some bans may be kept indefinitely at the discretion of the Administrator.
DewDadsWeb provides this site free of charge and undertakes no responsibility to review or screen any items that appear resulting from its use. DewDadsWeb assumes no liability or responsibility for the content of any posting. This site is provided without warranty of any kind, express or implied. Each user is responsible for complying with these TOS. Each user should keep in mind that any web site is not completely secure and should never give any personal information to other users including real name, address, phone number, or other identifying information. The administration will not request this type of information in an open forum for any reason. Never release your password(s) to anyone. Administration can only reset your passwords when necessary. At this time there is no way to change your password without the assistance of the Administrator.
DewDadsWeb expressly disclaims any and all warranties, express or implied, as to the truthfulness of the postings, and specifically disclaims any and all warranties, express or implied, of merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose or use. DewDadsWeb accepts no liability for the accuracy of any information contained in the service, for the content of any posting or for any action taken based on any posting.
DewDadsWeb shall not be liable to any other party or any third-party for third-party claims or losses of any nature, including but not limited to, lost profits, or punitive or consequential damages.
DewDadsWeb reserves the right to remove any posting at any time, to ban or block any user or postings by any user, and to modify or discontinue this service without warning. Users occupying chat but not participating will be removed from chat and/or banned from chat if they continue this practice. Chat space is limited so please only use chat if you plan to participate. Users are warned in advance so simply notify the moderator if you are conversing in private - this issue pertains to users who are bypassing the automatic time-out feature and are not participating in any conversation.
Report any abuse of these terms to the admin, moderator or take a screen shot and email to us. If you cannot screen shot, tell the admin the date and time the abuse occurred. Admin may be unable to assist you without this information. Use the email address at the top of this page. In DewDadsWeb Chat, you now have the option to right-click on a user's name in the User List, select Report This User and follow the directions to report abuse.
Alternative chat rooms are available from links on the main page. Alternative chats are usually unmoderated, so use at your own risk. These rooms are still subject to these Terms Of Service, but will not be actively monitored.
