The XMPP Extensions Editor has received a proposal for a new XEP.
Title: MUC Slow Mode
Abstract:
This specification describes a way to rate limit messages a single
user can send to a MUC room. It includes room configuration option,
and how servers and clients can handle such a feature.
URL: https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/xep-slow-mode.html
The Council will decide in the next two weeks whether to accept this
proposal as an official XEP.

A rate limit configuration field, but with no support for burst, etc, and
the spec even explicitly says you must not allow bursts? Shouldn't that be
configurable if we're making new configuration fields?
I would suggest to check this existing implementation
https://modules.prosody.im/mod_muc_limits.html for the kinds of things that
one might want to be able to configure.

"The enemy of the good XEP is the dream of the perfect one".
I think this is a great start point. I was more concerned with the lack of
an application specific error element, but that can be sorted in
Experimental too.

Hello,
Maybe that was unclear, but they are many differences between my slow
mode XEP, and what mod_muc_limits can do.
TL;DR:
See https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/xep-slow-mode.html#usecases
I'm using an implementation of this XEP to provide a chat in Peertube
live streams. This provide a slow mode similar to the one existing on
Twitch for example.
Here are some differences:
* mod_muc_limits is configurable by server admins, slow mode is
configurable by MUC owners
* slow mode is configurable room by room, mod_muc_limits is server wide
* slow mode parameter can be changed in live, without any server reload
* slow mode limits the number of text message user by user,
mod_muc_limits limits all kind of messages
* ...
So, there is no need for burst parameters. As the limitation is user by
user.
If you want a demo, i have set a slow mode of 2 seconds here:
https://videos.john-livingston.fr/w/qqNQwFDerUB1KnFA6N6Jbi
(in real life situations, it would more be something like 30 seconds)
You can join the same test room with your XMPP client here:
xmpp:c5d20adf-1088-4d40-bbfc-1abb42d20b05@room.videos.john-livingston.fr?join

limitation is user by
user.
I don't think this follows. Users often will send for example two messages
right in a row which are effectively one message. An admin may wish to allow
this kind of short burst even for per-jid limits.
There's also a question of if this should interact with affiliation. Perhaps
a setting to allow admins to exempt members from the rate limit.

One reasoning I could think is that it is easy to game the system around
burst. And making slow mode as simple as possible makes the attack
surface smaller.
(stuff like this has been extensively tested by streamers during hate
raids, spam attacks and the likes.)

For context this is not what happens currently in any other streaming
platform afaik.
Twitch, Youtube, etc.
When you slow down the chat, you slow down everybody. I imagine not
slowing down members is not useful in this situation also because there
may be thousands of members.

Some Twitch channel can define "VIP" users, that are not subject to
certain rules. I thinks VIP are not affected by the slow mode.
Such option seems a good idea. (the member affiliation could be used as
an equivalent to the VIP status)

Sure but we're talking about standardizing configuration fields for MUC rate
limits. It shouldn't just be as simple as "this is the feature twitch has".
Of course that use case should e considered, but so should others (such as
the antispam / antiflood use case)

Hello,
thank you for your contribution! This is a useful feature and we can
appreciate the effort put in this protoXEP.
I've a few small remarks regarding this specification:
- Glossary redefines many terms from XEP-0045. There is no need for that, it
makes the specification more difficult to read, and it duplicates information.
Just add a note to reference XEP-0045.
- In https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/xep-slow-mode.html#example-1 there is a
confusion between label and description. Label should be a simple "Slow Mode",
and <desc> should be used for the description (cf. https://xmpp.org/
extensions/xep-0004.html#protocol-field). It's just an example, but if
developer copy it, it will result in bad UX for end-users.
- The topic "Client Handling" is missing an anchor, resulting in ugly URL such
as https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/xep-slow-mode.html#sect-idm46190554600112
.
- At https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/xep-slow-mode.html#sect-idm46190554660208 (anchor
is missing here too), those 2 lines contradict
themselves:
This field SHOULD use Data Forms Validation , having
its datatype equal to '
xs:integer'.
The 'value' of the field MUST be a positive integer, so you MUST add a
'range' validation, as described in Data Forms Validation (XEP-0122) [3].
You say that Data Forms Validation is a "SHOULD", but below that you
"MUST"
add a "range" validation. You need either 2 SHOULD or 2 MUST.
- In the same section the link to "client-discovering" is incorrect and
results in a 404.
Best,
Goffi

I made a PR with the requested modifications:

Some notes beneath:
- Glossary redefines many terms from XEP-0045. There
is no need for that, it
makes the specification more difficult to read, and it duplicates information.
Just add a note to reference XEP-0045.
I added a paragraph in the Glossary section, saying:
Many terms used in this XEP are defined in
&xep0045; and &xep0128;. Please refer to these XEP for more informations.
Is this correct?
Or is this redundant with the <dependencies> section?
- In
https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/xep-slow-mode.html#example-1 there is a

and <desc> should be used for the description (cf. https://xmpp.org/

Right.
I tested it so in my first implementation, but it did not work at the
time...
It was ConverseJS that was ignoring the <desc> child node.
This was fixed in ConverseJS, but i forgot to change my implementation
(and the xep).
Thanks!
Other points were fixed.

Hi John,
congrats on your first XEP and for managing to get XEP number 500!

There has already been some feedback wrt error elements and the
specifics on the form field.
Please try to incorporate the feedback. You can create PRs against the
xep-0500.xml in the repo and the Editor will merge them ASAP.
cheers

Hello Daniel,
I saw the feedbacks (and the discussion during the XMPP council).
I will incorporate them next week!
Thanks a lot.
