   @devpedrobarbosa check if rules dont have a suitable operator such as delay and how it works, bc i think this was already resolved two years ago somehow. thank you!

   As @kangarko suspected, there's already an operator that will most likely fix your issue.

   Try adding player delay X seconds to your message and let me know if it works.

   @kangobot can you ultrathink and scan the operators whether what we suggested is right and suggest the correct one?

   The suggestion of player delay is correct and is the best fit for this use case. Here's the full picture:

   There are two delay operators available in message files (including join.rs and quit.rs):

   Operator	Scope	Effect
   delay 10 seconds	Global — all players share one cooldown	No join/quit message appears for anyone until 10s after the last one fired
   player delay 10 seconds	Per-player — each player has their own cooldown	A specific player's join/quit message is suppressed if they rejoin within 10s, but other players' messages still show normally

   For the reported issue (a single player reconnecting repeatedly due to lag), player delay is the correct operator — it silences repeated messages from the same player without hiding other players' joins/quits.

   Example in join.rs:

   group default
   player delay 10 seconds
   message:
   - <gray>{player} <white>joined the server
   

   And the same in quit.rs:

   group default
   player delay 10 seconds
   message:
   - <gray>{player} <white>left the server
   

   So the earlier suggestion was spot on. ✅
