User blog comment:First $ea Lord Sven Daggerteel/Thinking about the chat rule (You must have 100 edits to join chat)/@comment-3119454-20120615205129/@comment-4264921-20120615212407

The wiki shouldn't be just for socializing, but when someone reaches the amount of edits they need to join the chat (if they came to the wiki only with intentions of socializing), they won't want to edit at all afterwards. The rule really isn't too effective on what goes on on the wiki. It does help with "sockpuppets" and "trolls", but it still can if it's altered. (My idea is below) Besides, if someone does anything worth a strike or ban on chat, they get that, so the rule doesn't follow through the whole way.
