Message Filtering

[Mojohaza1]

You may be thinking that this is not a big issue but to me it is.

I'm a clan leader and over the past few years I've seen hundreds of members come into IRC for their very first time only to see that all the links are filtered.

They are then told to type "/umode2 -f" or "/mode user -f", which in my view just makes them immediately suspicious of IRC because you are asking them to type some alien code.

If they want to fix it permanently they are told to go to start tab (confusing in itself), options > irc tab > untick "enable message filtering". A routine which I have had to explain so many times it is now etched into my brain.

 

So can you please set this filter to be off by default?

It would save me and many other people from having to repeat themselves hundreds of times.

Furthermore, I believe they are already warned about the dangers of IRC and asked to type "I agree" or something similar when they first connect (could be wrong, long time since I first used SK) and also are reminded a link may be unsafe EVERY time they click on one, so is it really needed?

 

thanks for considering, hopefully you remove this filter.

Hi,

 

The filter was implemented on the request of Jagex, and is a vital part of SwiftKit to remain within the rules set forth for 3rd party software.
