In the chat, the same applies as everywhere at JOYCE: Respectful interaction wins. A small guide for enjoyable interaction in the JOYCE chat.
Tip #1: Be cordial, but not demanding
A friendly "Hello" when entering a chat room draws attention to you. On the other hand, avoid getting straight to the point or making intrusive requests for private contact. Less is often more. It is therefore useful to perceive the current mood and topic in the chat and then join the conversation. Generally: Friendliness wins!
Tip #2: Write understandably and avoid spam
Writing entire words or even sentences in capital letters is often equated with shouting in chat communication. However, no one wants to be shouted at. As always in written communication, the same applies in chat: Grammar and punctuation marks aid comprehension. Avoid spam-like repetition of chat messages if other members have not responded to them.
Tip #3: A look at the profile helps
Would you like to get into a deeper conversation with another member? First look at the profile before asking intimate questions. You can find a lot of information there already and can thus start a personalized conversation, but also avoid faux pas. When in doubt, you often score more with an innocuous conversation starter. And of course, the JOYCE chat is no exception: The values of our Community Guide give you security!
