Ability to ignore a guild.

Jul 20, 2025 Renaar link
Would it be possible to have the ability to ignore an entire guild, please?

Some of us play on multiple devices and some guilds broadcast messages often with multiple alt names making the ability to ignore all of them difficult. You could ignore one character of this particular guild, and you see the same useless broacast on another name later. Then factor in that you have to re-igonore all those players across different devices again because your ignore list is client-based.

They also simultaneously broadcast to 100 and the system chat of various major systems like Dau, Itan, Latos, etc. I always see it at least twice at the same time, so +1.

[#OSS] broadcasting policy is once per game cycle on channel 100 and system chat for Dau, Itan, Sol II, and Latos.

The broadcast being:

“channel 419: radio free UIT. For travel advisories, pilot assistance, and free starter gear. type: /j 419 and hail an [#OSS] pilot”

The term “game cycle” being defined as any one period where an [#OSS] pilot is logged in.

Any other broadcasts are restricted to channel 419, with exceptions made to system chat during peak game play times. As well as “wc” corrections for unintentional broadcasts on system chat. Any accidental broadcasts are followed by “wc,” given the 30 second delay. If these protocols are excessive, please consider this reply an amendment to the original post to include greyshop and classibot.

As for any ignore list, please ignore the following:

Oston-Wa Basha
Esandis Isunala
Rakota Odanolen
Bromine-Bo Basha

or having the ability via the api to fetch the guild tag for a player who isnt local to you.. ie, a chat event.. i think most character data is currently limited to people in sector with you? not sure..

either way then we could just write our own. which i have, but it doesnt work (yet) hehe

bots in every major system is a bit much and can have other purposes, regardless of frequency..

It's already possible via the API and more-or-less as you suggest, ScotiaKnight. Someone could just take one of the IgnoreIRC plugins and adapt it to do the same for a guild. The hardest part would be writing the interface

Event: CHAT_MSG_CHANNEL_ACTIVE - Data:
         1: (table) channelid = 100,faction = 3,guildtag = "VPR",msg = "Additional prizes are available at higher ranks",name = "Phaserlight"
