feature: spam prevention

[Xena]

just limit the # of times someone can spam/flood the game chat... especially those who binds a key for some stupid comments... and then just floods the chat in game.

is it possible to put a 3 line limit and if they repeat the same thing for a 3rd time then they wait for 1 min before they can say something again?

If you do implement something like that, make it only for mm1, some teams still do use text recon (er33t)

oh, it affects both? you can't have different command function for it? oh wait.... chat and team chat would probably be the same thing...

it's more like you're trying to recon your team but someone is just flooding the chat so that you dont even know what your teammate is telling you.

 There is that function already...

If you say some lines too often, you get 10sec timeout.

But like spook said, its usually turned off because of recon.

Yeah, this functionality already exists.  You could use the ignore command if you're tired of a specific player, or vote for the client side word filter if there's a specific word or phrase you want to get rid of.

[Xena]

what about spamming the chat so that you can't even see your team recon? so it's almost like this "spam/flood race"?

[blaa]

 Ignore the player doing that?

And, if that function is working then there is no problem....
