Allow me to state how the idea of having X edits is a pretty terrible idea.
 * 1) Not everyone knows how to edit in mainspace. We are 'not supposed force them to make an edit.
 * 2) Even if such rule would be implemented, a disruptive user can still make a certain number of mainspace edits and then cause havoc afterwards.
 * 3) What the heck happened to assuming good faith? So you want a user with 0 edits out of chat if that user came in chat without any malicious intent? That's strictly screwed up. Why should we be to harsh to new users? That's the equivalent of assuming that the person is the real thief for stealing your favorite accessory when you don't have the evidence that the person really stole your accessory.
