I don't want to enable unlimited or multi-whispers. I guess running the quiz bot only in a single team or a separate server defeats the whole purpose of running it inside a game. We could add name-based mutes in the client, but then I'm afraid that people will forget that they muted someone and in the end half the people can't read what the other half say on a server. So I don't really see a good solution.

Different chat-channels could be nice idea, but i guess it would be pretty much pain in ass to code them, and also i guess it wouldn't be compatible with vanilla somehow...

For me, if players are annoyed just mustn't play with quizbot
Some peoples like me love this bot, why should we put it offline? We haven't only to think about who hate him but even at who love him!

Maybe you could make it whisper only to the players who have joined the quiz (none by default), after it joined and displayed a small message about how to join the quiz?

I'd suggest to read previous posts first...
