Welcome to the NSWYAWA Chat Rooms. These Chat Rooms are a great place to come together, meet others with arthritis, share experiences, ask questions and share tips and advice.

As with any aspect of life - there are a few rules that need to be followed while you're mingling with the other visitors in the chat room.

1. Always remember that the these are real people that you're talking to. Sometimes it's easy to fly off the handle a bit faster when you're not sitting across from someone and actually looking at them as you speak. Real people, real problems, real feelings - just like you. So before you hit that enter button - stop and think about how it's going to make the other people in the room feel.

2. Bear in mind that a "newbie" could pop into the room at any time. We'd hate to run anyone off because they came in the room and things were so out of control they couldn't deal with it. Most people are here because they're looking for support, advice, or guidance. So let's try to keep it to a low roar and watch the raunchy and obscene language.

3. These chat rooms are regularly monitored and all chats are logged. Foul language, inappropriate discussions, racial slurs, or name calling of any type will not be tolerated. The offender may be banned from the room without warning. There are millions of chat rooms on the web. If you feel the need to discuss something not considered appropriate for this forum, use one of those!

4. If you have problems using the chat, read the FAQ or drop us a line at yawa@arthritisnsw.org.au and we'll take care of it.

Now that we're done with all the boring stuff - what are you waiting for? Get in there and start chatting!
