Forum:Can I make it so chats can't exist without approved users monitoring them?

Can I set it so only approved people can start a chat? I don't want any spammers or vandals causing problems. I want it so at least one appointed trusted user, not just the one that started it either, has to be in the chatroom for it to remain open. When it is open, a link should appear somewhere everyone on the wikia can see.  D r e a m Focus  05:49, October 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * There is no way to set up chat so that it can only be accessed when an approved user (I assume you mean a chat moderator) is available. To use chat, contributors need to make an account. That's about as secure as it gets. You can set up chat rules, such as a minimum edit requirement to try and weed out potential problems though, and if you have chat mods, they can kick/ban any users who misbehave in chat.
