It's a public domain anyway - you can't feasible enforce "privacy" even if Teh's bot is disabled.

With my short time on the wiki, there is 99% of the time a mod in the chat with chat hack pings to ensure the chat is undisturbed with a kick or ban button on standby, we don't really need it because of the activity of mods and users alike.

So if we respect the principle of not wanting Big Brother breathing down our necks and we don't need a logged chat for moderation purposes... Why are we logging chat exactly?
