Summary0001933: Consider removing the 1 minute mute
DescriptionIt's hair-rippingly irritating and can easily be caught by legit chat. I know the point probably is to hinder lamers but after the 1 minute they'll just continue to annoy everyone again, requiring admin attention anyway.

Can we please get rid of it? The 15 second mute really should be sufficient (and even that could be laxed a bit IMO).

See my previous issue (1932). It says the mute IS actually 15 seconds. And that is true.

10:52 <+Konar6> there should still be some spam prevention, but not to be triggered on typing 3 messages
10:53 <+Konar6> or it should be configurable
[...]
13:39 <@Dusk> i agree some spam filtering should be present to at least reduce incentive to spamming
13:40 <@Dusk> i just think that the current setup is too trigger-happy and punishes legit users
13:40 <@Dusk> which is bad
13:41 <@Dusk> the big question is, does the '1 minute mute' message actually turn away spammers?
13:41 <@Dusk> ergo does it have some psychological warfare effect
13:41 <@Dusk> if spammers know that it does nothing then there is no reason to keep it at all
13:42 <@Dusk> otherwise i guess it should be fixed and make the trigger rules for the automute less strict

A spammer will most likely just spam over and over again until it works since he has no idea of the exact time remaining..

It would be nice to cut the value in half further for team chats.

Agreed, the filter is too harsh at this time.

Now, with this commit, I suppose this can be closed if testing goes well (the topic is the 'removing the 1 minute mute').

Yeah, I guess so.
