/time
Entering "/time" gives you the time, according to the server clock. Scheduled events always refer to this time.

/me
Entering "/me" causes the text following the command to appear in the chat window, preceded by your name. For example, if your username was Demonstrator, and you entered

/me is demonstrating an emote.

the following will appear in the chat window:

/ignore
Entering "/ignore" adds a player to your Ignore List. You no longer see any text output from that player, he can no longer invite you to trade, he cannot ping you, and he can no longer join casual games you are hosting. For example, to ignore the player Bob, you would type:

/ignore Bob

You can also add players to your Ignore List using the Buddy/Ignore tab under Preferences.

/unignore
Entering "/unignore" removes a player from your Ignore List. For example, to remove Bob from your Ignore List, you would type:

/unignore Bob

You can also remove players from your Ignore List using the Buddy/Ignore tab under Preferences.

/addbuddy
To add a player to your Buddy List, enter "/addbuddy" when that player is in the same lobby as you. For example, to add the player Bob to your Buddy List, you would type:

/addbuddy Bob

You can also add players to your Buddy List using the Buddy/Ignore tab under Preferences.

/removebuddy
To remove a player from your Buddy List, enter "/removebuddy" when that player is in the same lobby as you. For example, to remove the player Bob from your Buddy List, you would type:

/removebuddy Bob

You can also remove players from your Buddy List using the Buddy/Ignore tab under Preferences.

/sayto
Entering "/sayto" directs a comment in the chat window to a particular player in the same lobby as you. All players can still see the comment, but it is prefaced with "(to )" to indicate the player it is intended for. For example, if your username is Carol, and you want to say "Hello" to Bob, you would type:

/sayto Bob Hello

The following would appear in the chat window:

Carol (to Bob): Hello

/whisper Bob Hello

The following would appear only in Bob's chat window:

Carol whispers to you, Hello

While you would see:

/help
Entering "/help" or "/?" prints a list of all available commands in the chat window.
