How to survive in group chats

Once I got into the group chat, in which seven people agreed on the organization of the conference. At first all went well. Then all seven people were send each other voice messages. A seven-man, than those are known, per unit of time are able to dictate more voice messages as seven people at the same time one can hear. Therefore, the entire chat turned into a chat unheard voice messages, dilute the text: "Well, Hear my voice!"

How to communicate in group chats, so as not to enrage not mad himself, and all the issues resolved quickly and peacefully?

1. If you can not create an extra group chat, do not create

Group chats should not be much. The more, the more notifications, and a higher risk that you will go wrong windows. If you already have a chat in which you collect the necessary people to talk, to discuss the issue in the same chat room.

For example, if you have already created a chat, which discusses a gift for a colleague, in a year to create a new chat room is not necessary. You can return to the old and to continue the discussion there.

2. Ask permission to add to the chat

If you plan to collect a chat, ask permission from each participant, which are going to add. Someone not interested in the topic, someone hates chats. Here you have included any innocent people in the conversation. If people do not hesitate, you come out of the chat. If you hesitate, you just turn off notifications. And if you hesitate to go, and can not turn off the notification, then you risk to be chatting with the most irritated and sad participants.

3. Speak Chat Rules

Think about chat rules and try to agree on them with all the participants. If you do initiate a chat, then inform the right people at the very moment when they are invited to, or secure the upper right message. If you are in a chat room, in which the rules of no one agreed, you can suggest some simple rules of interaction, such as not to flood and do not write at night.

4. By the way, yes - do not write at night

Not everyone can afford to turn off the phone notifications for the night. So if you want to write in group chat at night, then be patient until the morning, so as not to wake him.

5. Speak only that includes several people

Discuss personal issues in his personal correspondence. If there is a topic that is not related to the topic of the chat or concerns only one person, but not all participants, go into your private messages - there you will not disturb the people and not force them to be unwilling witnesses of your personal conversations.

6. Refrain from voice messages

submit voicemails in general chat, only if all the parties to write to you, "Valery Stepanovich, do not refuse, sing a song, our favorite, send us a voice." Here then uncovers a microphone, sing, and to submit to the chat. In other cases, the vocal group in correspondence lead to the fact that no one will listen: the flow of messages in group chats more than personal, and thus listen to all participants voiced users are not can. Be the voice for personal correspondences.

7. Do not break apart messages to different words

One phrase - one message. This rule works for personal correspondences, but should be particularly strict for the group is.

One person wrote:

It seems everything is clear, that he wanted to say. But chatting there is another person who writes about the same:

It seems too obvious. And then in one chat is all mixed up, because they write at the same time:

And if we talk to connect the third, fourth, fifth person, the conversation will turn into a meaningless set of words.

8. Do not send messages without meaning

Emoticons, Greetings, goodbyes do not carry meaning, but worried all the chat participants. It is sad to watch how twenty people are notified, get the smartphone, open the application, see the smiley face, close the app, clean smartphones again receive notification again get the smartphone, open the app again, see the second smiley - and so is repeated many time.

9. Call people who are applying for

If in a group chat a lot of people, and you are waiting for a response from only one, call his name, or select the tag. Then people will realize that refer to it, and more quickly respond.

10. Do not send links, files, images without comment

What are your interlocutors need to do to send information? How quickly? Tell us why you sent it, and users understand how to react. No one would open the link if you have not explained that this link was published.

11. Learn how to turn off notifications

To minimize irritation due chats, disconnect notices. Almost every messenger, you can disable notifications for individual conversations. And if the conversation has become too annoying and useless safely leave the chat.

How do you know it's time to leave the conversation? If you have accumulated several hundred unread messages in the chat, then chances are you will not read them ever. Feel free to run this ship.
