Speed chat or speech to text

I'd like to see an option to store maybe a dozen or so phrases you use often, which can be clicked on to put into the current chat window, without you having to type them in each time - or at least with minimum of typing needed if you want to change it slightly for the current need. For those of us slower typers! Preferably ones you can define yourself, although some stock ones would be good too. Would need something around it to prevent use by chat "want to sell" spammers etc. though. Alternatively, some system that will convert spoken text to a line of chat.

Most games have you press a button like V or Z to open up a menu, and that's where you choose your phrases. Also some other games use the number pad for the quick phrases.
Not many people use them, but heck

SHAZBOT to the max!

Hah...

Prevent the spammers using it?

You're suggesting the implementation of a PERFECT spamming tool... and you expect the spammers not to use it.

Lets explain a little something:
"WTS" and "WTB" have been filtered out from Local chat beginning windows. You know how the spammers bypassed it? By spacing between them. It doesn't matter how many preventative measures are put into place, the spamwh0res can easily bypass the filters....

And what you're basically suggesting is handing it to them on a silver platter...

No. Thank. You.

My advice: Learn to type faster. Take up the piano... that'll do it. I played the piano for 10 years and my typing speed frankly shocks some people.

Don't we already have this wtf?

In towns this would encourage useless spamming.
In games this is pointless. www.ventrilo.com

Let me rephrase the post I made above:

We already have this, *****


EDIT: Edited for flaming. - Swampgirl

I like this idea, and there's an easy way to keep it from being used by spammers: only allow it to be used outside towns.

3. No Flaming/Trolling

Flaming is the act of posting messages that are deliberately hostile and insulting. A troll is a person who posts inflammatory messages intended to cause a disruption in discourse and to provoke other members into hostility.

We encourage discussion and healthy debate, and personal attacks are not warranted in either. If you cannot be respectful to others, then don't be surprised if those in charge are not respectful of your continued privilege to post.

The posting of Private Messages between users or a user and moderator will result in a ban.






Just because you disagree with the suggestion, doesn't mean you get to take it out on the poster. Either state your reason for the "/unsigned" in a respectful manner, or don't post.

1.) This isn't a suggestion, it's already in the game
2.) I'm cracking up because you took the time to remove the word, "noobs"



EDIT:
1.) You said that already.
2.) Commenting on moderator actions in public is also against the Forum Rules. Please contact an admin if you have issues with any moderator action.
