Slow mode accelerator

[theetrain]

Why

Experiment with multi-topic channels, and allow users to self-govern when threads open; coerced by slow mode.

How

• Set a channel message rate threshold, and automatically adjust slow mode speeds

Example

Slow mode	Toggled when	Deactivated when
15 seconds	5 messages are sent by 1 unique user within 60 seconds	30 minutes pass
30 seconds	10 messages are sent by 3 unique users within 5 minutes	30 minutes pass

Alternatives

Have Svelte bot open threads for every new message after slow mode toggles to something big like '1 message per 10 minutes'.

A simplistic version of this could be a slow mode schedule based on human-determined "busy hours". For example: beween 9AM UTC to 1PM UTC, set slow mode to 30 seconds. Outside those hours, disable slow mode.

Example, at 9AM UTC:

1. tech-chat and non-tech-chat engaging in 30-second slow mode
2. Svelte Bot posts to affected channels: "Slow mode has been activated until <discordtimestamp>. To chat faster, open a thread!"

And then at 1PM UTC:

1. tech-chat and non-tech-chat disable slow mode
2. Svelte Bot posts "Slow mode has been deactivated until <discordtimestamp>.
