see i do believe that an attempt to combat spam is valuable and honestly something that should be attempted and added in

but the issue with this is that it is judging what needs to be muted based on the wiki chat itself instead of individuals. this does nothing but hurt other users as a whole in terms of chat and punishes the entire chat room instead of the person the system accuses of "spam".

if this muting system was coded to work on an invididual basis, rather than the mass chat focus it currently is, i feel as though this initiative would be recieved far more happily amongst the comminuty- who seem to universally dislike the change as-is
