Usage: change spam [field] [on|off]

Spam is a familiar problem with net-traffic and depending upon your situation in the game, can be disabling or overwhelming, especially for new players during combat or moving in groups.

To combat this, you can use change spam to tweak NoSpam settings. We strongly encourage everyone to use these settings to reduce text volume and keep the screen manageable.

To see your current settings:

text

change spam

To enable or disable a setting:

text

change spam <field> [on|off]

Where <field> can be one of:

all: Enable all spam fields.
none: Disable all spam fields.
alias: Won't show alias substitutions.
description: Won't show room descriptions on look. (Note: Unless you are very familiar with the area, it is not advisable to hide descriptions as vital hints may be missed!)
detect: Won't show the auras of objects and people in a room and on worn equipment. Sanctuary is always shown due to its gameplay implications.
fight: Missed fight messages are not sent except for the first attack. Highly recommended during fast-paced combat!
group: While moving with a group, you will only see the leader move (the one you are following) rather than every entrance and exit of all group members.
language: Won't show you what language other people are speaking (provided you don't know it well enough).
mount: Won't show ridden mounts in a room (since they are already shown with their rider description).
speech: Won't show your own speech.
weapon: Won't show wielded weapons in a room.

Quick Tip

When you use the command examine, you will always see the full description of a room, ridden mounts, and wielded weapons regardless of your change spam settings.
