I think the measure of closing chat is a very dramatic way to deal with this. It seemed that even though there was much talk about it, a solution was never even considered. Maybe there shouldn't be mods! Lots of them don't seem to do their jobs. And no, this does not mean having no means of being able to moderate chat.

I feel not enough was done to find a suitable solution and that it simply needs to be tried again. If we do this, then I feel we can still have the chat, and be productive at the same time or even simultaneously. Get better rules, open chat for only a few hours a day perhaps. But shutting it down doesn't seem like a solution that can be made to suit everyone's needs and wants, even though it suits some.
