Fan26, thanks for your support. If you would go to chat and start helping me prod the users in the proper direction, I would appreciate it.

M67PattonZippo, that's just it, in the approximate month I've been using chat, I seem to be one of about three people I've seen in chat actually looking for real help. When someone comes in using a non-English language, they usually are doing it to be annoying. At least that's what I've gathered from other people's comments. When I pointed out that a foreign language version of CC exists, I'm the one they call mean.

Noreplyz, I have yet to see a chat moderator tell people to take their off-topic conversations elsewhere and make it stick. I could sit in there and type up a question and hit enter, then twiddle my thumbs waiting for what I have come to know will never come, a reply to my question. It is ignored by the chat moderators and all other users in chat. In my original post I said it was okay to be off-topic to the point when someone comes in with a question, but I hardly ever see others pause their off-topic conversation to lend me their support.

And you know what is the worst about it, nearly 90% of people in chat have never edited an article! How can they be there to get help if they have no intention of ever editing? How are they there to help others if they don't know the first thing about editing?! I've asked some about their editing, and from their responses, I can tell they have no intention of ever editing.

Conversations about a game or a show are off-topic as far as I can tell from rule 2 about being a place to find wiki help and support, and to talk about FANDOM.

Taking away toys is one way to make the users grow up a little, I see some sit in chat just waiting to use that annoying waving hand emoticon. That one emoticon drives me up a wall and makes me want to scream bloody murder. Get rid of both of those waving hand emoticons and see how many people stop coming to chat. Instead of making an emoticon appear, the users would actually have to type "Hello " or "Hi" and "Good bye" or "Bye". That is not to hard to do in my opinion. I got tired of emoticons about 15 years ago and stopped using them. I may use "8)" every once in a while, but that shows up as is and is not distracting by moving around, catching a person's eye, and distracting from real questions being asked.

Also, when you say Discord, I am thinking you're talking about the #wikia channel? If you are, that place is fairly dead.

I could go on and on and on about this but will stop for now, that is how annoying CC Chat is to me. Lady Aleena (talk) 17:00, October 13, 2017 (UTC)
