You know. For a resolution of this problem, why not just do what I did to Skelly's rough draft of the chat rules? Make the first part all wordy, explaining what is, and what is not allowed, and then add a TL;DR section in it. That's what I did on the chat rules on Spinpasta. As of now, other than yesterday, there's no drama over there. I think that it can work. It won't prevent any drama, though, like what Wave has said. There will always be drama wherever you go. Can we prevent it? No, but I think that we can prevent the hardcore drama that cannot be controlled by a moderator alone. Will it prevent sex talk? Only the medium - hardcore stuff. It's not bad to throw a couple of jokes, but I agree with Guy that it does get annoying that most of the conversations in the chat just consists of these jokes about jacking off on the internet, how big their private size is, ect.

I have no clue if it'll work, though. You guys can try with strict rules, and I'll be the one monitoring most of the action in there once that time period comes strolling by. But it's up to the bureaucrat's discretion on it, since I know that the administration wants the chat to die off and be forgotten. Some users, like myself, don't care what happens to the chat -- they are either new users that never been on the chat, or that they are old users that think that the TPWC and the SPWC provide a lot of the contact through other users. Other users, like some of the users on this thread and some of the moderation team, wants the chat to come back on August 30th, because the chat provides a fun and easy way to discuss topics, despite the fact of the current infamy that the chat brings to the site. Those users can be labeled as me when I had gotten modship, and see that the chat has some hope left.
