Chatters make the bee line to the room to relax , enjoy , have fun and also discuss many topics of interest.....
Of course in any community or group of people they have to interact and see eye to eye...
Many are very happy to relax, and have casual talk which is nice.Imagine non stop of serious topics, it will be so boring. yet one should also remember why we are here. In that space of time when we are together online, regular topic of interests must be discussed which gives a solid feed back . While doing this the silent observer of the chat room should never disturb the active members right then. Rather read and then come in quietly with a formal hi and a brief view of the topic concerned. This leads in shredding out our shyness, gaining confidence getting introduced to new friends. Above all in an English platform practicing and developing English with fun. The main reason to why we all are here ,an International community joining hands through all barriers at My EC
Though casual , friendly and with no specfic topic, people develop their vocabulary build up their confidence.Freinds are indentified on room people relax with those whom they feel comfortable with , entwine themselves and develops topics of interest. It is more intersting when many join ,giving in to the others respecting their space sying oops when the other says your butting in to my space! As to what one member said angrily to me, the other day when I sad hi to the room.
I know many observers feel it is not worth joining in at the mains, do give it a try say the first hello on and off and you will find a group of people of people you are comfortable with, and believe me there is no looking back, when you get good friends to communicate meaningfully.
I know very well how it feels in interrupting, as it does lose focus on topic, so it would be better if we read what is on the mains and also make it a point to be polite and say excuse me may I ....
Some times there are many chatters having their dialog, immune to the numbers at the Mains,though It may look like a circus, it does go amicably well, using the mains as the platform.
Over the period of the history of the room, people come and go new comers joining in fresh as ever, it is up to the older hands to help them out if they go wee bit away from the rules. Tell them on private before taking any harsh decision on reporting :like as a big loving family we have to be patient and enduring .. too.
At our moderated chat room it is a fun place to practise English without exactly learning English as in the classroom. We should always keep in mind to respect the silent observer and the active chatters, by keeping only to English.
Why? as the other day one new comer asked me, why they could not talk in their language! Fair enough I told him our club is an English site.Of course after which, he adhered to the rules.
Surely it is rude to blabber in detail on the mains in another language, again you may ask me why ?The reason so we must always keep in mind up the standard of our club and the reason why it was created by Mr Josef and all the efforts of the people who work behind round the clock in keeping it of international repute.
Easy as this members are here to relax, and quench thier thirst in Englsih ....they do not need a dosage of another language ,which could be accessed in their respective links.
Since of late I noticed petty arguments leading to misunderstanding people impersonating to get back at each other .
Surely we are here to relax and be happy . Okay there is no serious topics all the time but bondage of love and freindship should always be kept in mind and respect to each others privacy and space.
A new comer makes an error the rest should also know to resolve amicably. There is a saying first impression lasts, it is something like that the firstmeeting if one is able to get along with civility and freindship and understanding, there will be not much of clashes,and will prevent old and new members leaving due to this.
The silent observer observing the clashes with no forgiveness at the end , too gets fed up of coming to the chat link, thus depriving others pleasure in using their precious leisure time at the moderated chat room of My EC.
Woah! I think I have written enough for today , the next topic will be about the rights of being verbally abused
Any feed back will be much appreciated:)
