Personally, I have found chat as a more pleasurable and actually productive way of communicating to other people about the site, and/or questions about stories.

It seems that most of you people only focus on the negative aspects of chat. You rule out any possible possitve outcomes of chat and only focus on the bad. Most of the drama caused by chat comes from the main site itself not the other way around.

Tell me, would you rather have an issue resolved in about ten minutes because someone's story got deleted or, have to explain on multiple spam blogs about it? I believe chat can be used correctly. All the "drama" is just very stupid in general and I can admit that however, most of the users will ignore it. Why take a privilege away from others when three or four others are the problem? Punish the individual users, not the other people. They have done nothing to deserve that punishment only the small amount of users that start/cause the drama. I do agree with it being a way of an easier way to get to a community discussion, like different types of topics and such; a fun way to talk about your needs. But... look shortly after this statement. And you'll see as to why I opposed.

Fatal Disease: Ban the individuals involved. Don't punish the whole for the actions of a few. Well. That wouldn't really be much of the situation now, shall we? The reason that it would be inevitable to ban those who are involved, is because the vast majority of those who may think that the rule is "bullshit" or retorts to the user bitching would be in trouble/banned. Sure, there have been such arguments as it may involve two users going into the chat. Why. There have been arguments such as "Chat vs. user(s)". Or that there have been "I disagree with this rule vs. I agree with this rule". Or a topic may be "I disagree with this rule, let's bitch about it".

Going far away from arguments, there has at least one user talk about sex. There has been one user that has started a revolution - and I'll put a star next to the ones that actions have been taken upon those (the A revolution, the chat shut down in August*, and the lol revolution, Disney wiki revolution*, and there's many more). You're putting this into a statement that those who are involved, and not the one that caused the chain of reaction, if that's what you mean. If you're putting that into a full effect, then that would mean there would be a lot of bans to those who partaken in such events.

The thing is, mostly everyone is involved of such things. Whether it can be something little as saying "Is it noob hour?" to "I'm gonna go and start a revolution, and people will follow me!" *and a lot of people follows*.

TL;DR: Drama man. Drama is a cause of this.
