Ignore Script -- Now Available!
by Mark McCoy · in ThinkTanks · 01/07/2004 (10:01 pm) · 28 replies
The long awaited /ignore script is now ready for download. 
This was planned addition to the ThinkTanks 1.2 update. But the recent rash of malcontents has accelerated the deployment of this feature. It has been tested extensively, but may not be 100%. Consider it to be a very late beta. Please report bugs if you find them. Use it and spread the word.
Once you ignore someone you will not be able to see their chat. You will still see others yelling at them though, so spread the word so everyone can ignore them. Hopefully, a yutz being greeted by "has put Ann0y1ngYutz on /IGNORE." from several players will send the message about what people won't put up with in ThinkTanks.
Script and instructions for OSX.
Script and instructions for Windows.
Usage Instructions:
- In the chat box type /ignore or /i followed by enough of the player's name to make it unique to toggle the ignore feature.
Example: Assuming you want to ignore the chat from "Ann0y1ngYutz." Type: /i yutz or /ignore ann0
- Push the i key to bring up a chat box already filled with "/ignore"
- Push CTRL + i to cycle through the names of the players in the game.
- To allow that person's chat again, use /ignore or /i and their name again.
- A person will remain ignored until you quit ThinkTanks or unignore them.

The problem with the old version is that you have to be able to type a person's name properly from the beginning. If a guy named ł˝ was playing it was tough to ignore him. With the new version you can hit ctrl + i and cycle through the names until you find the right one prefilled out in the chat box ready to be ignored. :D
If enough people start using this, attention seeking chat trolls will be out of an audience. Also it will send a message to new users about what people put up with in TT. So spread the word, get folks to use it.
No, it does not *solve* the problem. But it is one of the steps in the right direction. And it is something that we can do right now.

For those of you who have the old version, I recommend getting the new version anyway.The problem with the old version is that you have to be able to type a person's name properly from the beginning.

Filbert I have asked you to quit talking about the old ^ negatively. You promised to stop, yet here you are bashing the old me again. You need to grow up and learn when to stop. I don't think anyone wants to see me rear my ugly old self. If you do not quit referring to the old ^ I will rain down my wrath upon you.

@Filbert: This is just one part of the 1.2 update. 1.2 as a whole is not ready yet. :)
