What. The. Heck. What are up with all of these bots? People are making them without asking and now we have like four chat bots. FOUR. Blossom and Rain originally decided a couple of months ago that I could make a chat bot, and now this?! Blossom made it without even asking the community let alone the other admins first! I know it's also an editing bot, and I'm fine with that, but making it a chat bot?! We have plenty of those already!!!

The chat bots are starting to get on my nerves and I'm pretty sure it's getting on everyone else's nerves too, so I think we should make a rule about making chat bots without asking the community/admins first. Admins who break this rule for the first time will get their rights taken away, and if they do it again they will be blocked, while non-righted users get blocked right away. How many days they will get blocked for will be decided here.

-(support)- If you support the new rule

-(neutral)- If you don't mind either way

-(oppose)- If you oppose the new rule

I seriously think we need a rule like this to prevent the creation of more chat bots.

Due to almost certain alt use on the Requests for User Rights, I've taken this into a support/oppose format.

Should PurplePuppyLove get Chat Mod rights?

-(support) or

-(oppose)

Should LeafyGreenShaymin get Rollback rights?

-

-(support) or

-(oppose) {{support}} to support, {{oppose}} to oppose.

A staggering problem I've noticed lately is that our rule system seems to be enforced quite seldom lately, most noticeably on the chat. Now, just a disclaimer: I would be lying if I said I follow all of these rules. Even administrators have problems like this sometimes, and I am definitely no exception.

First off, the yelling. I've noticed a lot of users (including myself) using caps more than we should. We must remember that using caps all the time is annoying and that this wiki is aimed at being nice to each other than yelling and arguing all the time when angry. Next time you guys should just keep the argument polite, thank you.

Then, the inappropriate topics. Just yesterday, I walked in chat and the main topic was a user(not telling who) talking about "hotties" and "chicks". If I remember correctly, that should be avoided as a subject of conversations, as, according to our chat rules, "Keep the chat appropriate: Deliberately avoid disturbing topics." Not much else there is to say about this rule.

Finally, bringing back the underedit chat rule. This is a rule that should be brought back, mainly because of the amount of trouble the chat has been receiving lately. Recently, underedit users either spam, cause mischief on chat, or torture chat mods and admins, whether it be annoying them or harassing them. Vandals have also been freely able to enter chat whenever they feel like it (must I bring this user and not to mention this?).

Like I said, I be lying if I said I follow the two rules above. But, honestly, the underedit chat rule has to return for the greater good. Any suggestions? Thoughts? Comments? Let me know what I missed.

I don't think we should have the 100 edits rule anymore. This is a small wiki, and it may be harder for users to get enough edits for chat then on other wikis. I was wondering if any of you guys have any thoughts on this? Thanks.
