I get that it isn't just one problem, and by highliting that problem I don't mean to be naive or anything, but...every argument is started by a break of chat policy, and I'm going to venture most of that is ignoring rule #4. And that's only natural. If someone says something you don't like, you're going to want to retaliate in some way. Maybe, at the top part where chat has a link to the chat policy, it should read something like: All arguments should be ended or taken to PM. Do not forget to read and follow chat policy.

Then no admin would need to clarify their reasons for kicking the quarreling parties.

And, honestly, if anyone likes the idea of shutting down chat, I think they are just plain nuts. Even if they never go on chat, there are some people that just wouldn't be on the wiki without it, or would leave the wiki if chat was taken away. I know that no admin can be on at all times, so monitoring it wouldn't be easy, but...really, what are these arguments started over? Nothing, right? Maybe you could put a pop-up that pops up when a user logs in to the wiki that gives a reminder/warning about arguments on chat.

P.S.: Sometimes fingers need to be pointed.
