I will be adding to this page as the info and questions come in!
We would like to make all of our chatters aware of our Message Board Guidelines.
They apply to the Chat Room also.
Chat Guidelines:
We are very glad that you have decided to join our community! However, to ensure a safe and happy chat room for everyone, we ask that you follow a few simple guidelines:
-
When choosing a nickname for the chat room, please pick one and stick with it so we can get to know you!
-
We can’t always talk about weight loss and weight loss issues so please make sure your choices for topics are not controversial. The rule of thumb is no politics, no religion and no sex.
-
Encourage each other on your weight loss journeys. Negative and degrading talk will not be tolerated.
-
Please support the moderators! It’s not an easy job and they do not get paid for what they do. Let them do their job and keep the chat room safe for everyone!
-
For safety’s sake, do not give out your email address in the main chat room. If you wish to share it with another chatter, please do so in a private message.
-
Finally, no business solicitations. Dotti’s chat room is a place for fun, support and discussion.

Ignore User Icon (Face with ear on it) - Highlight a user and click on this icon to Ignore that user - their messages will NOT show up on the screen. You can Ignore as many as you wish.
How do you change Fonts?

Click on your "settings" button (bottom right) and choose the "options" tab. You may choose Very slow, slow, normal, fast and very fast. You can also check off the box to Enable Auto-Popup of Private Mesages here.

Click on your "settings" button (bottom right) and choose the Icon you want to use. Icons will change periodically as we are allowed 40 at one time!
How many users can be in the Chat at one time?
50 users
Why are some words coming up *censored*?
That is our ChatWatch - we have bleeped out BAD words with *censored*.
Why are some users arriving in a different Font color?
The Chat Monitors will arrive in BLUE font - they will have the ability to kick out and ban users that are being disruptive and obnoxious. They will have the option of just kicking them out or banning their IP's. We hope to have many of the regulars become Chat Monitors so that someone is available to take care of the crashers! If none are in there when it happens, just IGNORE them!
Flo, Barbara, Lissa & I have FULL admin duties so we will arrive in RED Font
What are Emoticons and how do you use them?
These are the emoticons available in our DWLZ Chat Room. When you type the code exactly as you see it [embarrassed, sick…] the emoticon takes its place (might take a while to load the first time you use it).
