MXit offers our users the ability to communicate with other users without disclosing their phone numbers in the chatroom. MXit has one of the most secure chat room services to be found. Examples of some of the precautions we have taken are listed below:
- All teenagers chat rooms (Like TeenZone) have profanity filters (this means that swearwords are replaced by ##### symbols) .
- Moderators assiduously monitor the rooms on an ad hoc basis granted, we would like to have more moderators, but we do what we can with the number we have.
- No user profiles, which normally include personal details and photographs, are stored. There are many chat rooms that do store user profiles.
- The MXit chat room acts as a cocoon. The user remains completely anonymous while in the chat room, and as long as he/she does not puncture this cocoon by revealing any personal info (this includes that of friends/family), he/she remains safe in his/her anonymity.
- All MXit chat rooms are public by default with a limited number of people in them - so every person can see every message and can respond.
- Users can at any time leave a chat room or type the .ignore command to ignore someone who is abusive.
- Every time users enter the chat rooms we remind them to keep their personal info confidential.
- None of our chat room names or descriptions has any sexual slant and we strongly discourage any form of discriminination and/or explicit sexual chat.
- By using our website, users can report abuse.
- We publish safe chatting tips on our website and forum in a number of places. For the full document, please cleick the link above.
- A shorter version of safe chatting tips is built into the MXit phone application and users are constantly reminded to view it. - just text SAFE to info.
