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



Recently, some of the Administrators have been talking about possibly suspending the rule Requires a specific amount of Edits in Order to use Chat (100 Edits in general, 50 of which are main space), since it seems we are losing editors and are not in a position to be restricting chat right now.

Therefore we have concluded we should suspend it temporarily.

Temporary? What?

Yes it will be temporary. That means at one point, when we are much more active, we will have it again and that it is not a permanent change.

Let us bullet point why: 
 * More activity in the community.
 * Will allow newer users to acquaint themselves with the community further.
 * <span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-fareast-font-family:     "Times New Roman"">This suspension is temporary, it will eventually be re-enacted later on when it is needed again.

 * 4) <span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-fareast-font-family:     "Times New Roman"">Do not argue one's opinion on why they voted what they did.
 * 5) <span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";mso-fareast-font-family:     "Times New Roman"">And last, but not least, give a valid reason for your vote.
