Why not ask your teacher to set up a class discussion forum in your school, to see if everyone can follow these guidelines?

Discussion Forums

A discussion forum is where you can 'chat' with other online users. Starz discussion forums are moderated and so comments will only be approved if they meet the Starz forum rules.

Why is this...?

Well, we don't know who is reading the postings in the forum.

They may be:

So to Chat Safe, postings have to meet the Starz Rules... 

If your forum postings do not meet the rules:

• they may not be approved
• you may receive a message from the forum moderator     
• your school may be contacted            
• your account may be deactivated

Chat Safe ~ Starz Rules

READ ~ STAY ~ FOLLOW ~ THINK ~ NEVER

  READ the topic carefully, are you in the right forum?

   STAY on topic

   FOLLOW other postings carefully before replying

   THINK before you submit your post

• does it say what you want it to say?
• make sure it's not an angry or upsetting reply(capital letters means you're SHOUTING! )
• will other people understand it? - don't use 'text speak'
• remember that a real person, who you might not know, will read your comment.

   NEVER give out any one's personal details

• no surnames
• no telephone numbers
• no addresses including email addresses
• no details about where you live
• do not give your school name
