One of my dwarfs lost both her arms in a valiant effort to defend the fortress.

Although I'm grateful for her effort, I now get spammed with messages saying "cancels Stored Owned Item: Too injured. Is there anyway from stopping her trying to store items?

bah, the only use for a dwarf with no arms is the gladiator pit! – spartacus Nov 21 '11 at 17:47

Every time I see a question like this about dwarf-fortress I think "wow, d.f. is deep, there are 'dwarfs with no arms' in it too!" – George Duckett Nov 21 '11 at 19:47

That's exactly how I started playing, after seeing questions being asked here. Extremely steep learning curve, but well worth it. – Xenox Nov 21 '11 at 21:10

Kill her or try to suppress the announcements.

I suppose you already deactivated hauling labors so that won't work.

I went with killing her in the end. Turning of hauling labors didn't work as she still tried to store her own items. – Xenox Nov 22 '11 at 9:35

I suppose you could just turn off all manual labor jobs. I guess that would be an opportunity to create the most socially adept dwarf ever.

Indeed. In my current fortress a similar Look ma! No hands! dwarf veteran successfully campaigned for a mayor. – Tadeusz A. Kadłubowski Dec 5 '11 at 12:07
