This was long overdue. The main reasons for the rewriting of the chat policy are for consistency throughout the moderation by admins and moderators and to solve common issues in the chatroom.
The new revisions is now expanded and elaborates on existing rules, such as the spamming and swearing rules.
The new policy adds on new rules currently used by other wikis, such as...
- "If an admin or moderator tells you to stop doing something, stop doing it" from the Gravity Falls Wiki
- "The chatroom is not an emotional dumping ground" from the Kirby Wiki
- and "Do not post ASCII artwork" from the Adventure Time Wiki.
Rules like "Please Speak In English" that was previously known as an unwritten rule is now official.
I've got in contact with User:Bullet Francisco that he'll reword portions of the chat policy so stand-by because we might see some slight changes.
EDIT: Bullet Francisco updated portions of the chat policy to look more professional.
