Chat Guidelines: Mute vs. Not Mute
If a guest consistently behaves inappropriately, you may mute them. Muted individuals can still view the service and chat, but their messages will only be visible to themselves. Before resorting to muting, issue a gentle reminder in the public chat, followed by a private message if necessary. Emphasize that Free Chapel is a place where everyone is welcome.
Many attendees join Free Chapel Online expecting to be excluded due to their past or identity. Some might post provocative content to test this. By responding with kindness and patience, rather than immediate action, we can demonstrate grace, possibly for the first time for them. Witnessing these guests become regular members and eventually embrace faith is among the most rewarding aspects of serving at Free Chapel Online!
