The reason, for some, that they choose to use chat is that it isn't saved. As you may know, since you've requested a copy of the comments, that two people can interpret the exact same comments in very different manners.
>If so, I can unsubscribe them...
A chat dialogue can go on for several hours and I've even seen it go for several days. Taking a portion of the chat and condemning someone for it would be a wrong decision in my opinion.
There's a small group of regulars from the babble board who almost use the board daily. There has also been newer people have have chosen to use the open option as a form of support.
The chat room has been used for more than a year regularly and there have been no complaints besides having easy access to it. Your decision at this point to begin moderating it, is way off base.
