Proposal:
I would like to see implemented a way to restrict a users chat permission without the use of a staff member to ensure that chat is kept clean regardless of whether or not a staff member is online.
If a user gets a specified number of reports (Should stay private for obvious reasons [Though it should be rather large]) restrict the permission to chat.
Reasoning:
I have seen examples over the past few days of users being extremely toxic, and a general nuisance without regard for the consequences of their actions, and even though their messages were reported many times there was no staff online. This meant that their toxicity is unpunished until a staff member gets online.
I understand report spam will be a definite issue if this is publicly accepted, but I definitely agree that something absolutely needs to be done about this, and that it would definitely make the shoutbox less toxic during the off hours.
How it could be implemented:
I doubt it's a setting in the chat plugin, but I do know that we have a dedicated developer on the team now, and that something like this could prove to be a difficult undertaking but I can say that this would be a very good thing for chat during the off hours.
Why it would be useful:
It will cut back on toxicity in the shoutbox, and hopefully give users a reason to follow the rules even without staff supervision.
