/filter broken

Post by Edgy » Fri Sep 06, 2002 11:22 pm

It appears that since upgrade to latest version 20020905 and the patch, that /filter no longer works. It says that it works, but it doesn't actually filter the text anymore? Bug or feature or just me?

For instance, when casting I use "/filter name add your image" and "/filter name add you" to get rid of all the spam. Used to work fine but now doesn't.

/filter works the way EQ filters work. IE exactly the opposite of what they would be logical. So to be consistant...

Please elaborate on what you mean by the filter now working illogically. It used to work fine as " /filter name add you" and would filter out everything starting off with "you". Now it doesn't.

Try /filter name off
I added the ability to turn all "name" filters on/off

tried turning the name filters on and off. Still doesn't work. Went back to previous version and it works flawlessly...I think I'll stick with 831
