Forum:I Just Thought of a Problem We Might Have With the Chat

-- Yesterday, I looked at the users on the chat. When I checked their edit count... 0. Then I remembered, when the chat was first up, there were numerous people that had 0 edit counts. I was just wondering: What if people make and account and join the wiki JUST to go to the chat, and don't plan to contribute to ANYTHING to the wiki? What rules should we enforce, IF we decide to enforce any. I heard that, on the Pokemon wiki chat, there are rules to solve this problem. Should we enforce similar rules here? -- Lightning   the   Hedgehog   00:03, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I don't think that those people should be on chat unless they've had... let's say 20 edits. If they have under 20 edits, they should be kickbanned. --Rainbowroad6w, the researcher. ( Talk )( Recent finds and updates. ) 00:04, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

Perhaps we need a new policy that enforces a restriction to use the chat to anyone who has very low edits and only uses the chat feature. Now, I wouldn't kickban someone who has 0 edits right away. It's more civilized to make them aware of this policy, then ask them politely to leave. If they refuse to leave even after you inform them of the policy, then I would say a kickban is most certainly necessary.

I agree. It's a good idea. What DF said. I couldn't agree more. --'Wkmeads1  GET OVER HERE!''' 00:11, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. --Rainbowroad6w, the researcher. ( Talk )( Recent finds and updates. ) 00:12, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

Then someone should keep a record of kickbanned people. Or we just check the list of kickbanned users. --Rainbowroad6w, the researcher. ( Talk )( Recent finds and updates. ) 00:17, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

Anybody noticing a glitch with the chat. ms15 00:20, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I am. That's happened many times before. I think we should go to Wikia about that. I just gave my feedback and reported the problem. But going back to the subject... --Rainbowroad6w, the researcher. ( Talk )( Recent finds and updates. ) 00:28, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I agree with a lot of you guys. I think there should be a rule about this, but we should also warn them first, instead of automatically kickbanning them. -- Lightning   the   Hedgehog   00:56, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure I heard somewhere there's a way to stop people acessing chat if they don't have a certain number of edits.  Myself  123  00:58, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

Are you sure? Because that might be a solution to this problem. -- Lightning   the   Hedgehog   00:59, October 18, 2011 (UTC)
