    I was wondering if it would be possible to implement a few public chat rooms into the tabbed chat system to cut down on the huge amount of spam on servers with multi-node chat, like infinity, or even just splitting off a trade tab from the main chat, maybe a default "new players" chat and a general chat or something like that.

    Yeah, but at the moment in Infinity at least all non-private chat is happening in the one "room", and since there are 4 servers that can get kinda spammy ;)

    part of keeping it in 1 room is that is easier to watch the chats for our moderators if they don't have to switch between channels. I do like the idea though and its something we could look into
     
    Mijikai and chugga_fan like this.

    I wasn't satisfied with its usage in 1.4 where we had a global channel, a trading channel and a help channel. 90% of the content was still in the global channel as most players didn't know how to or didn't want to use the others. I don't see what could have changed that this would be different, especially considering the fact that at this time you couldn't simply join the server and had been given usage instructions at the beginning.

    You could ask the players to move their talk to a party chat which can be created via /party

    Just make it like WoW where you do /t whatever and it displays in a different color with a prefix and users have an option to turn off channels
