Voting:Admin Team/Amendment to Chat Policy - Passed

Ok, so right now, the chat policy states that in order to be in chat you need to at least have an active claim. However, beyond that it's a rather large grey area. I've seen some users in the past enforce this so strictly a new user barely steps food in chat and they are asked to leave until they have a claim, while other users, take weeks to work on their claim, potentially intentionally dragging their feat, and nothing is said. So this is to clear the policy up just a bit.


 * 1) It is generally up to the administration's discretion on enforcing whether or not a user should be banned from chat for not having a claim. Generally speaking though, they should be shown the policies and given at least a day or two to work on one, especially if they need help from user's in chat. However, if they come in and out of chat dozens of times, and it goes on well over a day and they still don't have a claim. They should be banned from chat with the contingency that once they have made a claim, their ban will be lifted. They should also be given a verbal warning before enacting the ban, as well as leaving them a message on their talk page, so that they clearly understand what they did wrong, and how it can be corrected.
 * 2) For user's who have made a claim, and are actively coming into chat, but take days upon weeks to get it approved, should be treated just like user's with no claims at all. As long as the user hasn't given a reasonable explanation to why they have taken so long getting their claim approved, and it is clearly not a case of slacking on the part of the members of the administration who are responsible for checking claims. If a user has spent over two weeks on their claim, and are either not actively trying and/or working on it, the claim will be denied, and they will be asked to leave chat. Again, they should be given a clear verbal warning first, once banned a message should be left on their talk page explaining what they need to do to correct the situation, and they will not be allowed back into chat, until not only do they have a claim, but that it is approved.
