The Chat is a part of the site by default.

It's a feature that I can turn off at any time, just like Comments, Message Walls, Blogs, Polls, and of course, Achievements.

Therefore, the site's jurisdiction extends there. It's been this way for a while, but no one really (or properly) bothered to point it out. So it's non-negotiable. >->
