'''BATTLESPAM NOBATTLESPAM SPAM'''
[[Category:Help Files]]

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.
