Why not just to make a conversation thread with more strict rules and something like (NO SPAMMING!) in title? Moderators may mod it. I mean, they actually won`t need to check all the messages, because users can report posts, and therefore the quality of the thread will depend on members of this site.
Maybe it will be hard to mod it anyway. But I think we can give it a try. Threads can be deleted anyway, so it will do no harm, I suppose. If there is a way to make a mod for one thread, I can help by deleting spam-filled messages. (But IDK if that`s even possible, lol)
That's a tall order you're imposing but the next problem would be to teach the meek what constitutes as spammy without lambasting them off the thread with as much vitriol as the archaic era. It will also take a lot of manpower and mini-modding...but there should still be a Chat Thread so that they will not miss out on the experience.
It couldn't be any more complicated than what the debate section is doing. And I'm fairly certain that once you get kicked out of the permission group you are locked out and can't get back in.
I don't see why it would be VIP either, there are a lot of new users that aren't brain dead.
That would then deny people of their second chance once they learned enough.

Remind me again why I love you <3
I say yes to this petition. But only a 1-day ban to make them learn something.
They might misunderstand or something, while they're banned someone draft up a gentle letter of wrist-slapping.
omg guys why are you all being so meta
just have a fucking chat on the fucking chat thread
The presence of wanton children has upset many regulars, they are throwing a revolt in the name of quality.
