Rules against not posting votes to close it are included; the only reason those were banned was because of Discord supposedly being unofficial.

Not to mention, we have to consider the fact that now, promotions and demotions are now influenced by Discord. In addition, how would warnings work with the Wiki, if the offense was on Discord?

And what about that godforsaken @everybody ping? Would abusing that be against the rules now? Or would it still be allowed?

What about socks? How exactly do we defend against socks on Discord, when that lacks the stuff such as the mass-filters that Wikia has? Not to mention, when Discord has an embed feature, so any and all images are guaranteed to appear irregardless of if they're clicked?

And that's just SOME stuff, we've barely even started. It's too much of a mess that it's honestly just not worth it. It really makes it debatable as to if it's even worth having another chat outside of the Lawn, period. How hard could it be to implement a single simple widget? With zero regard for consistency with pre-existing rules? Easy.

With any actual care in doing so as to not come off as unfair in rules? Well, to put it bluntly, it's a mess, but it's easier to do than resisting the urge to shoot a rocket launcher at the people shipping us... It's easy. Put the widget on the sidebars underneath the "official" chat box, everyone including the new guys get access to both chat, nobody is enforced to go to one in particular. That's fair for the old guys, fair for the newcomers, so it's fair for me. The only thing that has been holding this back has been the constant insult flinging for the last few months; the laws were erected to prevent you guys from jumping and screaming at each other, not to prevent constructive discussion from taking place.
