We made this rule because there were most likely going to be users who will join the wiki just to chat with others. We thought that if people didn't edit here, they didn't deserve to be on the chat. We made the rule so that people who made many good and constructive edits on here will be rewarded with being able to chat. Plus, since everyone here is a member of the wiki, they're supposed to edit here. If we didn't have this rule, everyone would join to chat, which people were doing. If you can't edit here, then you shouldn't be able to chat. Sorry if you feel this way about the rule, but it's a rule you got to follow.
