So much spam going on it's really annoying, would be good if there was a command to disable global chat and receive only chat from players on your island.

 

I really don't see this happening
Also, you can disable chat in your multiplayer settings
Sorry no support for this

 

Your pain... I feel it sir. I too strain to watch the endless spam fly by, ignoring fifty lines of "Pretty Princess" skin competitions for that precious moment of actual communication. Thankfully, I have a solution for you.

Type /buy and an inventory screen will appear. Click on any "chest", then click once more on any other "chest". Your chat will stop. You'll still be able to send and receive messages, see vote/Vote Party announcements and all server-wide broadcasts. But the stinking horde of shrieking, ADHD-afflicted howler monkeys will be choked off harder than Taylor Swift when Kanye West jumped on stage.

Good luck.

 

Add a plugin when you can already hide chat in your Chat Settings? Seems Unnecessary, but I feel you, you can always feel free to /msg your friends or make a skype.
No Support. Sorry this is more of a feature than an actual good use for the server.

 

I was just going to say that. xD

No support, not needed.

 

Well that works great for stopping ALL chat. However I really would enjoy a command to stop all chat from non-donors...

 

I'd say a percentage of them spam, but not all of 'em.

 

But the percentage of non-donors that are spamming completely jam the chat log. It's the Pareto Principal in action: 80% of the chat spam comes from 20% of the players advertising their scammy skin-comp/banner-shops.

I don't even have general chat enabled; the second I log on I type /buy and kill the chat spam. If I need you (or you need me) we will speak in /msg.

 

You can type /buy and select any package and it will mute your chat. Type /ec to turn it back on.

Or

You can disable it in your multiplayer settings.

 

After repeated firehose-like spam directly to the eyeballs we did give the "Multiplayer settings" thing a try. The problem is you can't get personal messages and lose the server announcements about items being cleared/etc.

The /buy command ended up being the best solution we could find. Meh.
