It is with great hesitation that I bring this topic up given what happened last time this was bought up and I don't want to go into all of that again but I would appreciate if the community could all come together to discuss this amicably, regardless of whether you support this or not.

==Voting==
In accordance with the wiki's [[The Sims Wiki:Policy/Participation Policies#Voting Procedures|voting procedures]], this vote will last for two weeks.

Should we have a logging bot for The Sims Wiki's chatroom?

Okay so I have managed to test the chatbot prototype and I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is it actually connects to Chat and can lurk indefinitely. The bad news is the function of the bot that actually logs ''to the wiki'', i.e. the only thing that we actually want this for, is somewhat broken. It works okay logging to disk but I don't think I'll be manually copying and pasting logs from my server to the wiki as I neither have the time or the patience for it. Also the YouTube script that I bundled with it, similar to that of [[User:Lost Labyrinth/Deus ex machina|my IRC bot]], takes a while to respond, like my IRC bot.
Just putting this out there. Don't cry if this forum passes and there's a broken bot in Chat. {{LabSig}} 14:37, July 6, 2014 (UTC)

This poll does not determine the outcome of proposal. It is simply here for observational purposes.

== Closure ==
I'm boldly closing this thread early-ish and deeming it as unsuccessful for several reasons:
#I feel 2 weeks was far too long for this vote. I doubt we'd get anything else in terms of consensus anyway.
#Going by the discussion, there's not really any consensus to adopt a chatbot. Going by the vote, normally I look for a two-thirds support rate to pass a vote, and technically we have slightly under that. Furthermore two users have somewhat changed their minds from the discussion to the vote and that spells out a clear level of indecisiveness with regards to the proposal itself. Plus the poll, of which I don't know why it was even created, shows a generally negative reaction to adopting a chatbot.
#As stated above, the logging feature is broken. There's no point me trying to fix it if the adoption of a chatbot would polarise the entire community, like it has.
#[[TSW:CHAT|Chat]], like it or not, is dead. Literally. Barely anybody sticks around there anymore as much as they did before. IRC seems to be a lot more popular right now (not trying to be biased here). What's the point of going to all this trouble for absolutely nothing? I understand it wasn't like this when the chatbot was proposed and whether this is the cause of the decline or merely just a coincidence, I don't know, but my point stands.
'''tl;dr''', this discussion will not result in the adoption of a bot in Chat. If anybody wishes to bring this up again, please do so in a new thread. {{LabSig}} 13:47, July 13, 2014 (UTC)
