Thanks, it is the question I should have found were I focused specifically on the Android chat room. It gives the reasons for their rules. There is something in the linked answer that would may be informational to incorporate into the rules, though: Also, chat is not tech support. We try to use the Android room to discuss higher level concepts. There are other Android rooms that may help you. That said, we do help out new guys, provided that they respect the rules. This makes the room's purpose and workings more clear.

New visitors to that chat room had little respect for the members there, and would use direct pings to every visible user, spam the chat room with their questions, and demand answers to them. As with other restrictions on new user access here, a lack of consideration for other people is what led to this restricted access. | |
