slow mode
Delayed messaging setting
Slow mode is a setting on messaging platforms and chat rooms that limits how often users can post, typically requiring a wait of several seconds or minutes between messages.
Moderators enable it to prevent spam, reduce chaos during high-traffic moments, or cool down heated discussions: The streamer turned on slow mode when chat got out of control.
