It would be extremely helpful to have the option to make my computer "ding" whenever someone says something in chat (or when you say something in chat). That way, I could do homework, but have my attention called to me when something happens. (For example.)
In my opinion, these links should be removed for detrimental items such as these (Sewage schnapps, Ooze-O, Unfortunate dumplings, C.H.U.M. chum) in order to prevent users from accidentally clicking on them. This happened to me, and I had to use a melange in order to clear it up.
