Increase forum mchat timer

Post by Sarah_U. » 01 Dec 2016, 10:49

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Increase the mchat timer to keep people at least 30 minutes instead of 10.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Clearly reduce the spam of dots.
It'd be a whole lot nicer, especially since now you can't even see ANYMORE chat messages when it stops.
Just convenient, please Q_Q

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
[N/A]

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
[N/A]
CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.

Spam is a hell
On May 17, 2016, a group of farmers dug up the diary of an ear of corn named Watson. Here are his entries.

Day 76:
They took Lawrence, dear god Lawrence... They ripped him off the stalk and smeared him in butter, just like Tyler and Jodie. They shipped him off to the popcorn factory...
I wonder what his wife will say.

Day 120: My brother says the VEGANS are protesting for more anti-meat bullshit. They want more of us to die. FUCKING HEATHENS.

Day 153: The ants are eating me from the inside out. They are popping out my kernels and taking them back to the nest. I feel them moving inside me. Julia says the pesticides will end our misery.

Day 300: Sweet Release. I can hear the planes flying over now. They are dropping the gas, it feels so good, sweet release-

30 minutes, an hour, remove it all together, I don't care. Just PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

You can change this locally by doing into the Developer Tools of your browser, and going to the console tab where you simply enter "mChat.sessionTime = 13e+09"

Doing that would force me to keep the forum page up 24/7 and the second I get disconnected for inactivity or anything I need to redo it, it's unfriendly for most of the player who have no knowledge of it.

Timer increased to 30 minutes.

This was done due to a performance complaint from our data center and the mChat extension, so it may go back to 10 minutes.
