    * manner.txt filter (client side)

In my opinion, spam control code should be kept in OpenKore while making it easier to "understand". But if it needs to be removed that's fine for me too.
We can implement similar features as in official clients, with clear code, options to toggle each subfeature there and clear UI responses instead of failing silently. I may look into doing that.
