I use some setmsgs to start with, but if they aren't relevant, then I don't use them. e.g. one of them says "ooh! a cabbage full of loots", and I don't use it if their holds are empty (or at least not often), also, instead of typing /1, and letting the entire system hear it, it's possible to type /l1 instead, which says exactly the same, just into local chat.
