Honestly, I don't like it, but I understand why it's based around chat as a whole rather than individual users. If every single user posted a couple messages in rapid succession, with the former, some of them would be muted in order to limit how many messages the server has to deal with, while with the latter, nobody is muted, and all the messages are sent.

Obviously then there's the issue with people being muted after sending a single message because of other people, but if that can be dealt with, then it should be fine.
