If chat rooms won't ever be fully featured, why not have an API that is able to relay the messages to Discord or have enough information to make a more customisable chat room?

Would like to know the following as new messages are sent:
player link
player name
player color
when the message was sent
message content - ideally raw data instead of html. like if its a plain message or posting to a forum thread

would also like to know if/when a timeout happens and on which player
