Although, I'm not as active as most others and might not have a full scope of situations here, so it might not be necessary to have one even if it has benefits. We've thought about the chat bot before, but the main contradiction has been the amount of staff that is usually on chat all day, keeping track of users and banning them. While it is more convenient to keep track of the warns easier that way, I usually give them three warns and if they do it again, they get banned from the chat. On the case that they do get banned from chat, these warns are kept in a log on the contributions (I believe).

The messaging is convenient, but usually there are certain times when everyone comes on chat together anyways, so there'd really be no need for it unless a person could not get on during that time. Not to mention that Chat Bots are a bit hard to set up (I am sure I could finish the job that Skrubaton started, though).
