So, what about allowing people to [s]only[/s] use predetermined labels? "Please use this", "Don't make defences (here)", "Grids need to be connected", "Attack here"... You get the idea.

I got the idea from DotA 2 (although I doubt it was invented there): It has a "Chat wheel" functionality, you hold a button and then select one of 8 options via mouse movement (like gesture menu), which triggers a certain chat message. You can customize it to 8 phrases of your choice out of a list (although I doubt we'd need that many to start with).

The point is that they would be easier and faster to use than typing the labels by hand (which, for most people, means taking your hand off the mouse), while we can easily make sure they are friendly (or at least not rage-y).

For "exotic" situations (or as observers) you could still do manual labeling.

Unless you prevent it, people still can (and will) spam map markers at one thing for emphasis, but at least making sure that there's less rage-filled labels because using the friendly/neutral ones is more convenient sounds like a plan to me.
