Trust was broken on not only the team, but on the chat community itself, and the result was the shutdown. This very same trust breach is what has caused it to stay closed.

I personally would be willing to give a second and last chance. But a very narrow one last chance. At the first sign of problems, I'd immediately advocate for a serious reconsideration of its reopening.

Trust is very hard to rebuild. It's possible, though. However I can't say the decision of reopening chat is lying only on me. After all, it's something the whole Administrator and Bureucrat team would have to decide and coordinate, and it wouldn't be something to be done in a few hours, too.

Frankly, allow me to give a statement: it's alright to have hopes, but be careful to have some room for the negative scenario that could arise. Because there's a chance chat stays closed, no matter what's done.

Past mistakes are forever, even if they were forgiven. You guys weren't the only ones who's trust was broken. Think about it, we voted on chat being gone for a little bit. What happened? it was pushed for longer, we were fine with that, the community was okay with that. What happened next? It was DICTATED to us without OUR vote on it that chat was gone for good. We could not make a thread to try and bring it back.

Our trust was broken.
