Shoutout to Nystus and his hilarious screencaps. Thank you for bringing up a very good example of why we should not rely on screencaps. Nystus often doctors his screen captures of what other people have "said", to comic effect. A logging bot documents all of this without any editing, and if anyone attempts to edit the logs, their marks will be left in the page history.

Incidentally, the logging of chat discussion as long as personal conversations are being held is a violation of Wikia's Terms of Use (bullets 5, 7 and 19). This is distinct from people volunteering personal information via editing and comments because you join chat with the expectation that nothing is logged. This is standard for most IRCs, and when you join chat there is no indication otherwise. Wikia Terms of Use:

...you also agree not to use the Service to:
 * [...]


 * Post or transmit any communication or solicitation designed or intended to obtain password, account, or private information from any Wikia user; [...]
 * Solicit personal information from any user under the age of 18; [...] You further agree:
 * Not to access, collect or store personal data about other users in connection with the prohibited conduct and activities described in this “User Conduct” section.
