You're basically just deciding to try to employ an exclusionary policy on a casual reader group (myself being in this group). Sure, we don't make many edits, I only have six or seven myself. This may not seem like much, but given that some of us come here to enjoy the community of people and get deeper involved within the social culture of the community, only making a few edits isn't bad. Consider that many of us come home from full days of work (myself usually having 10 hour work days), and we go to the chat to enjoy the community. Sure, we're not making edits, but we are not terrorizing the community and releasing stories and articles that seem to be the true source of your anger. Punishing those that have done no wrong is no different than being a tyrant. You can still enjoy the community through IRC Chat and the Forums. And no one's being punished, as far as I am concerned (I assume you mean punishing users by shutting down chat? Chat is going no where generally speaking and we don't need it). Also, I know you defended your lack of editing, but remember what the front page says, "we're a literature wikia." With that in mind, I think users are obliged to edit, etc. to some extent. This site is not solely for the community (talking with friends, etc.). Nobody uses the IRC chat anymore. Hell, was it even used atleast for once? It was created 3 days ago.

Odd, I thought it was created in 2012 or something.

I believe it'sthis?
