·  Why must I write in English?

We are aware that our members are from around the world and some do not use English as their first language. However, English is the only language allowed in chat. By keeping DFM as an English only site it will maintain continuity while allowing Admins and Mods the ability to monitor the chat.

·  What about Freedom of Speech?

This is a privately owned site. Freedom of Speech does not apply if it is outside the acceptable guidelines previously stated. If there is any confusion, please contact a Moderator or Admin before writing it or posting a link.

·  Why do I need to register to use the chat function?

If you wish to request music, post to the forums, make use of the private messaging or participate in chat, you must be registered. This ensures accountability of our members.

·  What are the keyword links in chat?

Keywords are specific words that show up as hyperlinks to specific URLs when used in chat. For example, writing #DFM# will appear in chat as: Death.FM. The words are not case-sensitive so it doesn't matter if you write #DFM# or #dfm#. All links will open in a new page since some of you might be using the undocked chat or @work. Here's the list of keywords:

·  What are smileys?

Smileys, or emoticons, are small graphical images which can be used to express some feelings using a short code, (example: Smile means happy, Frown means sad.) Click the =) in chat for a table of available smileys. Try not to overuse smileys though, they can quickly render a post unreadable and a Moderator may decide to edit them out or remove the post altogether.

[ Back to Top ]

·  Can I use HTML?

No, HTML is disabled in chat. However, selected BB commands can be used in chat. Click the ? in chat to get more information about ClearChat, and visit the Forum Code Tutorial as many commands work for both the Chat and Forums.

[ Back to Top ]

·  What is a "PM"?

"PM" stands for Private Message. This is not a function of the Chat system. Please see the Forum FAQ for more information.

[ Back to Top ]

·  Why doesn’t the chat time match my time zone?

The chat time is set at Eastern Time. This is where the server is located. This time cannot be changed.

[ Back to Top ]

·  Why do Moderators keep posting announcements in chat?

Moderators often post announcements in chat to make members of the DFM community aware of important information including site updates, contests, upcoming events or any other information deemed important to share with the community.

[ Back to Top ]

·  What do the various notations at the top of the chat box mean?

Undock = a resizable window separate from the general site. @W = same as Undock, just in a black & white format. Log = a chat log for the previous 1000 lines. =) = a list of available smileys for use in chat ? = ClearChat Help/FAQ

[ Back to Top ]

·  Why doesn’t this site have more than one chat room or private chat rooms like Yahoo!?

DFM decided not to add private chat rooms. If you want a private conversation with someone, please send a Private Message.

[ Back to Top ]

·  Spoiler warnings? What's that?

Spoiler warnings are the blacked out words in the chat. If you're about to post something about a TV show, Movie, Book or something else where you might be "spoiling" the story for someone, please post a spoiler warning... ***SPOILER WARNING*** Use the BB tags [ spoiler ] [ /spoiler ] (without the spaces)

[ Back to Top ]

·  Why is the chat so slow? Why not make it like an IRC chat?

A lot of members visit DFM chat while at work. Therefore, the slower pace makes it easier to follow while doing something else. Also, many firewalls block IRC connections.

[ Back to Top ]

·  Can I post links in chat?

Yes! Please try to keep content family and work friendly, but if you want to post a link that is a little risque' or possibly offensive to anyone please start your post with: **WARNING: Possibly Offensive Content**. This way other members will know it may not be suitable for work or whatever environment they are in. And they have a choice to click on it or not.
