'''Chat''' is a feature on OS, built in the fall of 2013. It is used to chat with other users from Online Sequencer.
The '''chat''' feature on Online Sequencer provides users with a convenient platform for real-time communication and interaction with other users while using the website. It is designed as a popup window with an option to be moved to the sidebar. The chat feature facilitates sharing sequences, receiving feedback, and engaging in general discussions within the Online Sequencer community.


==Security==
== Usage Requirements ==
Online Sequencer requires users to create an account 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.
To use the chat feature on Online Sequencer, users are required to have an account. Creating an account allows users to access various features, including the chat functionality. However, it's important to note that newly registered accounts must wait for a 24-hour period before they can participate in the chat.


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.
==Enforcement of Rules==
Online Sequencer has established [https://onlinesequencer.net/forum/thread-1538.html clear community guidelines] to foster a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. These guidelines outline acceptable behavior, including prohibitions on harassment, hate speech, spamming, and sharing explicit or offensive content. Moderators actively monitor the chat, promptly addressing any rule violations and taking appropriate action. Users who repeatedly violate the community guidelines may face disciplinary action, including temporary or permanent muting, temporary or permanent bans, or other measures deemed necessary by the moderation team. These actions aim to maintain a welcoming and respectful environment within the Online Sequencer chat, fostering a positive experience for all participants.


==Mutes==
* [https://onlinesequencer.net/muted List of currently muted users]
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==
==Chat Logs==
Old chat messages are kept on chat logs, where users can see older messages of other users.
Online Sequencer maintains chat logs that users can search for specific words, phrases, or usernames. These logs serve as a historical record of conversations, facilitating the retrieval of past discussions and relevant information. Users can easily search for specific content or track interactions by entering keywords, phrases, or usernames in the search field. It's worth noting that chat logs are periodically cleared to optimize system performance, prompting users to save important information separately if necessary.
===Purges===
Two purges exist. One in 2019 and one in 2022. During that time, all messages on Online Sequencer at that time were cleared for new messages. This only happens on the website. Discord users can still see older comments from spring 2020.
