SpamSentry

Version: 20091214

by: Anea [More]

SpamSentry by Anea

This addon stops goldspam messages from showing in your chatframes. To detect spam, SpamSentry uses sophistacted heuristics that have been developed over the course of over two years. Caught spammers can easily be reported using an intuitive one-click report system. SpamSentry features an LDB plugin that provides some simple status info, and gives you quick access to the options and the reporting window.

---
20091214: Updated toc for 3.3, updated filters, fixed issue with Whisp
---

Installation:
* Unzip the file into your 'Interface/Addons' folder.

Features:
* Detects multi-message spam
* Customisable notification
* LibDataBroker (LDB) support (FuBar users can download Broker2FuBar to show the SpamSentry icon)
* Compatible with Whisp, Chatter and Wim
* Seperate reportlists are maintained for each realm you play on
* And many more

Use:
* Left click the LDB icon to show a list of blocked messages
* Type /sentry or right-click the icon for options

How to help:
* If a spam-message isn't recognised:
1. Report the spammer by right-clicking the name in the chat window and selecting "Report Spam"
2. Control-click the SpamSentry icon
3. Send me a PM with the code sequence
* If you encounter a false positive:
1. Click the message in SpamSentry main-window
2. Send me a PM containing that message

Performance notes:
* All code has been designed to minimize parsing-time, and maximize performance for raiding.
* The addon currently uses about 150kB memory (Patch 3.0 GetAddOnMemoryUsage(), no libraries).
* Toggle the statistics option in the configuration screen to show session statistics in the tooltip.

Known issues:
* Blizzard made an a-typical implementation for who-queries. You may notice slow response on the /who command while using this mod when the chat is crowded.
* Textballoons from says and yells are still shown. Blizzard currently provides no way to block textballoons.

I'm pretty sure I can fix this issue, so I'll have a look at it later this week. Thank you for pointing this out to me. Anea

Anea A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 68 Uploads: 1	Hello Anerak, I'm adding some keywords to the blacklist to make sure the messages you got will be detected correctly. However, I'm still puzzled on why they look so garbled. I haven't been able to reproduce that. Are these messages copied from the saved variables lua file, or from the report-window?

About wtf and settings: Installing this new version of SpamSentry will reset your SpamSentry settings. My apologies for the inconvenience. Building a merge system would have taken me a lot of time, which I'd rather spend on solving issues, and improving spamdetection =) @Anerak: Links are only shown in reports when the website is in the blacklist. If the mod can't find a blacklisted website, it will show the first 50-or so characters of the spammessage. Spammers are very creative when it comes to cloaking urls, so I haven't found a reliable way yet to extract urls without that blacklist. As for the message that you posted: it's very garbled. Either it was parsed wrong, or the spammer did send a lot of crap. I'll run some tests tomorrow to see if I can reproduce this. Meanwhile, could you provide me with the original message? You can find it in the SpamSentry file in the "wtf/account/<accountname>/saved variables" folder. Anea

Anea A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 68 Uploads: 1	Hello Prismatech. I guess you missed it, so I colored the warning on top of this page in red now. Crossing fingers for everyone to read it =D Basically your error means you will have to delete all old SpamSentry folders, and then unzip the new version.

I'm currently testing an extra check that should prevent this kind of behaviour in 9 out of 10 cases.

Hello Everyone,

I've released a second hotfix today, which should solve the following issues:
- Errors when using a non-english clients
- Repeating messageflow when a spam is caught in a general channel

Compatibility:
- SpamSentry is fully compatible with both FuBar and TitanBar.
- WIM is not support at this stage. The WIM-author is currently not actively devoloping, but there are still some tainting-issues in his mod.

Before reporting any issues, please make sure to delete all SpamSentry folders, before unzipping the latest build.

Hopefully this release will prove to be stable. Please keep me posted if you experience any problems.

Anea

Anea A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 68 Uploads: 1	@Melissa My apologies, should have put instructions on the page (done so now) that you have to remove the files from the previous version before installing this new build. @Anerak Can you give me details on which channel this happened? I've seen this before, but it was supposed to have been fixed. I will look at it asap.

Melissa A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 13 Uploads: 0	As of the latest version (2/2/07), I'm having to disable the mod due to an error that's spewing over and over. I have BugSack and it keeps disabling itself due to the volume. The error is: "SpamSentry_Fu\SS_FuBar.lua:320: attempt to index global 'SS_ReportList' (a nil value)" I noticed that there was no Fubar directory in this version - was it left out of the ZIP by any chance? Cheers! -M
