/set diemsg command?

[Recoil9000]

so I was going through the user commands using the /? cause I saw that cannon had created some new ones. I realized then that there was a /set diemsg command. I tried it without any parameters just to see what it did. Turns out it sets the die message to all, system, self, or none. I tested it out with a friend to see if it really did what I thought it did by a little act of OORP suicide... and it turns out that you really can turn off the death message now.

Now this is where my rant begins. Sure it would be nice to not have death messages flooding the message box, but death messages are almost a neccessity the way the bounty collection works. Most people who post a bounty require that you have proof of the death of that person by your character. Now the pirates (or lawfuls, depending on what side you are on) can turn off that message and pretty much prevent anyone from collecting a bounty on them.

Now, I can understand the use of this command to set it to all or only system, but not to self or none. We at least need to see the death messages in the system chat, or at least locally if not that.
