Limit of emotions/signs in a PM

[PumaD]

Players may spam you 300 emotions in 15 PMs in a time of 3 seconds and your client will crash, which is pretty annoying.
Please, add a limit of emotions or signs in PMs to fix that.

There's this cool thing called an ignore feature you may or may not have heard of.

This has been happening for a long time. No idea why Stefan has not spent the 30 minutes it would take to fix it.

Can't you read? The client will crash within seconds, and guess how hard it is to tell who spammed you? And even if I ignore them afterwards, I still crashed.

Wouldn't this be something addressed with the playerlist script now rather than the client?

edit: nevermind. Skyld can't do anything about it so it's still up to Stefan. It does seem like a very simple fix though. Just keep tab on the emoticon count and stop parsing smilies after it exceeds 50 or so.

This problem still exists? Funny.

Hope it gets fixed soon though.

Ideally just limit the number of images a PM message control will display, smilies or not. You can do the same thing with a bunch of <img> tags. I think you can also still crash the client by sending an <img> tag with the source being a giant file (as long as the file has an image extension—his solution last time was to remove iso from the list of image extensions, which is laughably ineffective).
