How about...

We have 2-3 people on BOTH chats at the same time (resize the windows so both can be viewed at once) and when a new user comes on chat, they'll give them a temporary invite link to Discord. That way, sockpuppets are kept out of Discord. Those who don't use Dischord can chat normally on the wiki chat.

Also, we added a new bot recently which seems to have a logging feature.

Regarding the vote...

Discord chat:

Pros:
 * Voice chat: This currently isn't being used as frequently as 2 weeks ago. It is still being used for people to share music (either directly playing it or via music bot)
 * Videos (Youtube), GIFs, Images are (usually) instantly shown, no need to click the link. Someone can use this to post nsfw stuffs though, but the next advantage can fix it.
 * Edit/Delete messages
 * Bots: They have several functions and can be used as entertainment, even when chat is ded.
 * Multiple channels so we can chat about a certain subject without being interrupted (e.g. Heroes disscussion is a channel)
 * Higher protection against sockpuppets (the invite links are only temporary)
 * Staffs are pinged much easier (in the previous 2 attacks of that r34 guy I pinged Jack and he came immediately)

Cons:
 * Not accessible to new users. Plus they need to sign up again and prove to staffs that they ARE from the wiki, also needs to be there for a good amount of time or will fall under "Suspicious User" category (if it weren't for me Snappy would have kicked Iliketrains455)
 * No custom font/background
 * May receive the attention of non-wikians who somehow got the link. But staffs will ask them for their PvZWiki usernames, and if they fail to give one, it's kicking time.
 * Makes the wiki chat VERY DED, resulting in several users leaving.
 * Splitting the entire wiki into two sides, which is demonstrated in this very thread.

A part of me doesn't want the wiki to be separated, but there is this small part that REALLY like the features of Discord and how good it is when the splitting/leaving users are not taken into account. So, I'll vote for Neutral (why use template when my vote won't even be counted)
