#241, "Link dropping to clear your command buffer"

It just got a little nastier. You'll come back just fine, buffer cleared...but you'll be a little laggy. So long, and thanks for all the fish!

Does it affect those who reconnect innocently?,

There is a short window of time where it affects anyone who drops link. We've done our best to keep that window short enough that it affects the people trying to abuse this tactic. So long, and thanks for all the fish!

Would it not have been wiser to put in a command that cleared your buffer ? Unless the code is that much of a mess that its not easily done. It would be a much praised command, you could entail say a 2 round lag on it or something. But it would still be a nifty command. I've killed myself a few times by not counting room movements and such. Unable to drop link fast enough to clear buffer.
Perhaps even add a command now that allows you to cancel your buffer.
Just my two cents worth.

Because your buffer is held in the client, not on the mud itself.

Far to much work to create a command queue for very little payoff, when this "patch" solves the problem. Don't spam your commands and you won't die stupidly because of it. So long, and thanks for all the fish!
