Does it happen that you can read messages from foe ?

[surtsan]

Hello,

I've found this issue on github, and I was wondering if this bug was still there.
So did it happen recently (within the last weeks) that you can sometimes receive messages from foe (the ones tagged in red in user lists) ?

Thanks.

well you can but are you saying it doesn't read "Quaaaack Quaack Quack Quaack Quaaaaaaaaack" ?

The quack stuff was removed years ago. Foe is supposed to stop people being able to PM you and also stop you from seeing messages in aeolus. You can still see stuff from them in lobby or in game, though.

Ahahahah, I completely forgot, there was this quack before. But no, not talking about the quack.


I was talking about that (maybe solved? maybe not) sometimes even if you foed someone, you can still receive & read his message in aeolus.

And ok I see for lobby/in game, thanks.

sorry a bit offtopic but why was the quacking removed? wasn't that the best thing?

[PhilipJFry]

the quacking feature broke with the big server transition a few years back and when a method censor messages of foes was reintroduced it was decided that quacking should not be the default since it only makes you aware of someone you probably don't wanna see being around

maybe someone with time and motivation will code an option to make foes quack in aeolus instead of hiding their messages but i doubt that anyone will

yeah all in all that makes sence.
