I agree with both Apple and Guac.

Though, with the cussing issue, Guac has a point. We should allow others' opinions on such a topic within reason, such as allowing such phrases. But I'm not for allowing blatant swears.

We need to seriously consider splitting from allowing the MB rules to dictate chat's function. We can borrow some of their guidelines, but it's about time that a community that mostly is not avidly active on the MBs to begin to conceive their own rules that aren't crafted for a community of prepubescents. As Guac stated earlier.

I hate the rule limiting political, religous or other such discussions, and I wish we could minimize it. Aside from a few users acting immaturely when such discussions come up, I really do like to have civil, open debates about such topics. The problem isn't the topic of debate, it's the people in the debate. Limiting them makes the wiki look like a sensitively sheltered and closed-minded community, which the majority of us aren't such.

I would love for people here to respect other people here and stop doing something that annoys them without even a CM telling them to do so. Until we get to that level, I want all mods and admins to be able to stomp out such kerfuffles without backlash from half the chat.

With Guac saying that respect should not be aimed toward trolls...rather than saying that we should disrespect trolls, we need to mandate a clause stating, "Trolls should be handled by the whole community by completely ignoring them and their antics. Trolls do what they do for reactions, and no one on this wiki will gives the trolls what they want."

Best way to squeeze them out, I would say.
