| Dec 19, 2025 at 10:26 | comment | added | Gimby | Yeah it can mostly be a link to an external page with the list of what not to do, just like the CoC is. "English only" is the only thing this popup specifically needs to spell out. | |
| Dec 18, 2025 at 22:12 | comment | added | zcoop98 | This has the same vibe as those "[x] I agree to this Terms of Service" entry pages. Maybe too blunt, but that's atrocious as an introductory page. | |
| Dec 18, 2025 at 14:19 | comment | added | Lundin | I agree that this needs to be boiled down to 3 sentences. There still needs to be a place where the room rules can be found, but that's a separate thing. The purpose of the modal is to teach people 1) this is a chat, there are humans here 2) This is not an AI 3) English please. | |
