>: Is there a way to delete old insults?

12.13  INSULT

[...]

If this command is used without an argument, all the insults for
the gladiator will be erased.

>: could someone please post the command which allows you put messages at
>: the end of the arena news?

12.19  NEWS

Syntax:   NEWS
Cost:     None
Limits:   1. News articles must be 5 lines in length or
          less.
          2. News articles can be ended with the END
          keyword.

The NEWS command can be used to enter a short article in the next
issue of the Arena News.  The NEWS keyword can be followed by up
to 5 lines of text, terminated with the END keyword.  The text
will be published in the next issue of the news and attributed to
the gladiator who issued the NEWS command.  For example:

NEWS
  I am looking for a team to join.  My 2-3-1 record is not really
  indicative of my abilities.
  END

Note that if you have exactly 5 lines of text the END keyword
isn't necessary, but you can include it anyway - it will simply
be ignored by the command processor.

While there is currently no limit on the number of news articles
a gladiator or coach can post per day, you are requested to post
no more than about once per day.  If the news facility is abused,
hard limits will be enforced.

>Why not RTFM you get when you join up?

People who signed up early on have older versions of the Rules that do
not contain some commands (such as NEWS).
