To those of you who say that its an "invasion of privacy" then I'll just say that it's a PUBLIC CHAT, and that whatever you post WILL get seen anyways. this is meant as a breach-of-TOS-prevention-only measure, and if you dont be a jackass, this really shoudn't affect you. Nobody said anything about breach of privacy or TOS. The main matter of what I bring up is that several people broach personal subjects on the chat. Yes indeed it is a public chat, but in a way, you can "control" who sees what you say. For example, I can decide to reveal some informations about myself given who the audience is. I can see just who will see it and thus have a small sense of privacy. Having the logs be public remove this basic form of privacy there is in the chat room.
