NoWhisper plugin README
-----------------------

NoWhisper is a palace server plugin which allows greater control over
who may whisper on a server.  Instead of just allowing or forbidding
whispers, the nowhisper plugin can be configured to allow whispers if
either party is a god, wizard, or member.  It can also completely
forbid or allow whispers as the standard server does.


Installation

The following installation instructions assume that the Palace server
has been installed in /usr/local/palace.  It is installed by
placing the plugin file, nowhisper.so, in the palace binary folder,
/usr/local/palace/bin, and adding the following line to the plugin
configuration file, /usr/local/palace//psdata/plugin.conf:

../bin/nowhisper.so 

The  may be one of on, guest, member, wizard, operator,
god, owner, off.  If it is omitted, the default setting will depend on
the setting of NOWHISPER in the pserver.conf file.


God commands

NoWhisper accepts several commands from users with wizard or god status.

`nowhisper [guest|member|wizard|god|operator|owner|off|on] - Set the
                              minimum rank of user that is permitted
                              to engage in whispering.

N.B. "`nowhisper" may be abbreviated to "'now".
