Miscellaneous

When you enter chat you will see the number of players in the chat channel; if you are the only player in that chat channel the message "There is currently one player in this channel, and that one player is you!" will replace it.

[Modifier]+LeftArrow and [Modifier]+RightArrow will cycle through your chat tabs, if tabbed chat is enabled.

Shout Filter

Disabled March 8, 2011:
The shout filter was a filter that prevented people posting in more than 40% capital letters and exclamation marks (!). Any message that contained more than 40% capital letters and exclamation marks was re-posted as "[shouting]". Posting a "[shouting]" post following another "[shouting]" post acted as a repetition, even if the messages' contents were different. There was no way to turn the shout filter off, but it was disabled in clan chat.

Repetition Filter

Disabled March 8, 2011:
The repetition filter was a filter that prevented people posting the exact same text, or repetitive characters into open chat more than once. It resulted in a message coming back to you saying Repetition. You were still able to /msg a person the same text more than once.
