I think that a time of 2 weeks would be enough to help the site, but if not go up to a month. Chat is good for people who actually talk, not for people who inecssently harrass people and need constant babysitting. Yes, but when we successfully weed out who's who, What's that going to solve? What's that going to do for the wiki?

If we're talking about weeding out who's who so we can take *action* against those people, then you're talking about being exclusionistic, not to mention unorthodox and, ultimately, unjust. I'm not being unjust. I think that more new users would stay if there wasn't stalker behavior and constant users needing to be babysat on a regular basis because they are too immature to get off chat on their own. I also think that temporarily making chat unavailable would be good for the edits and such on the site, but only temporarily. If it's gona for good, we won't have any more new users, and quite a bit of older users would leave too. I know that quite a few users onl come for chat.
