User blog:~Mana~/New Chat Rule

Okay guys, this is serious. We all love the new Chat feature, right? Well, it's getting out of hand. Some people are just coming here to Chat, which isn't good, this IS a Wiki after all! So, Me and Ed thought something up which would make you EARN the right to chat.

Earn the right to chat?
That's right. We currently have to many people just joining for chat, most of which don't even have ONE edit! We need editors so here's what will happen:

Firstly, from now on, Non-admin users MUST earn FIVE MAINSPACE EDITS. There isn't an "if" or "but" about this. This is serious. Admins will have to earn TEN MAINSPACE EDITS for their right to chat as they should be putting in more of an effort than general users.

Vandalising a page then fixing it will NOT count. That's just lazyness and will get you into trouble. Trust me, I've already blocked someone for vandalising a page 500 times then fixing it just to earn badges. Now I mention it, don't even try Badge Boosting. That will get you banned for One year PLUS.

Questions and Answers
Q. What is the mainspace?

The Mainspace is an article page, NOT your Userpages. Templates are not Mainspace pages. Pictures are not mainspace pages. Forums are not Mainspace pages. An article IS!

Q. What if I can't make that number of edits?

I'm afraid that you won't be able to chat then. An admin might give you special permissions in some cases.

Q. Isn't this a bit over the top?

No. We need to make an effort and stop randomers from just talking.

Q. So what if I want to chat but don't want to edit?

Well, for one, that's slightly selfish and you will not be allowed in Chat. Your only alternative is the Forums, which are open to everyone no matter how many edits you make. They're there for a reason.

'''Q. So that's it? Five simple edits?'''

Yes, but remember, you CANNOT vandalise a page then fix it, that'll just get you into trouble. We have eyes from everywhere you know!

Q. Great, can I start now?'

Yes! Yes you may!

So...
