The C-O-O-L Crew is known by their light blue icons in the chat rooms as well as their ranking image found on their profiles and on any posts they make.

DISRESPECTING C-O-O-L CREW
These C-O-O-L Crew Members are just fellow Christians trying to help us maintain the best Christian Chat Room on the Internet. We do not allow our members to violate the Terms of Use Agreement and when a C-O-O-L Crew member approaches a member, simply enforcing a policy of Christianity Oasis, we do not allow rude or disrespectful behavior. Choosing to do so will have you kicked and perhaps even banned depending on the offense.
