Noticed that the ping command doesn't work in a conversation with more than one person, why doesn't it? can u make it work? just a suggestion becaue it would be better if i know the reply speed of more than one person! thank you.

I think it's been done (on purpose) to prevent a Pong! flood if you're in a conversation with many people (correct me if I'm wrong).

Mippo is right. If several people send a pong at the same time (more or less), the conversation would become a chaos.

not realy.... IMHO.....
wouldn't this happen:


person 1 says:
let's ping all of you...

person 1 says:
/ping

person 2 says:
pong [1 sec]

person 3 says:
pong [2 sec]

person 4 says:
pong [1 sec]

person 5 says:
pong [1 sec]

person 1 says:
done...

person 2 says:
Not realy confussing IMO, just a few lines more as useuall...
But of course the returned pongs don't mean anything to us, only to you, "person 1"...

person 4 says:
aye...

EDIT: Anubis... it is only an example and I felt like putting a "2"....

Yeah, I agree with Cookie, there is not really a problem in large conversations because there are a lot of people...if someone gets annoying and keeps doing it you can block them and all leave or just disable a pong being sent in preferences...however wouldn't it actually be more accurate if;
person 2 says:
pong [1 sec]

person 4 says:
pong [1 sec]

person 5 says:
pong [1 sec]

person 3 says:
pong [2 sec]
Because how can a 1second ping be faster than a 2 second ping?

Blocks have no effect in group convos. That's probably one of the reasons for SPNG's Ignore User feature.

This is a very interesting suggestion only if somehow it could work!!!

/xignore <email> IIRC...

Well if this is so annoying and it has been disabled then why do i receive reply when in a 2 + ppl convo by sending Ping? [msgplus]. but it's just that i don't see the time it took so why not fix it so i can see the time or something cause in both ways i can flood the convo right now lol

I never said they did, I meant block whoever invites you/all of them...
