[SUGGESTION] Prevent Friend is No Longer Away Alert From Spamming Chat

Discussion in 'Suggestion Box Archives' started by Yixomua, Dec 9, 2017.

  1. I think this could reduce the spam from a single friend intentionally going into away mode and getting out of it:

    If the friend is already AFK, and they use the AFK command again, don't alert their friends.
    Add a timeout before the alert can be sent again.

    Yes, I know this feature just came out today :p

  3. EDIT: That setting controls if you come back from away, but doesn't prevent messages when your friends come back from away.

  4. So, maybe a way where it will only show up for a player every hour for example? That way it would spam several times an hour, but instead slow it down?

  5. Yeah, that would be the per-friend timeout. One hour might be excessive though, so I think 5 minutes would be good.

    Also, updated my last message.

  6. I think the better solution is to only alert friends if you were afk for more than 5 mins.
