Pin Chat Messages

Post by ssilk »

TL;DR
Add a feature (Taken from here https://slack.com/help/articles/2052399 ... mark-links ) to pin chat messages and links in the chat.
What ?
I am coming from this thread viewtopic.php?p=561546#p561546

This adds a new command that shows a chat message in a separate region at the top of the chat window.

Optionally it enables to select a previous chat message.

The command needs eventually privileges to be executed (to prevent spamming).

It should show somehow, if a new messages has been pinned.

The place above for the pinned messages is limited to about 5-10 messages (balancing) so that it looks equal for all players.

It should be foldable for each player, so that you can see the whole chat.

Pinned messages can be easily removed.
Why ?
Some mods / game-admins / players use chat messages for additional important messages for info that's hard to find elsewhere, and not being able to scroll back in chat sucks.

Usage cases are endless.
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.
