We are really glad you chose Christian Chat Africa to chat online. We are committed to ensure your experience of online chat is a good and safe one. The Christian Chat Africa Safety Centre, provides you with advice and tools to protect yourself whilst using our chat rooms.
Christian Chat Africa work hard to make the chat rooms on this site as safe as possible. This starts when you first visit the site, you must register accurate details and agree to our rules. Dedicated volunteers (Monitors) monitor the rooms and our automated monitoring system records IP address and connection times for every user and all messages (including private messages) are logged. We believe that our chat site is safer to use than other instant messaging programmes. However despite these security measures, it is still crucially important to use common sense when using Internet chat.
An online chat venue is similar to a real society which can't run smoothly without some basic rules. Please ensure you familiarise yourself with these before using chat. [more info]
Christian Chat Africa recommend that users do not under any circumstances disclose their name, address, email address, telephone number or other personal information while online. This also includes any personal information on your profile. Our Monitors will never request such details online. It is advisable for parents to ensure their children are aware of this. Do not share your personal details, particularly your work or home addresses.
When you log into chat, you choose a chat nickname. Your first line of defense is to choose a chat nickname that is not your real name, or location.
Dedicated volunteers called "Monitors" monitor all of our chat rooms. You can identify a monitor in the list of people in a room as their name is highlighted red or green. Our Monitors are experienced in using our chat rooms, so if you are stuck with anything your they are there to guide you! If someone is causing problems in Christian Chat Africa you should highlight that activity to a monitor - you will need to tell them the name of the person and the time of the incident.
