And another... an "ignore" command, which works like #gag in tintin...
% Bubba leers at you.
% say Cut it out
You say 'Cut it out'
% Bubba says 'How about you and me...?'
% ignore Bubba
You are now ignoring anything having to do with Bubba.
From then on, you basically run into just (in perlspeak):
# Where $person is the name in a list of ignored people
if ($_ =~ /$person/) {
$_ = "\n";
}
This doesn't keep $person from attacking, stealing, or otherwise DOING
things to you - and indeed, you'd want to modify the check so that you
are notified of actions like that (else $person could steal you blind, or
you'd be in combat, and not even know it), but it certainly gets around
having to enture social dorks.
Also, you could chose to send a message back to Bubba like "Newman is
ignoring you." for tells and emotes. This should get the message across.
