Disabled Commands
The following commands are listed in the environment, except where noted, but appear to be disabled or deprecated. If you find differently, please move to the appropriate section and write a comment on it.


 * gwho - /gwho,/whoguild,/glist - ? Either predates who command's more advanced options, or was intended to list guilds. No handler is defined for this.
 * greplace - ? Possibly used by GMs to replace an inactive Guild Leader
 * guildhelp - /guildhelp,/ghelp - A help text for guild commands; however, the SlashCmdList function is commented out in FrameXML\ChatFrame.lua, so it is not active in-game.
 * REMOVED lfm - Opened the Looking For More interface prior to patch 3.3.  The command was removed completely on patch 4.0.
 * moderate - ? Possibly used to set whether a channel was moderated, this feature was moved into the /moderator command.
 * REMOVED mount - Deprecated in WotLK, use /cast now.
 * saveguildroster - Saves the Guild Roster as a text file (disabled in 3.2.2 due to the implementation of the Armory).
