I would vote for OPTION 1. Frankly, I never had an issue with this over the past couple years or so and it is only recently in the last couple months that this has even become an issue for some people.

I think if people just want to sit and observe, or if they are introverted and prefer to be patient before entering conversation, or if they are balancing multiple windows in the background they should not be kicked for this.

And also, truthfully, if someone falls asleep with the chat room open I see no real reason why they should be kicked for this either.

For those that are concerned about people collecting private information, the solution would be not to share information that you do not want to be public. This is a good lesson for everyone, inlcuding myself, to take to heart in the current media age.
