My prediction? If this passes, it will be a big step on the path of chat destroying itself. I'm completely okay with that. I probably should've saved myself the time and never weighed in at all. Oh well, it would've been wrong if I didn't try to talk you guys out of voting to give yourselves enough rope to hang yourselves with. Idiom not used for lynching parallel.

Really, no matter what happens, the decision is good for me. If it doesn't pass, if it does and works out fine or if it does and things don't go well. It's winners for me all across the board. It very much will be, and that's why this is a harmful step that I'm surprised people seem so willing to want to take. I thought everyone was aware that chat would need to have stricter rules (and moderators) this time around, but apprently that's not the case.

I think we all need a reminder that chat is a prviliege. We have the responsibility of behaving ourselves if we want to keep it. If we lose it again, it's not coming back.
