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.

Muscular Beaver A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 8 File comments: 68 Uploads: 0	Well it looks like Blizzards oh-so-awesome blocking filter doesnt work so well. I still get quite a few tells from gold sellers. I just got 6 tells from them in 3 hours. But when I want to report em with SpamSentry, it tells me that WoW has blocked that addon. So it seems they are unable to deliver an as good solution as SpamSentry but then dont allow these addons anymore to report the people who need to be reported... Looks like GMs lied to me serveral times when they told me they thank me for the reports and want me to continue reporting. Thats some weird policy they have there, but I am not surprised when I looks at Blizzards past records. Last edited by Muscular Beaver : 05-23-07 at 04:56 PM.

Melissa A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 13 Uploads: 0	Hello! Love, love, love this mod of yours. I have a feature request if you don't mind! If I use SS to make a GM report ticket, any subsequent gold spam whispers languish in the queue until the GM clears the ticket. I'm told that it's best to report them as soon as you get them. Is there a way that, if a ticket is currently pending, SS could edit the existing ticket, adding any spams that come in? Thanks!

Anea,

I did as you stated, then logged in with only spam sentry enabled. I performed a test and it worked!

I then enabled my add ons one by one (i.e. enabled 1, logged in, tested, successful, logged out, rinse repeat).

All addons enabled, still working.

I then tested each setting that I had previously enabled:
Added to Titan Bar = Successful
Naming Counter Enabled = Successful
Modified Spam Report Text = Successful
Autoclear enabled = Successful
Disabled Fubar = Not Successful

Re-enabled Fubar = still fails

I exited WoW, logged in and it worked again.

Looks like it has something to do with Fubar.

Hope this helps!

Nope. No problems with SpamSentry & Fubar here. SpamSentry's FuBar plugin works just fine & I can manually add spammers (the problem you reported).

In your original post, you didn't list that you had FuBar, only Titan. But on this post you say that "the problem is with FuBar"? So what is the actual situation?

You don't need both bar mods. If you use FuBar, get the latest release version from the site here or the latest beta version from http://files.wowace.com (what I use). Both versions work fine with all FuBar plugins as well as every other mod I've tried (and I've tested about every single FuBar plugin that has been released).

Anea A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 68 Uploads: 1	Hello Everyone, I just uploaded version 20070512 of SpamSentry. This will be the last release before the upcoming 2.1 patch. And contains fixes for various issues as well as ignore-by-level, and updated filters and localisations. As most of you have noticed, Blizzard has announced a number of changes to their UI that takes over some of the functionality that SpamSentry offers. Blizzard also announced better/stricter filtering and some other measures to decrease spam. I'd like to thank everyone who supported this mod over the past months. It was Your reports that made Blizzard realise something had to be done about the goldspam problem. SpamSentry has been tested to work in 2.1, but only time will tell if you'll need it. I actually cross fingers that it will be obsolete ;-) Greets, Anea
