Two people talking about their penis isn't exactly inappropriate, as long as it doesn't go into more "erotic" things (which does not happen). All my point is that the chat is just going to end up as a graveyard because nobody will join and nobody will say anything because they'll be scared to post a thing, due in part to people being so literal about rules.

Like I said: "When one obeys the letter of the law but not the spirit, one is obeying the literal interpretation of the words (the 'letter') of the law, but not the intent of those who wrote the law. Conversely, when one obeys the spirit of the law but not the letter, one is doing what the authors of the law intended, though not necessarily adhering to the literal wording." Seems to me you want to make the chat a place where everyone has to follow the rules to the letter and not the spirit.
