User blog comment:Reyes De Luz (Albert Spark)/Community Vote: Temporary Suspension of Edit Requirement for Chat/@comment-3443450-20130809174329

It's just a bad idea. It was put into place for a reason. If they're too lazy to get the edits for the requirement, why should we let them onto chat for free? I mean it's just common sense people. Yes, we might be able to get new users onto chat, and yes, there probably will be hackers and such coming on, and maybe our administrative team may be enough. But this all comes back around to where we were. With it just being temporary, maybe it will push the new users to get the edits so they can stay. But more than likely, they will just be lazy, and use "free chat" up as much as they can to talk to their friends, before they are gotten rid of once more. No matter how long you make it, how fun you make it, or how many new users show up, the end profit will still not be as good as hoped. And here's another point for you, you'd be making the administrative team do more work than needed with this. Do you know how many people are banned from chat because of not having enough edits? That would take a day maybe to clear up so that everyone could use chat freely. And then when it's up they'll probably be banned again because they won't make the edits anyway. So before any more of you vote, or re-vote here's a list for the lazy readers out there of the Pros and Cons

Pros

 * Wiki may gain a small amount of users who work for the edits afterwards
 * Chat will probably be full

Cons

 * Chat will probably be full of trolls and hackers
 * Will probably lose some of the old users again who were banned from chat over not having enough edits
 * Will make more work for the administrative team than necessary

That probably isn't all the pros and cons, but they're the ones I brought up. So I ask all the users to consider or reconsider your vote if you read this. You're vote is the one that matters here, and every vote counts towards something bigger than yourself. Thank you for your time
