Blab is the place for YOU to say what's on
your mind and interact with other nick.com visitors. And while we
here at nick.com HQ are huge fans of freedom of speech, we also
understand that there are some things that shouldn't be said online.
Here are a few rules to Blab by:
1. NEVER give out your password or
any personal information here at nick.com or anywhere on the Web.
No one from nick.com will ever ask you for it (except when you're
logging on, of course).
2. NEVER give out your home address,
hometown, IM name, other website usernames or telephone number
here at nick.com or anywhere on the Web.
Any postings or chat questions with this info will be deleted
immediately.
3. NO cursing. Swearing,
cussing, using dirty wordswhatever you call it, don't do
it here. And don't try to fake us out by using symbols or spelling
the words wrong, either. Our moderators have been in the biz for
a while now, and they've seen it all. Any postings or chat questions
with inappropriate language will be deleted immediately, along
with anything interesting you might have written.
4. NO harassing. Be
nice, people. Any postings or chat questions including personal
attacks or threatening, violent, sexual or downright mean commentsincluding
using the word "duh" or calling somebody stupidwill
be deleted immediately. So will any postings or chat questions
including negative images of anyone's race, religion, gender,
ethnicity or sexual orientation. No joke.
5. NO breaking the lawor
encouraging other people to. Whatever you might think about things
like underage drinking, doing drugs or other things that are illegal,
Blab is not the place to encourage anyone to do anything illegal.
Any postings or chat questions that promote illegal activities
like these will be deleted.
6. STAY on topic.
If you're on a "Rugrats" board, post about the babies. If you're
in a chat with Aaron Carter, send in questions about AC. Blabbing
about stuff that doesn't relate to the board or chat topic wastes
space and time.
7. DON'T include links or email addresses
in your post. Nick.com doesn't link
out to other sites we don't review first, and we can't post anyone's
email address. Postings or chat questions including links or email
addresses will be deleted.
8. BE yourself. When
you're chatting or posting on a message board, don't pretend you're
someone else. You wouldn't want someone pretending to be YOU,
would you? Exactly.
9. YOU must be under 18 to post. Nick.com
chats and message boards are for kids only. Any messages from
posters 18 or older will be deleted. Except the moderators, of
course!
10. NEVER use your full name or in
your NickName. When you create your
myNick NickName, don't include both your first and last names,
and don't use any foul language or bad words. NickNames that include
a full name or a bad word will be deleted.
Ok, so now that we've listed all the things you
CAN'T say in Blab, you're probably wondering what you CAN say.
Well, we don't actually have a list of those thingsbecause
it would be too long! So go on, Blab your head off. But before
you do, here's a couple things to think about called the Nick.com
Terms and Conditions:
If you see something you don't like, remember
that all the stuff on the message boards, chat rooms and "Write
to Nick.com" comes straight from other kids, not from someone
at nick.com. Nick.com wouldn't tell kids what to say, because
kids have minds of their own! But if someone sends ugly messages,
we'll do our best to take care of it. We all want nick.com to
be a good, clean place to hang out.
If you write something that catches our eye
in "Write to Nick.com," on a message board or in a chat room,
we might want to use it on the site. By sending in your thoughts
and hanging out in the chat rooms, and getting your parent’s permission
to do so, you your parents are telling us it's ok to repeat what
you say. It's even ok to put it in an advertisement. It means
we can use it in any way we want, anywhere, until the end of time.
And wouldn't it be cool if we used something YOU said until the
end of time?
Remember to ALWAYS check with your parents
before you send anything to us. After all, they might want it to
put on the fridge!
