#850 Usage: nospam Combat messages become an issue when the number of attacks accrues with larger groups or too many followers. Because there are so many attacks being displayed to you, it becomes "spam" when your entire screen is consumed by this information. By toggling all combat messages other than your own on or off with this command, you can then focus on your conditions as reported by your PROMPT. If you use a screen reader then this command is very helpful. Note that you will not see other members of your group attacking things when NOSPAM is enabled. Take caution when leading a group with nospam enabled in an area where aggressive mobiles exist.
