I noticed that you have a policy here forbidding users with no edits to use Special:Chat, on the bounds that said users could be trolls, spammers, and/or sockpuppets.

However, the enforcement of this policy can be rather difficult as far as I have seen, as some users prefer not to edit at all or don't know how to yet, and it takes an awful lot of coding to put up an effective edit restriction.

So here is my suggestion: make an embedded IRC chat room with http://webchat.irchighway.net and mode the channel +r so that only registered users can get in. You and your co-crats YazzyDream and Tuckyd will be opped and chat mods will be h-opped, and I will even throw in a bot or two if you like.

Of course, this is just my 2 cents. :)
