Multiple messages from the same person have increased overhead, as they display the user name multiple times. To reduce overhead and declutter the chat, followup messages from the same user could ommit the user name, while signifying the separate arrival through an alternating background color (very light grey - similar to original chat background). Every second message arriving from the same user in a row could be given this separate color.
If combined with the feature request for blocked time stamps, messages arriving in different time blocks can still ommit the name, but restart the sequence of alternating backgrounds.
This feature will ultimately clean up the clutter in the chat, while allowing more information in the same space. This feature would be strictly client side.
