Bringing the underedit rule back would be a horrible decision. The reason for bringing it back is to keep spammers and trolls away from the chat, but those people are easily dealt with. The reasons for bringing this rule back really because older users tend to view newer users as "jerks," "nuisances," and cause a lot of unneeded trouble. This may be true in some instances, but they don't deserve it. Almost nothing they do is against the rules. And when we do have the occasional rule-breaker, there's usually 3-7 mods/admins on that can handle the situation. If we bring the edit rule back, we'd be kicking out several, several users who have done nothing wrong, and people who have done wrong are easily dealt with.

As for the rest of the forum, I wholey agree.

We've had several debates regarding what counts as mild profanity on the wiki ever since the original forum was closed, namely with words such as "goddamn" and "ass." If we would to ever discuss this matter again, I think it would be excellent, since the last one was done poorly, confusingly, with little active user particpation. A new discussion would allow more user participation and set a wider accepted rule.

For controversial topics such as politics, religion, and sex, During my time on the chat, I can't recall a single person being offended when any form of religion was mentioned. Politics is the same thing when being discussed on the chat, where I have never seen a real problem when it was ever discussed on the chat. I sort of agree with Glitch as how it can be talked about as long as it doesn't pose a problem, but since I do realize that the chat is a social enviroment with people coming from any political party or religion, we should be on the safe side and avoid it as much as possible. Sexual related topics should be avoided at all costs. The chat, and the wiki as a whole, is supposed to be a family-friendly wiki, so topics such as sex should be avoided as well.
