The Chatty Cathys already have a place to talk without getting in the way of Wiki work (It's called the Chatroom, or could also be identified as "some other personal message system that isn't the wiki). Warriors Wiki has actually, in the past, been forced to ban users for not complying with this (This involved frequent warnings, explanations that at least a 1:1 ration of contribution to chatter was expected, and the like). Hiding the problem by excluding the place where most personal attacks occur seems less wiki-oriented than anything else.

And I would say leave them the right to respond to message posts to them, and maybe even add in the ability to post any staff member's page (Admin, Rollback, Chatmod) so that if they need help, they have options.

Warriors Wiki isn't a social network. The only place we permit any random social chatter is our Chatroom. The message wall opens up the idea that users who are abusing the social aspect could be limited to contributing until they stop sucking and creating clutter no one else should be forced to look at, or forced to screen out of the recent activity. Wikis are supposed to be wikis. Not social environments for chatting.
