Hey, is anyone aware of a method to filter chat by keyword? The in-game spam is … absolutely incredible.
Some super basic keyword filters would cut down on 99% of it. Even better, if you could selectively ignore any message containing a URL, or a contract, or something like that.
It’s SUPER weird that a, what, 20 year old game doesn’t have this. It smacks of intention and makes chat completely unusable.
Oh boy the number of things this 20 year old game doesn’t have…
No just don’t look at Local chat in high sec
I only have local open to see if others are in the system.
Same but in systems where that matters people aren’t spamming in local. Unless a brave fleet is rolling through
Mattered a bit doing plexes in FW, gave us a slight heads up if we were about to be swarmed.
There is a way to filter specific keywords, though they will appear censored (****) instead of not showing up at all.
I cant find a guide but if you look around the chat settings you should find it
Remember that there used to be a full (but outdated) browser in game. So URLs in chat was and is sorta still a feature. However if your looking for old and lost conversations, you have a logs folder that contains all chats your client loads.
Beyond that, just ignore local near Jita, you will not find a more wretched hive of scum and villiany.
It is pretty bad. The worst part is the newbie NPC corps that are constantly spammed with referral links. Such a horrible introduction to the game. It would be trivial for CCP to stamp it out in game but they seem to be fine with it.
