Fix for general chat should be L2362-3 on routes/socket/user-events.js

data.chat = data.chat.trim(); if (data.chat.length > 300 || !data.chat.length) return;

I'm working on this

Is this finished?

[Vigasaurus]

As far as I know, no. @Jodastt would know better though.

@Vigasaurus my apoligies, the school district blocked secret hitler and asked me to stop doing this with school computers (I don't have access to other computers and for development for another several months) and was unable to complete it.

Would this work? -> routes/socket/user-events.js
if (!game || !game.general || !data.chat || !data.chat.replace(/\s*(\*|~|_){2,4}\s*|\s*\*\s*/i, '').length) return;
(or even if (!game || !game.general || !data.chat || !data.chat.replace(/\s*(\*|~|_){2,4}\s*|\s*\*\s*/i, '')) return;)

I'd give it a solid maybe - feel free to PR and we'll get it tested/reviewed.
