Critical Large volumes of repeated messages break the chat window, forcing a hard reconnect

[Noah Buttes]

Part of the issue may be that all the skating-related messages are different, and don't "stack" like repeated farts, etc.
You could also disabled/throttle messages at a certain threshold, because this makes chat relatively unusable.

Actually, the entire reason this happens is because the skateboard messages *do* stack.

Something in the chat message stacking system is causing this since I have been able to reproduce this same issue with examine messages and chemistry reactions.

In fact, it seems that all stacked messages cause a permanent one-line reduction in chat log length. Normally this is unnoticeable, but the aforementioned extreme scenarios bring the issue to the forefront.
