Single post in Chat Suggestion

Suggestion Title: IM Style Chat Pinging Suggestion Summary: Allowing an option to toggle pings to occur anytime a message is posted, and not just with specified terms. The pings could be muted via a disable feature, either in the chat itself or with consideration of the busy status. Possiblity to have Desktop Notifications, blinking tabs... etc. Obviously it would only work if the tab is open. Positive points: Allows chat to be more instant, increasing sense of community. Prevents checking the chat over and over again to have no one messaging. Negative points: May annoy people if many people are actively in the chat [10+]. Reason For Consideration: I believe the original purpose of the chat was to increase communication with the users between each other and allow staff to also communicate with users in a new way, strengthening the interity of the site. However, the issue with the current chat system is unless you have terms, like your name, set (and even then, if no one uses your name/term but is talking to you), it is very inconveinent to find out if messages were said and to respond in a timely manner. Allowing pings that are able to be disabled allows people who want to be more active in chat while also doing other site activities (clicking, hatching, posting... etc.), but also giving them the ability to turn it off during high activity moments.
