User blog comment:Cato rocks!/We want chat back!/@comment-3287055-20120505064803

I didn't want to get involved, but it seems like I may have to. I want all of you to stop arguing for a minute, and think. Chat was disabled because of the endless fights and arguments on it. Perhaps we did have too little mods, but that can be solved when/if we get chat back (and if we do, like I've said before, it won't be for a month). But do you all really think these arguments and numerous blog posts will get chat back? Because they won't. It will only delay it more. Never have I ever seen such immaturity on any wiki. Everyone needs to calm down, and think. We did not deprive you of anything, in fact you're lucky we set up an IRC channel for you. We put a lot of work into it, and you're all being ungrateful. Sure, you may not like it. But it's there. There for you to use so you're not completely deprived?

But isn't that just the same as chat?

It's not. IRC is a lot easier to keep under control, and for a wiki like ours, it's something we need. We're not a chatting site. Chat is a privilege and it's been misused. If you've been on other wikis, you'd know how mature some people are. Right now, you're disappointing me. How do you think users will react when they visit wiki activity and find endless comments and arguments on blog posts? That's a major turn-off.

And then there's this whole Veteran argument. I have no idea where it came from, but it's ridiculous. Seriously, is this the kind of behaviour you show at school? Because if I were your teacher I'd be disgusted.

Think.

The more you argue and fight, the longer chat will be gone.
