This vote has ended, and the side of oppose has won.

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.
This suspension is temporary, it will eventually be re-enacted later on when it is needed again.

As always, please do not forget that:

This is a Major Request and shall last between 3-5 Days
Should 20 Votes come first prior to this, it must be a 2/3 Majority
Only Users with 50 Main Space edits may vote.
Do not argue one's opinion on why they voted what they did.
And last, but not least, give a valid reason for your vote.
