Banned from a Chat Room?

What is a chat room ban?

A 'ban' is a more permanent restriction from a particular chat room. This 'ban' will not expire and will only restrict you from the particular chat room that you have been 'banned' from.

The 'admins' of a chat room may restrict entry to any user for any reason that they see fit. With the exception of official Matrix Messenger help lobbies and 'special feature' chat rooms all chat rooms on Matrix Messenger are run by ordinary users.

At times you may find that the 'admins' of a particular chat room are not friendly or do not run their chat room well. Please understand that Matrix Messenger does not endorse or condone 'abusive' behavior by those who run or 'admin' chat rooms.

If you encounter poorly run chat rooms we encourage you to browse through the list of other chat rooms that are available to find another that you feel more welcome in. Press the 'Rooms' button on your friends list window to find more chat rooms.

Poorly run chat rooms will obviously not be popular and will 'whither and die on the vine'. Matrix Messenger will not interfere with the private 'banning' practices of chat room 'admins' unless the issue involves the rating of the chat room, illegal activity, or direct threats of violence to other users.
