This isn't really a problem, just something to watch out for:

-The area around spawn limits you so that you cannot speak in chat. If you are in this area, you cannot /msg and whenever you speak in chat it is followed by a red message telling you that you need to move away from spawn before chatting. Noone else can see your messages despite them appearing in chat on  your screen. This is a great way to stop spam bots which log Into servers and stand in spawn spamming chat, however it also affects minechat users (and similar apps). The default setting on minechat is to spawn on connecting. If you are like me and don't have a home set yet, go to a warp to chat. Remember that mobs can still kill you, so find a warp that takes you to a well lit indoor area like a shop.
