On the original point, yes, chat is unfriendly to almost all users (Not just newbies), a few users have left the chat because of the blatant racism, sexism, and arguing. A VSTF member was told to fuck off after they came to warn about invading other chats, a few chat mods kick simply because they want, and there have been extremely severe drama issues which I would rather not describe in a public domain. A fix? I'll talk about that in a bit.

The TESWiki chat is one of the most active on the entire of Wikia, with MLPWiki being the only one which I know of which is more active. I don't think shutting down the chat is what we should do, as I've said, all chats do this and once they settled they were fine. Though, I've apologised to plenty of people for the actions of the TESWiki community, across Wikia.

On the other hand, at other times, with users such as ScholarOfTheScrolls and AngryEnclaveSoldier, etc online. The chat is on-topic, friendly, and fantastic to new users. Showing that the community is capable of more than just rolling around on the floor yelling gibberish and insulting slurs with their own shoes in their mouths.

Anyway, for what we should do/need:

- An active admin in chat.

- Chat mods need to know how to use their rules properly, perhaps a re-evalutation is in order, as I have seen chat mods who I now see as unsuitable for the position altogether.

- A bot which can save logs, that's being done, as far as I'm aware.

- Jumbled with the active admin requirement, chat mod nominations should be done by an admin, though that warrants further discussion.

- Age should not be taken in to account, age means absolutely nothing on the internet.

This should, in theory, make the chat more suitable for newbies.
