Board Thread:Consensus Track/@comment-25075055-20140222224832

So lately, there has been concern about certain users within the chat who are simply idling permanently. These users just sit there within the chat, don't talk to anyone, don't respond to PM's and are almost always "Away". Of course, there are some exceptions to that, but there are some people who just don't say a thing.

I have no issues with people idling in the chat for a couple of days, as that can be normal. However, I do have issues when those same users do this for weeks on end and show no signs of contributing. The whole point of the chat is to converse with users: if you don't plan on conversing with someone, why bother going into the chat ?

Please feel free to discuss. There is no requirement to vote in this thread, as this is mainly for discussion, but if you wish to vote, you are free to do so.

Many thanks :)
