Forum:Chat

I personally think chat should be disabled for a few days. If not, forever. I mean, the amount of arguments that happen there when no mod is on is astounding. And even where there is one there, they continue when they're told to stop. Having users come on chat with no edits isn't exactly a problem. However, some people need to understand that this place is an encyclopaedia - not a chatting site. There's other sites for them to chat on, so surely there would be much better. I'm not saying that chatting is a bad thing. It's not. Not everyone comes here to edit articles, and we need to respect that. But, something does need to be done about the amount of arguments we have here.

I remember just under a year ago this wiki was peaceful, like any other wiki. There were almost no arguments. This was when chat wasn't enabled. We're a wiki. The admins shouldn't have to worry about users falling out with each other. Sure, every wiki has it's arguments, but not every day. I'm not saying chat is what caused it, but if it's disabled for as little as a week, a lot of those arguments would cool off and cease. That is not a right, it's a privilege. A privilege shouldn't be misused the way it is. I'm sure half of the things said on chat would not be things they'd say on the wiki.

If you think I'm absolutely mad in saying this, then you should visit chat. There isn't always arguments and some times it's rather peaceful, but even one mention of The Hunger Games (which is what this wiki is about) can cause a huge argument. Isn't that a bit silly? People are getting criticized for their opinions on characters, which is absolutely silly. I don't even think people bother to read our policies. 21:48, April 20, 2012 (UTC)
