Copy/Paste wave management

[rloutrel]

Some streamers accept (and provoke them) copy-paste waves on their chats (for example: shaunz) which makes it unreadable. It might improve the usability and ease the management, if some detection and clustering could be done based on a string matching.

Example of implementation idea (for a better explanation of what I mean):

There is a kind of buffer of last M messages (disappear after M messages or after a given time?). Each new message is checked against this list.

• If it is found, a repetition counter is incremented and the disappearance mechanism is increased.
• If the repetition count is higher than N times, the clustering occurs. It could present the initiator of the copy-paste wave and the following sheep.

The clustering itself, means removal of matching messages from the 'normal chat' into a dedicated space. This space could be a clickable 'View current Copy-paste waves' button (hidden/inactive? when no wave in progress). A click on it opens a small overlay with the list of running copy paste-waves and the interesting information.
