I would like an option to filter out all vote casting in lobby chat, like !y !n !vote 1 etc.

I already see the amount of votes on the UI, it just makes people spam the vote button for funny chat spam.

Maybe votes should be anonymous after all.

I don't really care about whether they are anonymous. I just don't want voting buttons to be such an easy source of chat spam. People just go ham on the button and then the entire lobby is just votes from the same 2-3 people repeating forever.

Any post game discussion is dead.

Maybe even simpler to implement, chat should just not show repeated messages (same user/same content) - this of course would not prevent everything, but still.

That's a good idea, but it should only prevent players from saying the same thing within the same 30 seconds or a minute lets say, because I find it very annoying when 3 hours ago I said "hello!" and I can never say it again until the next time I get on.

I was thinking repeated messages in the output, not for a specific player. This would make possible to spam if two players press !y continuously - you would see player A, yes, player B, yes, player A yes, player B, yes, etc. but having 2 spammers coordinate is a bit harder...

Taking time into account would indeed solve some problems, but might make implementation more complex (not sure if timestamp is stored, how long is it kept etc.). By comparison, storing previous message and comparing with next message to be printed sounds fairly easy.
