It was, but the rules were too specific before so you could find loopholes, whereas they are generic enough to actually just be "don't be rude". Most likely the GMs didn't see loopholes but players would and that would reduce the likelihood of reporting something.

what we have now is an empty chat in dungeons and trials thanks to the perfect ToS.
There was never much talking in dungeons due to speedrunning. But I had a load of recent dungeon runs where people were talking a lot actually. So it just varies. It's like how most FCs don't have chatter. It takes someone to start it off and make conversation and break the ice.
