Some helpful chat tips

[Andrew]

Ahoy me hearties!

Some of you may know most of this, others may not. Here are some tips for using the chat in Pirates of The Carribean Online

For ages 13 and below
Unless you have gotten open chat on your own, you will have what we call "Safe chat" or "cross chat"
You are limited to what you can say when you have safe chat. You can't say much with safe chat, unless its pirate or game-related.If you say a word that isnt in the POTCO dictionary, all you will get is arrr, which is Disney saying "hey this isnt in our dictionary, make it pirate related!"
If you are wondering how you can get open chat, see Christopher Trueshot's guide on How to get open chat!

For ages 13 and above
By default, you should get open chat at the age of 13. With open chat, you can speak freely, but you are still partially limited. Some words that are found to be innapropriate will be filtered, no, you wont get the arrr thing, but it will be filtered to where nothing appears in the chat box.

Someone with open chat talking to someone with safe chat
This is hard for some, but its the way the chat runs. If you have open chat, and you are trying to talk to someone who has safe chat, you must turn the + on in your chat box. This will make the one with open chat, have safe chat temporarily, but you can turn it off as soon as you are done talking to the one with safe chat

Giving away websites
I wouldnt say a website unless its like a guild site, or may POF. You can not say the full URL though, you would have to flood it. Dont give away things like your e-mail or a website that contains all of your information
Ex.
pirates (press enter)
online (press enter)
forums (press enter)
. (press enter)
com (press enter)

Keep all of your info safe
Never ask, or give away ANY of your account info (at least not in the game) I can assure you will be caught right away and could be banned/suspended. If you are trying to link accounts with a friend with someone, dont do it in the game, use Instant messenger or something like that.

Spamming
Please do your best not to spam the chat. Be courteous of others who also use the chat. If you are spamming, you can slow everyone else down, or worse, you can lag them out. If you want to spam on your own, dont do it in crew or guild.

Using speed chat phrases
When you are using speed chat phrases, you can talk to ANYONE. Even if someone with open chat is talking to someone with safe chat, you can still talk to them using the speed chat phrases.
Some notes: Even if you are ignoring someone, if they are using speed chat phrases, you can still hear them! If you are being ignored, and you know it, please dont use speed chat phrases just to get attention. If you are ignoring someone, they cannot whisper, go to, crew you, or send you a friend request. You can very easily just teleport away to avoid them, and they cant follow

If you have any questions on this, please ask, and thanks in advance for the comments!
