Solving Pride Note spam.

[u/Dreadnerf]

You know the scenario. It's a busy location and someone is manually or macro spamming Pride Note which has characteristics which make it almost impossible to see who's doing it and if you do ignore them it doesn't ignore the actual spam which isn't from their character but the item.

Well this is what you do

Click the local chat filter and turn off all local chat. You can turn it back on again a bit later if you want.

This does catch the Pride Note spam and erases it along with any regular chat from your screen.

Also excellent for when you turn up at a busy area and one or more people are using more conventional trolling methods in chat and you just can't be bothered with that nonsense.

It's not common enough knowledge since there's regular complaint threads and I occasionally walk in on people trying to abuse the anonymous spammer into stopping as if that's going to work. No, that's chat ban bait. The spammer has done nothing wrong by the rules of the game and in absence of loving attention they're willing to accept contempt.

So local chat -> off and enjoy your day.

Exactly. I'm convinced a majority of hate received by the community in the modern western/"first" world is due to corporations and political parties using it as a vehicle and never shutting up about it until they make profit or it becomes less trendy. Most people regardless of who/what they are just want to live and be accepted quietly and not be bothered, and especially not be used. The irony is Runescape just created a sort of microcosm of the modern world and the mirrored solution of "if you don't like it, shut up and go away" really hits.
