I posted a reply on that thread, my God, ignorant people running around screaming at the sky...
The answer is stupidly simple Turbine, make character names appear as a green link in ALL CHATBOXES...
It is so damn handy, why DIDN'T they do this, esp. on the Trade channel?

Better solution is to not allow the changnig of text colors that go to the chat windows that other players can see.

I'm 99% sure that the green text in chat is acting like a hyperlink (I.E. you can clcik on a persons green name to atuomatically @tell them) you can modify our /tell like inorder to get your message to become green and rout it to @tell you. or I'm sure some others have had other bad intentions.
I dont think that they will have an issue if your plugins changes text to green for jsut you to see.

<<The answer is stupidly simple Turbine, make character names appear as a green link in ALL CHATBOXES...>>
Virindi Censor does that already. It adds tell-like links to global chat channels and allegiance chat. Just uncheck the other options...it's handy 
I don't see why it would be against the rules to use it in chat. That'd be pretty silly. It's not like you can do a link to a webpage or anything.

I say give us the option to turn it off entirely, myself...
That text hurts my eyes, and with people spamming it in random locations it begins to become bothersome. I'd rather just turn it off...or even better yet, filter anything like that...
And yes GoL, that's what they're referring to...

Virindi Censor also lets you filter out green text entirely

I mean in the client... I don't want to get a plugin to remove stuff that Turbine put in just because it gives me a headache...that should be Turbine's duty.
Sides, unless VCS has IRC functionality, I've long since gotten free of plugins that edit the chat.

Nah. Even if I did want to write a plugin that did IRC, it would be a separate plugin.

I still want a plugin for IRC that isn't Meginjarder or any plugin with "Tank" in the name. I miss Cypher 
Anyway, yes, the green chat bugs me...physically. Sides, it gives me clues who to squelch the accounts of if people use it and I can see it.

roflao it is just a silly hyperlink put in by turbine,one more way they are trying to turn a great game into a sorry chat room.
silly turbine devs..we do not like or want so much chat bs rammed down our throat,maybe if turbine spent more time on making sure the game itself was running right and less time inventing ways to turn ac into a chat room some of the old people that liked the game will come back. why is it we have to turn off chat channels,the option is fine but it is not an option..we have to turn it off and not visa versa. in fact after some 6 years i find it hard to play and chat at the same time and lost count of my deaths because i was looking at the keyboard. just like zelda and the ff series i would play without others,in fact i subscribed to a GAME and the button i clicked did say no chat just play. there are plenty of chat rooms we need more game.
;D
