Please get rid of ChatterBank

for a trial period of a few months (to begin with).
The consequences of the tribal associations and enmities that originate in CB affect the rest of the site because of the troll postings. Getting rid of CB might result in the loss of some regular contributors to other sites but you could gain more new users who are put off by the abusive/profane/stupid nonsense that appears on this site far too often. Once CB is gone the current system of reporting chatting would suffice.
Make this a proper Q&A site, reduce the social networking aspect.

Having been an AB member for 6+yrs you'll find it would just spill over onto another topic -like B & S before.
The only problems on CB which havent been so apparent in the years ive been here are the random 'Klown' posts.
There was always tiffs but loads of laughs as well -this is a new thing and i'm sure that the techies are trying to stay abreast of them -difficult with foreign middle east IPs I suspect which are ten a penny.
Lets just have a laugh and ignore them (im guilty as charged in that I would defend someone) but in the main surely it wouldnt be so difficult?

Bibble would that mean we would never hear your dulcet tones again? Just because there are outbreaks of troll-fever you want the whole site to close?
