User blog comment:Dopp/Communicate Easily with Message Wall/@comment-3148529-20110927174634

I am going to attempt a simple and sensible outline of why this proposed message wall cannot work on a wiki.


 * It's clear from the previous comments that 99.99% of Wikia users do not like this feature. I can also see that these users will not use the message wall when it is implemented.


 * Therefore, when the wall is implemented, these users will refuse to have anything to do with it. This means nothing will be posted on the wall.


 * When nothing is posted on the wall, communication between Wikia users halts. It ceases to be. There is no way people can contact each other. Sensible talk pages are gone.


 * With no way that people want to communicate, everything becomes disorganized. Nothing gets done in a timely fashion. People are not notified of serious wiki issues. The proper style of the wiki could fall apart.


 * This is called chaos.

So what Staff thinks will increase communication might actually destroy it.
