Man, I hate when a flag shows up on chat, I click on it, I figure out the context, I click invalid or valid, and then it says "you can only counterflag a flagged message" or something like that.

Q: Add the ability to hide text in chat

A spoiler 'tag' to hide text for questions and answers was added back in December (>!), however, Stack Exchange has yet to add anything similar to chat. Considering chat conversations can lead just about anywhere, a feature to hide text in chat would be very useful. I propose a system very simi...

@GnomeSliceツ What kind of vote?

30 votes unless you've also been voting on questions, in which you can get up to 40. Unless you mean stars, in which case it is either 15 or 30, whichever one is correct.

GnomeSlice ツ

@ArdaXi Stars.

Arda Xi

@GraceNote I believe it leans toward the upper bound.

I don't think I've used 30 stars today...

Grace Note

I'd think so, too, but I figure, why take a chance at being wrong when you can just specify the correct answer?

Arda Xi

@GraceNote Well, technically, you are at least wrong.

Since it can't be both at the same time, one of those is wrong, and are both given as possible values for the same variable.

You have to repair it each day, or it blows up your town.

I wouldn't just delete the answer since some people may have heard how you can do X when X is out dated. If you keep your answer visitors will see that it used to be part of the game, so it was removed, instead of searching for something which no longer exists.
