Item Execution Messages are now being formatted. Not a big thing to you folks .. just keep an eye out for unformatted changes as we update them. Look for changes gradually in this.
Finally, the biggest change that will matter to most of you is to gags and an ungag.
Gags are now unavoidable with a refresh. Basically, leaving the chat and coming back won't remove them. Additionally, we have left the time remaining in the gag at the end of the user message. So you will see how long is left on the wise guy that precipitated the gag initially.
Furthermore, the user that is gagged no longer sees the message that they are sending. To a gagged user, it appears that all is fine, and they are typing away as usual. The user DOES get a message sent to them when they are gagged and when the gag expires, but thats it. You miss it, you continue to look foolish.
Also with gags, there is an interval with which their filtered message will be sent, and we can set that .. for instance Emo Gag allows a user to send something only once every 30 seconds .. that can easily be extended.
UnGag has now been added. So a gagged user can be ungagged.
We are not gagging in channels yet .. we have other options coming online for that .. but will be a little while still as we have a lot of things still going along those lines.
Most of the other changes are only for mods and admins benefits really. But figured you folks would like to know about the new gags and how they are working.
More docs soon
