Ignore & the Profanity Filter

Sometimes people are mean on the internet. Two tools put your ears under your own control — both are
your settings, affecting only what you see; nobody else's game changes.

/ignore — stop hearing someone

/ignore <name>       you no longer hear them -- at all
/unignore <name>     undo it
/ignorelist          who you're ignoring (and how many of your 50 slots are used)

Ignore works on the whole account, not just the one character: ignore JohnDoe and his alts are
silenced for you too, including characters he makes next week. Your list also follows your account
across all your own characters — set it once.

What an ignored player can no longer reach you with:

• Chat — their lines on the public, team, guild, friend and ghost channels simply don't arrive
  for you. Everyone else still hears them normally.
• Whispers — never delivered. The sender is told "NAME is not receiving your messages." (at
  most once every few minutes, so they can't farm the reply).
• Requests — trade windows, team invites and applies, duel challenges, marriage proposals and
  friend requests from them never pop on your screen.

A GM always reaches you — moderation can't be ignored, on purpose.

/filter — mask profanity in your incoming chat

/filter on           listed words in player chat arrive as **** for you
/filter off          chat arrives as typed
/filter              shows your current setting

The filter is per-character, off by default, and masks only what players type — quest text, NPCs
and system messages are curated content and pass through untouched.

Honesty about what it is: a curated word list with whole-word matching. It will not catch
creative spellings, and it is not meant to — chasing every variant is an arms race the list would
lose. For the person behind the words, use /ignore; for behaviour a GM should see, use
/report <name> <reason>.
