[Suggestion] A tag to signify that someone is posting a time/date, that is then adjusted to match the user's local timezone
I'll admit that this feature would probably have a pretty minor impact, seeing as we've had decades to get used to posting things like "event starts at xx:xxXM timezone", or "event starts in x hours", but if we had a time tag, it might reduce occasional timezone confusion when coordinating events.
For example, user A posts "Stream starts at !time18:30!", and user B sees "Stream starts at 7:30PM", using their local timezone settings.

Its a good idea but if someone wants to say "18:30" it will always be converted into your timezone leaving messaging times, into a mess.

If I'm reading your response right (hope so), that's why I want it as a tag, rather than some always-on thing. It's surely possible throw a regex at just looking for time-like blocks of text to mangle, but then it'd break all sorts of things. With a tag, you can limit it to just the cases where you want this to happen.
If there wasn't some visual element to show that a time had been auto-converted, then I could also see some confusion coming from that. It'd be jarring to see someone posting the same apparent timezone a few times and then forget the tags.
