Also, we have noticed that in our wikia, due to the implementation of features seeming like social network biased. On the wikia I most edit, when there was the implementation of wikia chat, we got a huge number of spammers, and people creating random quotes to spam and vandalise wikia chat, and also people who came just to socialize with others. While socializing is a very important for wikias, the main objective of a wikia is to collect data, and to me, it seems now the objective may turn into socialize with others. I also see this as way to spam a talk page, with the other system it took longer to spam someone's talk page, which would make easy to block the vandal without having collateral damage, now, as this is blog themed, (which I personally hate and I don't see the point of important discussions on a wikia being treated like a blog), it will be easier to spam and vandalize. Also, the older messages being deleted automatically is not very wise, as we may need information from the past to know details about someone, something or a project, for example if we suspect someone of sockpuppeting, it's always easier to see their past behavior in talk pages and discussions and then know the IPs involved. I would like more improvement of wikia in this matter, or instead, allowing the editors to choose the system they want for their talk page. And that's all. Thank you.
