  • During today’s X Space: Micro Transactions in Gaming multiple bot accounts (all created same date) where spamming chat in World 1 Theater at the same time with a political message.
  • During giveaways or events players spam chat to get attention from the giveaway host for rewards.
Problem:
  • Chat becomes unreadable and screen is cluttered with message popups.
  • It add lag to the game during peak events.
Solution:
  • Add a timer where users cannot post the same message within a X given time. When the same message is posted within X time the chat message should be refused and the player should get a notification that the message is not send as it is considered spamming chat. For a working example see Twitch chat which already has this implemented.
  • Auto mute players from using in-game chat (short timeout) if they keep spamming chat after the spam chat notification warning has been send.
