There was therefore a need to cut down on the amount of +kibitzes and whispers a person might want to receive. A kibitz filter, +"kiblevel", was created in answer to this problem. + + What the kiblevel variable does is limit the kibitzes and whispers you will +hear to only users with a certain ability (either a given chess server rating +or chess master title -- GM, IM, FM, NM). You establish the kiblevel filter +by using the kiblevel variable and the "set" command. Here are the +possibilities for kiblevel settings, and their results: + + SAMPLE COMMANDS RESULT + ------------------ ------------------------------------------------ + set kiblevel 9999 Hear kibitzes/whispers only from titled users + set kiblevel 2000 Hear kibitzes/whispers from titled users and users + with ratings of 2000 or higher + set kiblevel 0 Hear all kibitzes/whispers + +In terms of a user's rating, the highest rating of blitz/standard is chosen. + + If you want to filter ALL kibitzes, use the "kibitz" variable setting +instead and type "set kibitz 0". + + Because problems with kibitz/whisper volume only on certain occasions, your +kiblevel variable is reset back to 0 each time you log in. That way, regular +games will not be affected by your forgetting to set kiblevel back to a more +suitable level. + + +SPECIAL NOTES: + +(a) Kibitzes made by server admins who are "on duty" (and have their admin +flag shown, namely a '*' in 'who' listings) are not filtered by this command +in order to allow for necessary communication in special circumstances. + +See Also: kibitz set variable whisper + +[Last modified: October 8, 1995 -- Friar] + |
