Hermes build 13 introduced a mute function that allows you to block Hermes chat messages from specified users. Note that this will not block chat that occurs within your chat range.
As of Build 32, the maximum number of entries in a mute list is 75. (Versions prior to Build 32 impose a limit of 50.)
To mute a user, use the h:mute <name> command. For example, to mute "Andrew" type h:mute "Andrew".
To see all users in your mute list, just type h:mute.
To unmute a user, use the h:unmute <name> command. For example, to unmute Hyper Anthony type h:unmute Hyper Anthony.
Users can also be removed by the entry number in the mute list. For example, given the following mute list:
Typing h:unmute #3 will remove "MrMoose" from your mute list.
Introduced in Hermes Build 32 (25-AUG-2006)
h:mute will now recognize the /L switch to list all entries; e.g., h:mute /L.
h:mute also supports the /C switch to clear all entries; e.g., h:mute /C. (In versions before build 32, this can be accomplished with h:unmute #0.)
h:mute supports the /U flag to look up an avatar name to add to your mute list. For example, h:mute /U ?brit will look for the first user whose name contains "brit" and add the name to your mute list.
The mute list supports avatar name references; that is, you can add entries such as ?pop that will mute all users whose name contains "pop". For more info on avatar name references, see the top of the Commands page.
Mute lists for bots and tourists are now saved.
For bots, h:mute /CO will copy the mute list of their owner. (E.g., a bot owned by cit#358220 will be able to copy the mute list of cit#358220.)
h:mute /Q allows you to determine if a user currently in the world has muted you. An good example is h:mute /Q ?* to see if anyone currently in the world has muted you.
