Thank God chat was brought back, so we get to go back to dealing with this shit. Honestly, my immediate reaction to this is to just shut it down. Chat coming back has, so far, brought nothing but the same old problems. Drama, bitching about rules, problems with mods, just people being jackasses all the time.

It really doesn't matter what happens with this rule. Institute it and there will be drama and people crying about how chat isn't fun and nobody can do anything. People will still make the jokes. Now, they'll just get banned and then they'll bitch about the ban. Don't institute it and mods still have the ability to kick and ban at their discretion, which they probably should have done with this situation. Whatever happens, people will still make the jokes, they can still get banned and people will still bitch.

In the beginning, my attitude was to try to steer policy to keep chat from destroying itself. I don't give a shit anymore. It's becoming increasingly obvious that a final chat shutdown is inevitable.
