I’ve moved this to #Contribute > Feature and tagged it #chat as it isn’t a broken thing but rather a thing you are requesting.

You’ve got my +1! It would be really helpful to be able to easily configure site defaults for chat.

You could probably do what you need via the Rails console for your existing users. But I’m not sure how you’d do that for your new joiners. Maybe a Custom Wizard?
