Stay on the Nice List
- Read the pinned message at the top of chat — it has today’s rules.
- Send one message, then give it a moment before the next.
- Ask your question once. Santa and the elves see it, even if they don’t answer right away.
- Skip ALL CAPS — it reads like shouting.
- Keep emoji to a few per message.
- Don’t post links, phone numbers, or emails.
- Don’t promote other channels or ask for subs.
- Be kind to other viewers, even when you disagree.
- Respect slow mode — wait for the timer before sending again.
- Listen to the moderators. If a mod asks you to stop something, stop.
Elf tip: Excited? We get it! Instead of repeating a message, add a new thought — it’s much more likely to get noticed.
