I don't really think that the chat rules should be changed at all, really (other than an add-on that if any chat drama that is leaked onto the main site gets a two hour block from editing and that any usage of slurs gets a kick, and not an instant ban).

Relating to major rules in the chat that should be changed are the moderator guidelines. It should be changed, flat out, that a moderator should not be afraid to do their job when needed to. It should also include that, what happened today, that moderators have lives. They can have the chat tab open, but they could not be in the chat. Granted, they can always leave (since the chat is a section of a wiki that you cannot save something on). But if it was me, like what happened today while I was cleaning up Spinpasta, I left the chat tab opened, while I was doing work for there.

I also think that moderators shouldn't really decide whether or whether not something is a slur or not. If I said, and sorry for language, "I'm going to go smoke a fag.", it shows that I am going outside for a cigarette. But if I said "lol, you fag." I should get a kick (or one day ban, if this rule doesn't change), because I called someone the derogative meaning of a homosexual. It depends on the context of the word, really. Although the N word and any racial discrimination words should be banned because, no matter what context you put them in, it seems racist. I don't know what race you are, so it'll be derogatory to me.
