Okay this is something I'd like to clean up so that we are a more inviting community.

As you know there are people out there that don't know how to use a MediaWiki site (shocker right?). So naturally they go off to ask someone how to submit something. What is the best way to get answers quickly from people? A chat of course!

Here is where we have issues. The user goes onto chat and asks a simple question and isn't difficult to answer and users go off on them not only making the new user feel really stupid but also building up the communities bad reputation. This is NOT OKAY in any way shape or form and it is going to change.

The new addition to the chat guidelines is to make it clear that we do not tolerate this type of behaviour towards anyone let alone new users seeking help. This is already against the rules but as far as I have seen it is never enforced and I have even seen chat moderators join in on the bashing and that is going to end.
