User blog comment:First $ea Lord Sven Daggerteel/Thinking about the chat rule (You must have 100 edits to join chat)/@comment-4264921-20120615203623

I think there should still be some requirements to enter chat, but I opposed the rule when it first came out, mainly for the reasons above. I know my edit count is low compared to most users that have been around as long as me (about a year on this wiki, I think), but I just don't find interest in creating things like a story about some adventure, or the "life" of my ship. I do enjoy writing stories, sure, but maybe not in a way that relates to the wiki or POTCO, and I don't want to display it for everyone to see. It seems to me that it would be better to have a lower edit requirement-say 30? In addition to that, they could have a short waiting date, starting from the time of their first edit. That way they can still fit more edits in, but it isn't as difficult for some people. The rule does serve a good purpose, but I think it should be altered.
