Everyone who was on the chat, myself included, have tried to explain to you why we have this rule and what you could do to fufill the requirements it presents so you can access the chat. In fact, while we're on the topic of the edit rule, I'd advise taking a look at this. This is a site discussion forum from a while back the Wiki had when we first implimented the chat filter in question. It should help clarify things a bit more, I imagine.
