I disagree with your first three points. Chat can be kept even though "no one uses it." It is still sometimes used (for example by User:IstocnoSarajevo and I) for open forum and immediate discussions. It harms no one by just being there, so I see no need to remove it.

Regarding your proposal to "cut down on unnecessary fluff...[such as] old crappy games that are over 2 years old..." I completely disagree. Map Contests and blogs are, among others, integral parts of interaction between members of the community. If we are to make this wiki more appealing to new members and thereafter have the community expand, it is essential that we maintain these features.

Lastly, banning "outright immature users" is a road to communal disaster. If we simply ban anyone who misbehaves on Map Games (ie. block the user(s) from the wiki entirely) it will dissuade future users from joining the wiki out of fear. This would be nothing but a "reign of terror" and we should not be blocking users left, right and centre. Instead, what we should do is institute a system of strikes and less harsh countermeasures to remediate the problems caused by misbehaving users before blocking them. Blocking should only occur if the punishments served before do not make the user stop.

In regards to your "No Cross, No Crown, No Cushion" proposal, I agree that we should not criticise each others' religious, political or economic beliefs while off-game to avoid flame wars a là AltHistory. However, I also think that we should allow polite debate, and only shut things down if they get out of hand.

Just to be sure, while I respect your opinion, I do not entirely agree with it. This is simply my feedback to your proposed solutions.
