Actually it needs alot of monitoring to prevent abuse.MIRINGU, a chat feature such as IRC is something that occasionally gets requested here at AAC, and we have always resisted implementing it for several reasons.
Firstly, the such a feature requires moderation to prevent abuse which is beyond to modest resources the mod team here at AAC can offer.
Secondly, the forums are heavily indexed by search engines, including our own SE here at AAC, which provide a valuable repository of information of others looking for information. Questions and answers over IRC are not indexable in this way and hence valuable information could potentially be lost; therefore we always recommend discussion take part in the open forum.
These are the reasons we have resisted implementing a chat feature. As always, anything that can provide net benefits to the site is always "on the table".
Further comments welcome.
