I know this won't be a high priority, even if accepted, but it still may be decent later on.
So I find that people still attempt to advertise on the server, and other than staff intervention, are not thwarted. So I thought of an idea. What if suspected links and addresses are only broadcasted to the user, and filtered from everyone else's view.
In an ideal state, it would take an average advertiser, make them think their advertisement went through, when really, no one can see them.
The filter would also unfortunately hit people who are trying to crunch for space in their message, rushed for time, or are not great with English grammar, as the filter recommended would just look at the chat message, scan for periods, and then look at two characters surrounding them. If neither of the surrounding characters are spaces, the message would be blocked to everyone but the sender.
In amendment, the filter may also have a whitelist, allowing some links to pass through (like mcpz.net)
The system would also capture what the user said, and put it in an accessible list of other adverts for the staff to view at their earliest convenience. Items in this list can be cleared as they're dealt with (Similar to how reports work)
