General Freezechat

[MariTheVillain]

So with the new experimental shared lobby chat system, things can get a bit hectic in the chat. Especially if something big happens, like creative crashing, the lobby floods with messages like "LAAAAG" or "WHAT HAPPENED?!" and "WHEN WILL CREATIVE BE ONLINE"

this gets relatively frustrating while I'm doing a sentry run and all that. So this suggestion is to give add a command to the Moderator's digital tool belt to allow them to either:

A: Slow down the chat, restricting everyone temporarily only being able to chat once every X unit of time (maybe a minute, or every half a minute)

or

B: Just disable everyone from chatting in general for a short while, whilst the issue is being resolved.

it's a bit of a half baked idea, but given the situations we have recently been coming across, I feel that it isn't entirely an inappropriate course of action in this point in time.

Yah with that feature It can be really annoying with all 5 lobbies spamming it.

Also maybe people can Disable the all hub feature if they dont want it (If thats possible)

I think the chat freeze is already a thing in Creative. I'm pretty sure Mods can freeze the chat or make it Staff only chat for a little

I believe it is, but I think it only activates when the server is about to reboot or some crazy event is happening

I like this, but staff could maybe also use this feature to keep build battles under control. My point is, they can mute chat, and then unmute it AFTER they ask the question.

This is already implemented in creative when it's about to restart. c:

How to instantaneously shut the server down because everyone ragequit.
10 seconds is the max for this bro.
It's a lot longer than it seems.
