(Learning is so much more enjoyable when we do it all together, so tag a listener and invite them to come join us to share their opinions!)

Maintaining a calm attitude and being professional is the key.

It mostly depends on what type of inappropriateness is their comment, so I could act on it.

But generally speaking, I will address that their behaviour is disrespectful and against the platform's guidelines, inform them that if they want to go on with this chat they have to be understanding to boundaries and maintain mutual respect, redirect the chat on the main issue discussed in 1-1 chat, give warnings, and for the last resort block and report them.

If the chat left an impact on me for how difficult it is, I get to contact a PS and talk it through with them for support.

@goldenLion1121 I want to help and support you, but it's important that we maintain a respectful and constructive conversation. If you're feeling frustrated or upset, I’m happy to listen and talk things through. However, being rude or inappropriate isn’t something I can engage with. Let's keep this conversation respectful so I can continue to support you.
