Don't repeat yourself needs a little tweak.
Lørd Tøny:
I like the "don't repeat yourself" restriction in Blockland however it can be slightly easy to abuse. All it takes is changing a simple character and you can repeat easily, I think this should be fixed to avoid chat flooding.
Example:
Hey guys please join my server!
Hey guys please join my server!!
Hey guys please join my server!!!
Hey guys please join my server!!!!
Hey guys please join my server!!!!!
At this point the flood filter kicks in.
What it should really do:
Hey guys please join my server!
Hey guys please join my server!! - Flood filter kicks in here.

Always with the situations where that is innocent. For instance, lag and you don't think something sent. But meh. I think the whole repeating block is stupid. It causes problems... But it should stay anyway... :panda:

I think the "don't repeat yourself" rule needs to ignore non alphanumeric characters. All it takes is a space to throw it off.

There will never be a case where your message will just not ever appear in TGE. Even when you have infinite lag, when you come out of it, all the messages you typed are sent at once.

I'm saying that you go "D: My message didn't send?" and resend it. You might add something to it as you freak out, and then Lord Tony's tweak comes into play.

Or Badspot could just make a flexible system that people can change to suit their server.
Say, their server is popular, and alot of people try to spam there, they'd be able to change the settings to suit it [For example, the value of how many messages can be repeated before the flood filter kicks in, exceptions, .etc]
