My Response to Skul's Proporsal.

Editing - I'm betting if we took away took away the badges, at least a thind to a half of the editors would simply give up on editing. The reason for half of the editors is because they want the editing points, and with editings comes popularity. Therefore the more edits a person have, the more popularity they recieve. Now lets talk about the other half, or the lower half. The lower half are dedicated users who actually go to the boards, and grasp any info on the user to apply. Those people don't fix punctuation and then say its good, they are the editors who actually fix punctuation and add anything new to it and even fix some more errors in that one page. This is what a few  consider editing as.

CM  - The truth is both sides are being treated with disrespect. Users are being attacked by CMs who clearly have no idea how chat is from a different respective. The newest group of chat moderaters to me, should be able to apply the rules and enforce them at a right authority and force but, since a wide majority of the chat moderaters, refuse or negate all their thinking to reading the rules, it's simply their own fault and downfall to them being a chat moderator.

Now to being on chat moderator being a rank. First and formost, chat moderater is not a rank but a responsibility. Furthermore the majority of users who are chat moderaters, used to think that chat moderaters had fun all the time. Well I'm sorry that BCG made it look so fun to you all but no. The only time and reason the chat moderaters were having fun were when people followed rules. And yes, the current rules are outdated as Administrator Riolu777 have said, but a few of the initiated rules such as 1.3 - Asterisks, 1.4 no giving out personal info, 1.6 Youtube videos, 1.7 Religous, political or suggestive discussions, 1.8 Spamming, 1.9 No disrespect to chat moderaters, and 1.10 chat log restrictions were all based on current and past events in chat. The only reason they were initiated were because users couldn't control themselves with such lenient rules, that they broke them like crazy. Leading to where we are today.

Going back to chat moderater responsibilities, chat moderaters and users should both treat each other with respect. Who cares if your the president or Ghandi or even the untouchables, you treat them with respect and they treat you with respect back. If respect isn't that simple to do here, people should question themselves if they respect their parents. Now, kick/ban/warn are tools to help keep chat joyful for everyone, not to use to your own judgement. Even though there are misconceptions on how Warning/kick/ban works, users who are teens shouldn't need to have warnings kicks or even bans should they? Or are they that childish to need that many? Now, bans should be rarely seen, but why oh why, are they given out in the first 3 seconds a user does something bad? You tell me.

1. How many teens here use common sense wisely? You guys tell me.

1.1 It's better to prevent it now then later. We still have underaged users here who have parents who watch over everything they do to keep them safe. Now what if someone parent came on on chat and saw bull, and jerk? What would be the parents veiw of this site their kid is on now?

1.2 Depends on what you call bullying Skul. There's your PM bullying, There those jokes that aren't two way jokes, there's backstabbing also when the user beign talked about isn't here, and even a touch of LMBW debates mixed with religion, politics and suggestive topic which you kids, oops I mean teens shouldn't even talk about in front of others.

1.3 I had fun with this one is all I have to say.

1.4 This rule is too messed up.

1.5 I fully agree with this. But if they keep sharing it with people it'll eventually sprea dout to the rest of the wiki and what people call their private info is now Public!

1.7 Why would you talk about politics on a site for kids...?

1.9 You met the wrong CM at the time.
