West wind

A west wind is a wind that blows from the west, in an eastward direction. In Western tradition, it has usually been considered the mildest and most favorable of the directional winds. In Greek mythology, Zephyrus was the personification of the west wind and the bringer of light spring and early summer breezes; his Roman equivalent was Favonius. In the myth of Cupid and Psyche, Zephyrus was the attendant of Cupid, who brought Psyche to his master's palace. Geoffrey Chaucer wrote of the "swete breth" of Zephyrus, and a soft, gentle breeze may be referred to as a zephyr, as in Shakespeare's Cymbeline...

Already implemented partly.

user259867

How?

Vogel612's Shadow

flags usually are contained to the room they are raised in before being propagated

since mods often hang around in the chatrooms... well ;)

also because chat is so fast it's not really useful to constrain to site-specific chat..

because old chat flags are more or less useless..

the point of a chat-flag is fast removal of offensive messages.

and if the flag just borks around in some queue that's not given
