To ignore somebody, use <tt>/ignore</tt>, followed by their name. Unignoring is accomplished the same way: <tt>/ignore</tt> (without a name) shows a list of ignored players (if any).
Private message alert sounds may be controlled via the settings, under the sounds tab, where you can enable a sound alert when you receive a message. It is disabled by default. This sound will play at the moment a tab starts flashing red. If a tab is already flashing red and you receive another PM on that tab, it will not play the sound again.
