> I've… never used chat on any wiki, so I don't exactly understand what kind of harm it'll bring.

I meant I don't want all the TG discussions to move into the chat. Chat messages are volatile; only people who were in chat at that time get to see it. There exists no history of chat messages. So whatever was discussed in chat is basically lost to anyone who wasn't there. And one day I had the problem that the chat crashed a few times and obviously after reloading all the messages are gone.

> I imagine being a Chat Moderator means having to delete a lot of messages, as well as cooling down any heated conversations.

Messages cannot be deleted because the messages are volatile.

Chat mods have the right to kick/ban people from chat. (Not to be confused with a block on the wiki itself; they are unrelated, people can be banned from chat but at the same time are not blocked on the wiki. I'm honestly not sure if someone blocked on the wiki can still participate in chat.)

And obviously, cooling down heated conversations is part of the job.

I think we should just follow Narutopedia's chat policy for now (obviously, all references to Naruto replaced by Tokyo Ghoul). What do others think?

I'll turn on the chat in a few hours.
