+# mod_muc_slow_mode
+
+This module is a custom module that allows slow mode for MUC rooms.
+
+This module is under AGPL-3.0 license.
+
+There will probably be a XEP proposal for this module behaviour.
+
+## Slow mode definition
+
+There are some contexts in which you want to be able to rate limit MUC messages. This could have multiple motivations: avoid flooding, garantee a better readability of the room when there are hundreds of active users, …
+
+This module propose a new option for MUC rooms, allowing room owners to fix a duration that users must wait between two messages.
+
+There is a draft XEP for this feature, that you can find here: https://github.com/JohnXLivingston/xeps/blob/xep-slow-mode/xep-slow-mode.xml
+
+There is a more human-readable version of this XEP here: https://livingston.frama.io/peertube-plugin-livechat/technical/slow_mode/
+
+## Configuration
+
+Just enable the module on your MUC component.
+The feature will be accessible throught the room configuration form.
+
+Depending on your application, it is possible that the slow mode is more important than other fields (for example for a video streaming service).
+The position in the room config form can be changed be setting the option `slow_mode_duration_form_position`.
+This value will be passed as priority for the "muc-config-form" hook.
+By default, the field will be between muc#roomconfig_changesubject and muc#roomconfig_moderatedroom.
+
+``` lua
+VirtualHost "muc.example.com"
+  modules_enabled = { "muc_slow_mode" }
+  slow_mode_duration_form_position = 96
+```
