!CleanStart - Clean Up Your Login Spam

Tired of login spam flooding your chat every time you enter the game?
!CleanStart automatically captures, filters, and organizes all chat messages that appear during login - giving you a clean, quiet start every time you play.

Whether it's addons printing debug text, system messages firing all at once, or random clutter you don’t care about, !CleanStart puts you in control.

You can finally filter out messages you’ve already seen hundreds of times, like:
“Remember to act responsibly, protect your personal information, and report anything offensive. View our In-Game Code of Conduct…”
