BATTLESPAM NOBATTLESPAM SPAM
Spam is generally defined as repeated actions, usually with the intention of
annoying people. There are for instance morons, who like to log on to a Mud
just to spam the channels with obscenities, racial slurs or sometimes just
advertisements for another Mud. (This is the reason why level 1 players can't
gossip much, since there is not always an imm online to stop this kind of
nuisance).
But there are things that cause irritating spam without the intent of being
annoying. Just a player getting all his potions from his bag could spam you
out of the screen. The gossip channel can be quite spammy, when there are
many players online and they all feel talkative. (This is the reason why most
open channels can be TOGGLED on and off. If some player is spamming you with
annoying tells, you also have the option to IGNORE <player>).
Finally, anyone who has fought a tough mob knows how spammy the fight messages
can be. There is however a remedy for that too: toggle NoBattlespam. This will
also stop you from seeing other people's title.
Apart from that: try to be a bit considerate. If you are going to check all
the pills in your bag, don't do it in a crowded room like Recall. Don't spam
people with repeating the same social over and over again.
As always - use your own common sense.
