Rule Suggestion OOC change that won't harm new/current players as much as the current change does.

Rule suggestions will be reviewed by Superadmins, this may take longer than standard content suggestions.
What does this suggestion add/change/remove?:
This suggestion would be a anti spam method by seeing if a message is copied and if it was said in the last 10/20 seconds by the same player it can be deleted for "Spam".

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?
No.

Possible Positives of the suggestion:
Allows an anti spam system without harming newer players who use OOC for questions and for chatting with players.
Removes the system that was just implemented which heavily and negatively effects people like me who like to conversate and talk in OOC while also not solving much as 15 spam messages is still a lot.
Chat messages now with this new change are going to be longer causing longer OOC messages, people are going to be saying everything they can as much as possible causing the chat to be filled with OOC messages. You are making people communicate with letters now not texts.


Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
This system would need to be expanded upon of course due to being able to work around it (like all anti cheats/spams).

Based on the Positives &; Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
This change is something I understand, spam can make a chat bloated and bad and make new players not want to play if chats are getting spammed to shit. But new players use OOC to talk to people, I use OOC to talk to people. OOC is not something of just complaining and spamming (usually complaining but yk) it is a way to talk to people without having to use discord or anything. New players is what makes a server live so making sure they can ask questions and talk to people without being silenced is important.

NOTE: THIS IS NOT AN ATTACK ON ANY DEV, THIS CHANGE WAS MADE FOR A REASON AND I UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT THIS CHANGE HARMS MANY PLAYER'S BASIC TIME ON THE SERVER SO THIS SUGGESTION IS MADE.
another note: OOC is the way to communicate and chat, removing this chatting feature (MANY people type easily over 15 times in 15 minutes let alone 30) ruins that community aspect and makes the game just way less fun.

sorry but dev team added this change to test if CN players could handle CN HL2RP on Vimpulse framework which is stolen impulse framework by jacob when he played HL2RP and got mad that he got killed by combine when he was playing rebel









Jokes aside:

+support
A spam detection or a rate limit on OOC chat would be good (like if you say same thing 3 times you can spam detectioned or rate limited). Like i was surprised like really surprised when i saw that change out of nowhere.
 
it just takes time to get used to it other communities don't have ooc at all and rely on looc and discord, it works very well and encourages more discord activity rather than talking in ooc and having the possibility of metagaming metabaiting etc

if you really want to speak with people u got like 5 channels in the discord for everybody, if you want to speak to ur regiment u got another 2 channels i mean u got options just gotta find them

as much as i despise ssl and nl i have to give it to them this is an actual good change that prevents spam and in collateral could improve roleplay

gang 15 messages is a lot of spam but not a lot of talk, most people talk in short notes in OOC and texting so why reduce that? Also prevents metagaming people are still going to metagame this doesn't remove OOC, also there isn't a US gmod server OOC on discord I don't want to waste my time by having that up and then go back into game and then go back into discord cause I'm having a conversation so now I got to go back in game and someone's calling me oh wait I got a message on discord. It is way easier to just TALK in game then on discord you press one button for ig. this change Helps spamming MORE then the previous change cause it stops SPAM not having to spam the same message 15 times then getting banned.

Also you could make it to where its per minute (I mean the change that happened not my suggestion) so where if someone is talking to much in OOC in less then a minute or even 30 seconds like 4-5 times in 30 seconds then they can be muted for like 5 minutes.

mods remove all messages that encourage metagaming/metabaiting anyways this change is just another grubby incentive for VIP
