I'm not asking for a muting or silence plug-in. I want a plug-in so users can ignore/unignore other users. Basically: They can't see any messages from the person until they're unblocked. (If the user decides to unblock them.) This way, if someone is bothering someone and no mod/admin is online to mute them, they can just block the person's chat. It doesn't mute the person, but it's a safe command for players to use because it doesn't. Since it only stops users from receiving messages from someone. Would be appreciated. (Should admins have an override on being blocked?)
I am pretty sure Herochat does this with /ch ignore <name>. I could be wrong, he only stated that you will "ignore" them, and never said you can't see what they say, but considering its only a chat program I think its safe to bet it can do what you are asking. Anyway, I just thought I would say that.. so.. yeah lol I hope it works out for you.
I'm not interested in Herochat, but I'll look into that. I'd still prefer this is as a stand-alone plug-in or part of a muting/silencing plug-in though.
There is a client-side fix. http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/123409-v166-wdmods-creepers-sneak-and-chat/ Simply install Improved Chat, and type in a few simple regular expressions, starting with: ~ignore \bPlayerName\b A few options for unignoring the player. You can edit them out of your ignore list in the XML file generated, or track them in a seperate ignorelist. ~tab Ignored ~track \bPlayerName\b For a third, unimpeded tab you can easily swap to, ~tab All ~track ^ And finally, to switch between tabs: ~bind b ~move tab 0 2 That's about as simple as it gets, and it's entirely client side. I use three tabs - Default - normal chat minus ignored people and much of the generated chatter about them. Msg, for private/team, and All, unfiltered. Hit B and you swap to the next tab in sequence, allowing you to easily ignore trolls while not blinding yourself to chat that you don't want to miss in a PVP situation. Also defeats chat spammers in a few short taps of the keyboard, while allowing you and your team to get on with things. Regular expressions can be used for responding to whoever messaged you with a single keypress, as explained in the mod docs, auto logging coordinates, making your name neon blue, and whatever you can be bothered programming it to do.
