BRIEF, CHANGE BRIEF, CHANGE SPAM, SPAM

Spam is a familiar problem with net-traffic and depending upon your situation in the game, can be totally disabling. To combat this you can use change spam to tweak settings. We fully encourage everyone to use these settings.

(These settings used to be available as change brief.)

What it does

To see your current settings:

  > change spam

To change a setting:

  > change spam <field> [on|off]

where <field> can be one of:

all	Enable all spam fields.
none	Disable all spam fields.
speech	Won't show your own speech.
description	Won't show room descriptions on `look`. Unless you are very familiar with the area in which you travel, however, it is not advisable to use this command. Frequently, you will find small, but vital hints in the descriptions of the rooms. More attention to your surroundings could mean the difference between life and death!
fight	Missed fight messages are not sent except the message of the first attack.
group	While moving with your group, you will only see the leader move (the one you are following) not the entrances/leaves of all the group.
language	Won't show you what language other people are speaking, provided that they aren't speaking the same language as you and that you know the language being spoken well enough.
mount	Won't show ridden mounts in a room (since they are already shown with their rider description).
weapon	Won't show wielded weapons in a room.
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.
alias	Won't show alias substitutions.

Note: When you use the command examine, you always see the description of a room, ridden mounts, and wielded weapons (with or without "spam" settings).
