Here, I'll link you to her blog:

http://potcoplayers.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog%3AEmilyDarkvane%2FI_Am_Going_To_Need_All_The_Help_I_Can_Get There's a video of her there.

Okay, let me point something out. What I find interesting is that the majority of opposers never even ho on chat whatsoever, so they really wouldn't know. People are saying it "makes the wiki more popular."

Well, let's take a look here.

Imagine this: someone who just randomly came here started chatting. Then they come chat here every day. They make no productive edits. They never taje part in community votes. They troll users and say over-the-top, ridiculous things like, "JACK SPARROW IS MY DAD, ARR," and, other than that, only talk abou off-topic things, mainly Harry Potter for which there already is a wiki where it wouldn't be a nuisance like it is here. I mean, honestly, do you want to come imto chat after a long day and see:

EmilyDarkvane: ABRAKADABRA AngelDarkvane: ALACAZAM! Raven Potter: [Insert some other Harry Potter crap here] EmilyDarkvane: Move 2 was sad because Dad died Me: "Dad?" . . . EmilyDarkvane: Jack Sparrow is my dad. All of ours.

I mean, come on, really?

@Skull: As Jack said, this isn't Facebook, this is the POTCO Players Wiki. If they played PotCO, I think it's ''pretty likely" that they'd have some pages to make and edit, maybe a "Hello!" blog, etc. it doesn't make the wiki more popular, it is an opportunity for trolls/seedlings to come and harass us, which there is a clear way to combat. Without chat, they'd simply vandalize pages/troll, which could be fended off in minutes.

The point isn't that they shouldn't be able to chat. The point is they do nothing but. They never make any productive edits whatsoever, Emily, I know for a fact, is underaged, Raven Potter is her sockpuppet most likely, and AngelDarkvane is likely either her or a family member, friend, etc. who is likely underaged as well.

@Slappy: If all they do is chat, and nothing else, imagine yourself in our shoes. All she ever does is talk about Harry Potter. They don't even stay in the topic of the wiki. They make no productive edits. They do not take part in community discussions. They do not edit any pages whatsoever. Take a look at this: Special:Editcount/Raven Potter Special:Editcount/EmilyDarkvane Special:Editcount/AngelDarkvane And please don't bring the Constitution into this. . . It is completely irrelevent. Sure, they can chat whenever they want. But about whatever they want? Hmm, no. The "Jack Sparrow" thing was just showing that they take stuff too far. Yeah, I could say I'm the Ruler of the Netherlands, because, in role-play, I am. But saying you're the child of Jack Sparrow. . . That's honestly just ridiculous.

@Robert: Chat shall be a reward, of sorts, to those who acquire enough edits to use it. Did you even read the whole blog? . ..

The whole point of chat is to talk to other users, not randomly drop in, make it awkward, and only talk about off-topic things.

It should be a reward in the way that users who have been here for, like, a day do not deserve it.
