 * General users are not qualified to make this judgement.

He refered to the community as a whole, admins and all, and this is the same system that comes into play when Wikipedia gets a new admin or bureaucrat. I really don't understand how you can say that you're qualified to say that general users aren't qualified when it's those same general users that make the wiki, not just the admins.


 * Users are not meant to change their interface.

Help:System messages. That literally says that wikis may NEED to change them - the only reason they can't right now is because of the security issues.


 * ...the chat functionality is meant to improve collaboration and wiki building, not simply to play around with emoticons.

Dessamator, you've seem to have missed what the point of Wikia is. If that's the case then I'm certainly wondering why Community Central's chat is almost never talking about community central. Same with Lego Message Boards Wiki, Le Miiverse Resource, and Scarf Heroes Wiki - they're all big chats and all big communities and wikis, but yet their chat is off talking about memes or jokes instead of the wiki half the time.
