Non-existent commands

Attempting to run a command that does not exist may result a nocmd notice being sent to the client. Server implementations forego this and post the issued command as a regular message to whatever channel the client sent it on.

Example

In both of these cases the client issued non-existent command /beans soup.

Non-existent commands are caught

The user receives the nocmd notice with the formatting field set to beans without the leading slash.

Non-existent commands are sent as messages

Everyone present in the channel receives a S2C Packet 2: Message Add packet with the Message Body field set to /beans soup.
