**Update**:  The "No Dating" rule has been re-instated.  Punishments to your account will occur if seen dating on Chobots.

Hello Cho's
Recently, there have been a few internal meetings with staff, as well as consulting with councillors, and the staff has finally concluded that a change to the rules is in order.  Administration has spent much time on discussing on which rules they would wish to change or remove from the official list of rules.  After talking with a select group of Chobots, the staff has finally decided which rules they would like to omit from the official list.

  • Advertising - Promoting websites that have no relation in Chobots in any way.
  • Asking for agency - Asking a moderator to become an agent without any signs of working for it.
  • Asking for items - Begging and annoying other users by constantly asking for items of theirs.
  • Controversial discussion - Talking about touchy topics such as religion, sexuality, etc.
  • Asking for gifts - Begging/annoying users for free gifts and items
The staff thought it was time to start evolving the rules, since the age group and maturity of Chobots is gradually starting to increase.  The Chobots Team would also like to put out there that even if the "No Dating" rule has been removed from the list, that they, in no way, encourages the users of Chobots to engage in online relationships, and if you do decide to, it is best to take steps back and evaluate what you are committing to before doing so.

As mentioned by the team many times, Chobots is a game that is run by the community for the community.  They are here to provide it's community with friendly support and ensure that everyone is enjoying themselves in a more safe environment, and not "police" your thoughts and opinions, your actions, and do not in any way want to restrict your social freedom.  They believe that it is on us to figure out what is right and what is wrong.

Your account may not be punished for violating any of these rules from here on out, but the community will frown upon your actions.  There is a line that is not to be crossed.  Moderators can still suspend your account they feel that you are disrupting the other player's gameplay, even if breaking a rule that was omitted.

The team encourages to email support@chobots.net with any issues or concerns you may have.

Stay safe!
