Update v0.8.3.024 - Login requirement to chat in public rooms

Starting with this update, guests will no longer be able to chat in public rooms (private rooms remain unaffected).

This change was done in an attempt to give you a safer and more enjoyable environment to play your poker games in. We've tried keeping the chat open as long as possible, but unfortunately with no login requirement, it is too easy for any abusers/spammers to get around any limitations, bans etc. And we have received a lot of complaints on the bad state of chat sometimes.

We have some other changes lined up and coming soon to give you a better experience, while keeping our games as accessible and quick to hop in as possible!

For now, this login requirement will be undergoing a weekly test, before we decide if it will remain a permanent change. If you have any problems with this change, or if you find the chat to be massively improved now - we'd love to hear from you, either through our support tickets or on our Discord!
