| Mar 10, 2018 at 9:13 | comment | added | forest distrusts StackExchange | The difference is that IRC's flood limit is often quite liberal. On some popular networks, you are allowed to send 10 lines (512 bytes in size, including nickname, channel, and command) in a single burst, and then all subsequent lines must be 0.5 or 1 second apart. Of course, many bots with chanop will have their own custom thresholds for individual channels. Of course, then the bots might get lag and then ban everyone who was talking because it thinks that the incoming burst is spam... | |
| Jan 9, 2016 at 11:27 | comment | added | Caleb | The character limit for chat messages is huge. Anybody hitting this limit can just expand their thoughts in each messages rather than spewing incomplete bits in separate messages. The rate limit is already generous enough that even the fastest typists are never going to hit it and you can post whole walls of text in a row, you just need to hit enter less often. Send messages after whole sentences or paragraphs rather than after each word and you'll be golden. | |

Thank you for the suggestion. I feel your pain. (Well not this particular pain, but something like it.) I'm afraid chat moderation can handle this. :-(

| Jun 19, 2015 at 11:38 | comment | added | Angelo Fuchs | I propose (rep/1000) + 2 messages in a row. | |
| Jun 17, 2015 at 16:26 | comment | added | Stephan Muller | As a regular chat user, yes please. I understand some kind of anti-spam mechanism is needed, but a bit more leniency after a certain rep treshold would be very welcome. | |
| Jun 16, 2015 at 20:24 | comment | added | TylerH | @tchrist It would probably not be a bad idea if it were a privilege gained at 10k or 20k. | |
| Apr 17, 2015 at 11:54 | comment | added | Madara's Ghost | @Doorknob given that chat works mainly on WebSockets now as opposed to the old polling system, I guess the restrictions can be made more lenient. But I'm not sure how the internal stuff works. | |
| Apr 17, 2015 at 11:45 | comment | added | Doorknob | @SecondRikudo True, but unlike Stack Exchange chat, I can at the very least post more than two messages in a row. | |
| Apr 17, 2015 at 11:35 | comment | added | Madara's Ghost | IRC has a restraint. You don't see it. IRC will throttle your messages and induce lag on purpose. If you post too much too fast, the server will terminate you with "Excess Flood". | |
| Apr 17, 2015 at 2:44 | comment | added | tchrist | Not sure this is a good idea. | |
