Let me give you a quick example of how annoying something like this can be:

 

 

Shad: I once

XFizzle: I ate sixteen french fries as well, but I countered the indigestion by Pelvic Thrusting.

Shad: Ate a donut

Fluttershy: There was a time when indigestion was controling my life, but I slapped it in the face and it never came back.

Shad: And it

Shad: Gave

Zoop: Alas, my indegestion got the better of me during my trip to New York in that fancy pants Japanese restaurant

Shad: me

Shad: terrible

Shad: indigestion

Nico: Herp-a-derp, wuts indyjestun?

Shad: So I

Shad: Went out

Arylett Dawnsborough: Nooooo, I hate indegestion, I had it last week and felt really sick :(

Shad: And

Shad: Died

 

 

As opposed to This:

Fluttershy: There was a time when indigestion was controling my life, but I slapped it in the face and it never came back.

Shad: I once ate a donut, and it gave me terrible indigestion, so I went out and died.

Zoop: Alas, my indegestion got the better of me during my trip to New York in that fancy pants Japanese restaurant

Nico: Herp-a-derp, wuts indyjestun?

Arylett Dawnsborough: Nooooo, I hate indegestion, I had it last week and felt really sick :(

 

 

Also, not only is it annoying, but it makes you look very much like a six year old child.

What if limits are put on those who spam ~

because 5 seconds is too long,

and 10 messages a minute can be too little,

especially when there are only like 3 active ponies in the chat. ~

...

Why did I have to die? Now there's no sequel. :(

 

But the thing is

I'm not doing that

I'm doing this.


Did you ever think I get lonely?

Did you ever think that I needed love?

Did you ever think, stop thinking

You're the only one that I'm thinking of?

That isn't too bad of an idea, I suppose something of the like could be arranged by Feld0. Perhaps something like a 30 second chat suspension, placed on those who press the 'enter' button more than 5 times in fifteen seconds?

Whether you may be conversing by means of one word per sentence or three, the negative impact of disrupting the flow of conversation still remains; whether posting in such a manner is simply a habit or otherwise, for the sake of avoiding any potential inconvenience to others, im sure that you (as well as all other members) are perfectly capable of writing out full sentences in order to communicate with others.

 

While I understand that on occasion, the use of short sentences can be considered appropriate (such as for the use of emphasis, or comical impact), for the most part, writing in phrases can potentially result in chat disruptions, and such an issue can easily be avoided by simply refraining from overusing bite-sized posts as a means of discussing matters.

Unfortunately IP.Chat is probably the one thing on the site that Feld0 has no means to modify - the entire thing is operated entirely on a remote server with very little in the way of configuration or automated enforcement options.

I thought that might have been a possibility, but me being the optimist I am, I just secluded it in the dark part of my brain until confirmed. ;)

If

I

was

talking

like

this

for

example

and

the

sentences

were

multiple

and

also

long

like

this

one

then

yeah

that

is

spam

 

But if I go like this,

on the other hand

It's not spamming, its a way

some people think, in fragments.

 

...For some reason, I still think this is part of chat spam. Word by word is so annoying.

Definitely something worth addressing as a few people continually write like this and whenever they're in the chat you will have this kind of spam.

Possible solution: recruiting some more active responsable chat moniters that use it frequently. To the extent of my knowledge, there are only two.
