What is the Report feature?
The report feature is something you can use to report a bad post. Please use it instead of trying to start a fight.

What you are doing is not helping and is also bumping the offending topic to the top of the forum.

A good post: Sorry, you've posted something irrelevant. Please do not do it again.
What is a Moderator?
A Moderator is someone who has been picked by us the staff to help out with the website such as keeping Chill Chat clean and delete inappropriate content.
Please do not ask for a Moderator position. We will pick them ourselves and asking will ruin your chances of becoming one. We also do not accept recommendations for Helpers.

If you can't post a new topic in one of the sections, it is because only special users can post new topics such as the Administrators and/or Moderators.

Moderation colours are only used by staff. Normal members are not allowed to use it. Moderation colours are used to make points stand out. My moderation colour is lime green. Please do not post irrelevant content.
