This was not the purpose of the experiment - we just wanted to see what sort of interactions we would see in chat during Office Hours, and what sort of impact it would have on the wiki itself. And I think this experiment showed us that there was a substantial impact to the quality of chat. My mistake then. There were a lot of people who were saying that the moderator criticism thread was directly responsible for the closure of chat on the initial chat closure announcement thread. I would have thought that the CC administration would have denied that if they saw it so it doesn't look like Staff are just silencing concerns.
