User blog comment:Reyes De Luz (Albert Spark)/Community Vote: Temporary Suspension of Edit Requirement for Chat/@comment-3112181-20130808213602

Initially, I liked the sounds of it. However, Dent brings up a good solution in just lowering it. Heck, even make it 10. You figure, the whole reason we installed this rule was to keep socks and vandals out of chat, but even if a mere 10 edits are required, that isn't a problem. I'm also skeptical as to whether getting rid of this rule will really increase activity. When new users first come to our wiki, they don't do so because of chat; they come because they obviously have a keen interest in the game and are looking to broaden their creative horizon. Heck, when I first came here, I didn't come on chat for the first time for at least four months (I didn't know about chat, I was a noob, but still not the point). Essentially, this really seems like a solution without a problem, except hardly being a solution at all. I'll have to think on this some more. We could give it a test run, but I doubt this will raise activity in the slightest; it just doesn't make sense.
