    Change /LFG etc chat timer to 1 min or more. 30 seconds is not long enough.. for some.

    Just like it says.. This would cut down on the massive spam and also help with server lag issues.

    This is my suggestion

    This opinion is technical.

    You may think LFG hogs bandwidth, however, doing a few tests, here is my output.

    Each message has about 50 byes of raw data being transmitted, on average.

    Let's estimate we'll have 500 players on at any given time, so 50 x 500 = 25,000 byes. That's 25kb.

    Let's say this server is capable of around at least 25mb/sec.

    You'll be needing 2,000 messages a second if that's going to hog up a business, no, Gaming server network.

    Now if the LFG chat leaks, it's one thing, but network usage is something entirely different.

    Now, keep in mind, these are estimations, it's purely designed to "draw the box" for you.

    The global chat in all games are spammed. You can turn it off, and if what you need to broadcast there is important, it will be seen.
