Wikia TOU in regards to customisation hardly, if ever, applies to the chat, simply because only registered users can see it: they don't like site wide edits being made to JS/CSS that hinders anonymous contributors because most registered users will disable ads anyway (either through preferences or ad blockers).

In fact, Wikia Staff don't much care for it (hence why they don't deal with chat issues at all or accept screenshots from it), so I would assume that their TOU does not apply in any way to the chat (I've never yet seen a user get global'd because of chat, except if the incident happens on community central).

However, I did receive an email from Sannse and they've passed my feedback to the team who manages the chat code for consideration, but it's not a priority by any means. I just thought that maybe someone here could whip up a bit of code that I could personally use on chats: I didn't intend for someone to develop a full-on script for mainspace on this wiki lol.

@452: In regards to emails, that was different because that was core MediaWiki functionality. Chat, however, is a Wikia addon and could probably be extended differently. Just like the forum module, but I won't get into much detail about it here.
