Well PJ after our little squad got thrashed by the Assasins Tuesday night  in CT, we were in way too much shock to whine. However if you fellas spank everyone as bad as you did us Tuesday, I could see some people whining.
All kidding aside, we really rook our lumps and learned some lessons the hard way Tuesday, Bigmax, Spoon, and Gre8white, really took us to school. Outstanding flying guys.

When there are 400+ people online there is way too much garbage in the text buffer.  I was just tweaking my firewall and thought how firewall-like rules could help me get the information I want to see while filtering out the garbage.  AH could use a robust squelch system with a configuration file similar to a firewall config...

# AHsquelch.conf - example
squelch 1
squelch 2
squelch 6
listensquad ammo on 6   # allow kill messages from squad only
squelch rewolf
listensquad hblair on 2,3  # listen to assassins on channel 2 and 3
listensquad fatty on any  # listen to fdb on any channel
squelchsquad shane  # would only effect channel 3 based on previous rules

Basically an aceshigh dot command batch file with a few added commands and features.  I could at any time .listen all and then .filter to re-enable my filter set.  There would be no limit to the number of players you could squelch and the filter would be loaded when starting AH if filtering was enabled.
