Suggestion/request: Flood protection by CanadianOriginal on 06-25-2004 at 10:28 PM
Maybe this would be useful to other people, maybe not... I have a contact that floods everyso often by going online/offline, so I get loads of toasts (even more since I set Plus! to give offline notifications).
Would it be possible to code a plugin that temporarily blocks a contact for X seconds if the contact comes online/goes offline Y times in Z seconds?
Cheers
(variables are to suggest configurable options

Since when do people with no lives listen?

hmmm this would be very useful but as an "ignore" command
ex:
/ignore Vantage [2 second]

why not deleted delete him/her, but not block them. this will mean they can start converstations but u won't seem them flooding

This all seems technically, how about requestiong a feature onto Plus! that only allows X amount of popups over a particular time. e.g. 1 every 3 seconds.
A suggestion.
I havent made one of those since back in like, XSO times.

what about this quick text? :
/block (!P)
#9#/unblock (!P)
you can change the 9 to the number of seconds the contact will be blocked, and if you assign it an alias like ignore, you can do
/ignore email@address.com

Sometimes if i have to fix stuff i will have to sign in and out. Could there be a plugin in which i could say "Do not send new sign-in/out toast to my contacts for X number of minutes (or seconds)"?

woot! I thought development was stopped on SPNG. Glad to see it's still in the works, especially if it has this feature
RE: Suggestion/request: Flood protection by stuartbennett on 11-10-2004 at 06:49 PM
thanks tb i too get plagued by continous toasts where i get 4 identical message toasts appearing at the same time or within a few seconds of each other and it really annoys me, im glad to hear your adding a solution to this in stuffplug thanks again.
