Use appropriate language and don't harass, slander or abuse other chat room participants. And don't type in all caps; it's perceived as SHOUTING and therefore rude. If you don't want a someone to be able to IM you any longer, you can block them by clicking the "Block" link under their profile information. If you feel someone is not being polite or causing problems in the chat room you can click the "Warn" link under their profile info and they will receive a message that they have been warned. After a few warnings from different individuals, the person will be muted and you will no longer be able to view their conversation.
