Default DND Mode

Can we add a command like /dnd so that when you activate it no one can PM you? There are many times such as when I am in a ladder game or in a competitive match that multiple people start PMing like crazy and it can annoying. Just have it so when someone tries to PM you when /dnd is on it says "This person has Do Not Disturb enabled."

What also would be great with this, is if people had DND enabled, you could leave messages. That way when you turn DND off, you could see the people that were trying to get a hold of you.

But at your idea Nick, I don't know what you mean about "PM'S" do you mean in the Game were people whisper to you? You can always turn chat off in your account.

Why don't you change capturemode to not show chat?

Yes, I've wanted this feature, too. And Ajuk, that's a good point but I'm not sure what message other players get when they try to /whisper. I would be in favor of a command-line way to do this instead of having to jump back and forth through the options screen.

And as an aside, I'd still like to see a way to view the last (one or more) /whispers made since sometimes I close the chat window right as a message is coming in.

Then you look like a jerk.

Also, in a ladder match the in game chat is much more relevant and I want to see what people are saying on my team. However, if someone is spamming my with whispers then it is hard to keep track of the in game stuff.

I like this. I'd like to be able to type /dnd 1 and disable getting whispers in the chat for a while. However, I'd be fine with having those whispers appear in the main interface when you press Escape, as long as they don't appear in the chat.

Sort of unrelated, but there are a lot of server commands without much documentation apart from the most used ones. Any idea what they do?

You got that one thing i missed in maimer's idea. Just let the messages still appear in the menu but not in the chatbox.

Yah, that sounds fine as long as the people who are messaging get some indication that you aren't receiving them. You don't want to finish a game and check your PMs to see someone saying "WTF WHY AREN'T YOU ANSWERING ME?!?!?!"

Also, what commands are you referring to?

There are a bunch of commands that appear when you "/listcommands" that I have never heard of being mentioned or used. I'll make a list later and see if you know what their purpose is.
