Nothing is wrong with the chat, it is more what is wrong with the staff. Chat was bad because the people who try to improve it are never on very long. It was something that could have been fixed by even simply talking to the people who are on for more hours daily then the rest. I, for example, was usually on chat for 14 hours a day. I could easily explain what was wrong with chat at specific times, as well as who in staff is bad because of that.

Take Wolfen for example, he shouldn't be in chat if he isn't going to be there because it makes other moderators think he is watching chat so they can leave chat under his non-existant supervision.

Most of the moderators are all around the same times, late night/early morning moderators quickly became extinct after my demotion and Willow/Weavers retirement.

Some moderators weren't to good at making decisions and being able to tell when something was drama filled and when things weren't. Hell, some of them flamebaited but didn't realize they were doing so because people were agreeing with them and the people that didn't were ocassionally kicked because they would start spamming caps in anger.
