Rework chat spam block

Post by Neray » 09 Aug 2016, 16:08

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Remove "You just said something, take a breath." thing.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
As a fasttyping individual, it really hurts when every 2nd phrase is getting cut off due to bad realization of spam block, that's way too inefficient considering the server lag. Let us speak as fast as we can, as usual, without ENTER input blocks.

Also, there's a popular trend within old SS13 pals, to speak with 1-3 words in every sentence. Basically, the only thing that this spam block achieves is marines being silent during battle or screaming something like:
Urist McMarine says "I NEED"
You just said something, take a breath.
Urist McMarine says "NOW"
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
Rework it so it won't make you eat up every fast typed in phrase, but leave anti-spam system active for situations when massive amounts of text are being spammed.

+1+1+1+1, I type really fast 3 word phrases when I communicate, and I end up getting spam filtered for 5+ because I have the take a breath thing happen.

You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.

SAME, I'm a fast typist and I hate it when I get denied a post!

Yeah, sometimes it is better to fire off a few short sentences/words rather than try to type out something long and coherent.

+1 bump. Almost every round I play I get "You just said something, take a breath."

I recommend removing the first layer of the spam block and let the message through while keeping the first check, and keep the subsequent spam blocks intact so that it still blocks spam without crippling fast typists.

I guess it couldn't hurt to disable it, see if chat is unbearable or not.

Marines usually need to communicate in several short sentences during combat to prevent getting raped by xenos/ff
