User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/New Community Central Chat Guidelines Announced/@comment-31162206-20170505070900/@comment-24055022-20170505114805

^Exactly. This chat is not meant for "fun" and it never was. This is a help wiki and both it and the chat need to be just that. If finally enforcing this is going to make it that way and ever deteriorate the activity in chat, that is a-ok with me. Now it'll be for something that actually matters and there will be users wanting to join the chat and be on stand by whenever someone joins asking for help.
