Chat rate limit?

[bung-alope]

I haven't seen anything implemented for it in my cfg files...

Would it be possible at all to put a rate limit on chat? It's incredibly obnoxious when immature players scroll text after every kill/death/spawn.

Maybe something that could detect duplicate text scrolling so regular chatters wouldn't suffer from rate limiting?

I dont think this is implemeted, but you can vote for it on the next build thread.
For now you could just ignore the persons that spams text.

If you are a server admin, you can do:

Code: [Select]

cvar_set floodprotect 1
It helps a little bit, because they have a limit for some seconds. If they reach this limit, they can't spam for 10 seconds.

They can spam about 4 lines before the 10 seconds goes into effect.

cmdfloodprotect -- this sets a limit on basically all commands that can be spammy (in seconds).  Originally I had it set to 1 second, but many people complained about not being able to recon fast enough, so the default was bumped down to 0.2 seconds.
