Much of the non-essential communication in the chatroom does nothing but stir up copious amounts of trouble as users tend to fight over some of the most ridiculous things. It is also a very unfriendly and unwelcoming place for new users as the moderators are extremely biased towards a small group of their friends. This then prompts other users to seek help from administrators on the site which causes the issues to spill out. If chat was limited to essential communication only things like this wouldn't happen and productivity on the site will increase due to the community having a place to discuss issues in real time. If chat was such an unwelcoming and unfriendly place, why would a moderator (myself in this case), who is apparently extremely biased according to you, write a guide not only to chat but to the wiki itself? One of the most common questions in chat is why was a user's story deleted, I wrote a guide which not only tells them how they can find out why their story was deleted, but the steps they can take to get their story back on site. If I am on and people are complaining about their stories being deleted, I will often send them the link to the guide and tell them to read the Deletion Appeal. Case and point being, you paint moderators and chat to be bad yet we have and can do good. Anyone can do good, most of the time you just don't. Maybe you don't Maria, but I and a lot of other users do at least try and be nice to new users.
