I completely understand the two-week shutdown, but switching it off permanently is a poor solution. Most of that are in the chat aren't even editors. They just sit around in the chat and do the following:
 * 1) Talk about penises/sex
 * 2) Cause drama about the word "cunt"
 * 3) Look at me! I'm Jeff the Killer!
 * 4) Cause drama about stupid situations. Even if it's something like "Oh. Great. Another ___ the Killer name" a spark will light, and the fuse will explode
 * 5) Be a bunch of hypocrites: "OH I DON'T LIKE THE RESTRICTIONS OF THE SEX TALK RULE. OMIT THAT. ZOMGZ TOO MANY PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT PENISES. U SHOULD STAHP!!!!!!!!1111111"
 * 6) "ZOMG. WAI WAZ MAH PASTUR BALEETED. IT WAS WAY MUCH BETTER THAN FUCKING NOBLOW HOUSE AND ANY EDGAR ALAN POE STORY ON DA SITE!!!!"

No one in the chat hardly edits. If, however, users were enticed with "modship" or "adminship", then people would probably give two shits as to why they may put a little oomf in their work habits. Callie did this in the temp shut-down thread. And I can see users working. Once after they get the right, they would stop giving two shits about the wiki.
