It's getting messages in two places.

I generally agree with this.

But there are situation where I'm talking to someone that deals directly with a board issue, and in those cases this would be very useful. I think it'd be a good feature to add, but not necessary either.

OK, I can see how there *might* be some circumstances where it's actually useful, but in this case, will it save logs so that users can look back on the chats the same way they look back on PMs? My IMs log, IRC logs, I save my PMs...I'm very unlikely to use a form of communication that will no longer log.

Only mods and you can see your warning status. Notice how you can't see the warning meter on anyone's posts except your own. Most warnings are permanent - this is the way it has always been, we just have a much better way of keeping track of things now.
