Archived Lack Of Communication

[Morbytogan]

Players on MassiveCraft cannot discuss things in public without having to wait 1 minute between each message. This causes players to post in chat less often and so new people will get bored and leave as there is no sense of community being created. I propose that the chat delay should get reduced significantly, to 3-15 seconds. This would increase the sense of community and hence the playercount as players will not be as bored in an empty feeling server.
1 minute is way too long and if anything just annoys players. There is no need for such a delay, and an active chat is good, not bad.

Premiums get to post every 30 seconds. Not to mention the 250 character limit on Minecraft now allows for very long sentences to be made. Pick your words wisely, and if you can simplify your wording in general chat do so.

I find 1 minute to be fine for general chat, as it helps curb any unnecessary spam. If a discussion is only between a few peeps, tp some place on the server and use local chat

that's my 2 cents

Imagine if... @TheLoneShepherd

 

[Zacatero]

Yeah if you want a shorter time delay donate for premium here

 

[falconhand]

I think dropping to 40s nonlrem and 15s with prem would be good

Agree

1 minute is way too long, the cooldown should be reduced down to at least 20-30 seconds. If its possible, make it increase exponentially up to 1 minute so people can't just abuse the lower countdown.

I don't see why not. Can't say when it'll happen though, Cay's availability to change configs is a bit spotty.

It's not just about discussions, it's about new players not feeling at home with such an empty chat.

Years ago the timer was put in place because there were more factions players and they liked to talk about. We also had double the people on all the time so the chat was spammed. Even with 1 minute it wasn't really enough, but it helped. Now that there aren't as many people on, decreasing the timer isn't an issue as it once was.

You've changed my opinion on this matter, I think this change would be good for MassiveCraft

Only person who I think should have a shorter chat delay is @TheLoneShepherd

 

[Conflee]

I am in favor, as it could encourage more meaningful discussion in that chat as opposed to sitting and being bored.

 

[Visarovich]

Id be all for shorter chat delays too, but 3-15 seconds for a server with 150-200 people daily sounds like incoming spam. Something like what @falconhand said might be good tho.

On a more serious note, this has already been addressed somewhat with the addition of Survival and Roleplay chats in-game with much less delay.

But I think like 30 sec for non-prem and 15 sec for prem is fine. Spam isn't a big problem currently.
