They just discontinued subreddit chat rooms too, which was a massive embarrassing back-tracking on a highly controversial feature.

Reddit's whole philosophy with chat was just to shove it down everyone's throats, and see if it sticks. The spammers loved it right from the get-go, but nobody else is using it.

As far as I can tell the personal chats, where most of the spam comes from, are still there.

I stopped checking it because 95% of it was harrassment for modding.
