Flashlight clicking should have cooldown, so people can't spam it for BM

Playing as a killer and dealing with Flashlights is annoying, when people use it to taunt and BM. Recently had a PC player that made "click" sound multiple times in a second.

Flashlights should have a cooldown when you turn it on, for example 1 second, before you can turn it off again. Think about real life, do you have a flashlight that needs contstantly to be pressed? I doubt you have. Instead once you press it ON, it stays on.


(Similar actions could be made to T-bagging (crouch). If there was an animation of 1 sec, or maybe more, people could not spam it.)


TL:DR; Using Flashlight should have cooldown (1 sec) before you can turn it off again. This is to stop Bad Manners clicking and taunting, and it would make more sense when compared to real life. Same with crouch (T-bag). Having longer animation would made T-bagging impossible.
