It helps people sometimes get their pastas around and even creates an easier way for people to communicate and get info on various things that the rules/various blogs on making pastas DON'T say. Plus, I agree with Fatal. Ban the people involved, but don't punish the whole community. I doubt this will be a thing, Maria. It's just too widely used and popular. It isn't "widely used" nor "popular". Compared to how many people edits the site vs. how many people visit chat that statement is false. Hell, the shut down of chat has actually benefited Community Central because now we don't have users joining the chat all the time and talking about how abusive the mods and users are here.
