Request Alliance Spam

Apr 18, 2003 03:46 Request Alliance Spam
I'm glad that the "allow alliance request" option works now but a new problem has cropped up: the "you have rejected alliace request from player2" message spam. Suppose a player spam requests you but since you have the option unchecked, you don't get the dialog box but you do get the message scrolling across the newswire countless times.

Would there be a way to stop this message from scrolling across the newswire in such cases? Like, all the requests made within a certain time frame (say 3 seconds or so) only counts as one request and, therefore, the message is only spammed every 3 seconds?

If you were to turn off Network Status messages from the WinBolo menu, you will not see these messages.

You could always just use minborg to see messages from people. Hey Min, when you gonna enhance minborg to add the option of viewing other messages of importance?

Minborg doesn't show events that happened on Newswire, only player messages, which is what I want to see instead of "HEY PPLZ JOIN MY NEW GAEM EVERARD HEY PPLZ JOIN MY NEW GAEM EVERARD HEY PPLZ JOIN MY NEW GAEM EVERARD HEY PPLZ JOIN MY NEW GAEM EVERARD"

Well next time join my new gaem everard and I won't have to repeat myself! Heh, I'm just sayin minborg needs to have lotsa cool options like "display newswire messages" if you want, since it's easier to view it there when refueling than when you're busy and might miss a big event. I would also like to see an option in minborg to send a "WTF ARE YOU DOING MAXX YOU IDIOT!?!?" message by pressing a hotkey.
