Since the drama has reached other parts of the sites, shutting down to chat will lead to more drama outside of the chat. Not only that, but as soon as the chat is back, the drama will continue. Not only that, but this consensus will not be one sided at all. I guarantee it, and no matter how it plays out, whether the consensus passes or not, there will be even more drama by people bickering about this consensus. The answer to the problem is to actually enforce the rules of the chat, not to shut down the chat. We tried that LTT, but these issues involve Moderators too who are biased for their side of things. Drama could come up, but if that was the case it could rooted out much quicker, as on Wikis everything is written down and in the open, while in the chat people musrt rely on gossip and rumours. My point is, drama outside the chat is much easier to deal with.
