While WikiAnswers was designed to be a knowledge-sharing website through specific questions and answers, chatting on personal message boards is acceptable as long as it is within the site's Terms of Use.
Chatting only- though greatly discouraged and frowned upon- is not forbidden from the site. Unless the contributor is cyberbullying or violating another policy on WikiAnswers, it is not necessary to report them to a Supervisor.
No. Chatting is not against the rules of WikiAnswers.
Excessive chatting may preclude a contributor from become a supervisor. WikiAnswers is designed to be a Question and Answer website, not a chatting website.(Also see Related question.)
Not if your chatting with 12 year olds!
Yes, dating on WikiAnswers is wrong. WikiAnswers is not an online chatting or dating service, and should not be used as such. WikiAnswers is a question and answer site, and should only be used as that and not a dating service.
If the particular wiki software supports the proper character set, then it should be possible to do this. Please realize, though, that WikiAnswers is not a chat site; chatting should be limited to an individual user's message board.
some of the bad things for chatting is "waste of time and money specially for student.." can you explain to me about this bad things??
WikiAnswers is mostly for Questions and Answering, but for the group of individuals that enjoy chatting on the site, we have installed a Community Forum at your finger tips! It is right in the navigation :)
Chatting on Message BoardsIn the past, idle chatter on the WikiAnswers' user message boards was frowned upon, and in extreme cases, received a block from using WikiAnswers' services at all - particularly if the user(s) involved made no real contribution to the WikiAnswers Q&A or community. Now, chatting is allowable on user message boards, except for extremes - which may receive the attention of a Supervisor with a warning message. WikiAnswers was not intended to be used as an IM (instant messaging) service all day long, so that would be an extreme. However, we would still like to have you participate and contribute quality answers or contributions to the site! Community is a part of WikiAnswers.
No, there are no chat rooms. If you'd like to chat with your friends, you can use a social website. WikiAnswers is just for asking questions and waiting for an answer. However, there is a special Community Forum here on Wikianswers.com where you can post messages. See the page link further down this page.
Hells yes, tell that to the english essay I still have to write.
That depends on your definition of strict. WikiAnswers maintains rules and standards to provide a valuable online resource to people with questions. Consequently, WA does not tolerate chatting, nonsense, profanity, pornography, hacking, cyberbullying, and vandalism. Some might consider this strict. WikiAnswers considers this necessary.
