Chat is a feature on OS, built in the fall of 2013. It is used to chat with other users from Online Sequencer.
Security
Online Sequencer requires users to create an account in order to chat, but this ability is restricted for the first 24 hours of an account's existence. The grace period was enacted in 2021 to discourage spam.
The cooldown period is set to five seconds per message. The admins have been using this restriction since 2021 to reduce rapid spam and increase security from attacks.
Mutes
If a user misbehaves in chat, moderators can mute these users. Mutes can vary between a few minutes to seven days or permanently, depending on the rule and severity. Until 2021, permanent mutes didn't exist. To see a list of all users who have been muted, visit https://onlinesequencer.net/muted
Chat Logs
Old chat messages are kept on chat logs, where users can see older messages of other users.
Purges
Two purges exist. One in 2019 and one in 2022. During that time, all messages on Online Sequencer at the time were cleared for new messages. This only happens on the website. Discord users can still see older comments from 2020.
