Reply To: How should one protest against shmoozers during davening?

Sadly the phenomenon of a few members shmoozing in shul is not uncommon. Also, there are rabbanim who are not eager to stir up trouble so they keep quite.

The real way is that when a Rav sees that guys are chatting he should motion to the chazzan to stop and everyone will wait until the lowlifes clamp up. If its done a enough times, eventually the shmoozers will get the feeling that they are not welcome and they will either shut it up or change shuls.
