Chatroom #politics is like your favourite newsgroup, but faster. Immediate feedback or deafening silence, all in real time.

Because everyone is there and looking when you post, debate often turns into normal chatroom conversation, and after you've posted for a bit you'll get a sense of the community of the place. To help things run smoothly here, we`ve come up with a small handful of rules.

• Avoid personal abuse
• No racial or religious slurs
• Don`t use the channel to incite violence

• Have fun, and we`ll see you online!
