with the Spam Protection set at 19

#20 say hi
Spam Prot kicks in at 19 sends the command, then the last hi <-- Correct

#SEND {say hi}
Press and hold enter enuf so that over 20 are sent, Spam Prot never kicks in <-- Discussed on here ages ago and found to happen with everyone and some said it was a bug

#loop 20 {#SEND {say hi}}
Derivative of the above and lazier than holding the enter key, but with the same results of Spam Prot not kicking in <-- Don't think it was discussed, but should be a bug along the same lines as above

#20 {#SEND {say hi!}}
This is the main reason I am writing about: Also does not kick in spam prot for some reason. Since it's being used with the #20 which works, it seems that the #send cancels it out even tho it's listed second

Given that there's never going to be any development on zmud cause it's now "the bastard red-headed step child that Zugg ignores in favor of the new baby in the house" (joking btw), should I even bother reporting this as a bug? or was this all intentional? and for that matter...where the heck DO i report bugs Confused

I am of the opinion that this is proper function, as #SEND is supposed to FORCE send something to the MUD. So yeah.. just IMO :) I have no idea if this was intentional or not. Curious on how it works in CMUD.

Heh, CMUD fires anti-spam protection in every case Wink

So, it's fixed in CMUD and won't be fixed in zMUD - it's not just that Zugg has stopped developing zMUD, btw, he actually can't develop it any more because it doesn't compile in his new Vista/Delphi 2k5 environment - so I think that's case closed.

The reason it is fixed in CMud for all those cases is because the #SEND command was rearranged. In zMud, the #SEND command bypasses all processing like: mapper, spam prot, oninput, alias, and screen display. CMud moved #SEND into a position where only alias parsing is blocked, and instituted a new #SENDRAW that is in the low level postion.

So SENDRAW would now bypass SpamProt in CMUD in place of #SEND?

Should do, yes.

Good to know for when I switch over ;) Sooooo many changes. Most for the better I'd have to say.

If you find anything big that's different that's not listed, make sure you mention it :)
