feature request: mute a user in chat. (maybe /quiet /unquiet)
/mute turns off the microphone, which is actually confusing for a user that doesn't have microphone privileges, because the way they talk is in the chat, yet they aren't muted.
Yes, that's something that's needed on occasion. The natural way would be to encode permission to chat as a new permission, but that would break compatibility with existing tokens. So that probably means we need to introduce the notion of a negative permission — a permission called, say nomessage that prevents the user from posting chat messages.
I don't think it creates any security issues, but I'll need to think it over.
Done in 1315084185cdb262e60c3856394e39123e05ae98. I finally decided to add an explicit permission "message", and a hack tha adds the permission to tokens aread from disk.
Thank you! We used Galène this weekend for LibrePlanet 2024's remote Neptune track. We have not done a full debrief yet, but it seemed to be a success.
Excellent. Please send your experience report to [email protected], since I prefer to limit the use of Github issues.
