Well, I think the chat is set in slow mode, so you can only send a command once every 30 seconds.
I tried to implement a voting algorithm on the Dark Souls stream I did today, but I didn't have enough people for it to work. The idea was to have up to 10 actions queued at any given time, and requiring each action to have been voted on N number of times before it is queued. Eventually I just removed the voting and let people control directly, since it was going to slow with the 50-100 or so people we had.
