User blog:HopelessNightOwl/Returning after three years, glad to see chat is gone

I guess I'm not really "returning" since I was never active on this wiki, but I was an admin on SOG three years ago and I sometimes visited this wiki and its chat. For the past few weeks I'd been thinking about becoming active here, but was hesitant because I remembered the drama that seemed almost entirely fueled by chat stuff. In particular I remember how it seemed like a large portion of wiki and chat activity was taken up by people complaining about or debating the merits of a recent decision to ban the word "c#nt", something that probably would not have been an issue without chat. So yeah, I finally decided to post a pasta, and was relieved to discover that the thing that would cause such a profoundly stupid dillema and was always on the verge of having some of its other BS spill over onto the wiki had been nixed for good.
