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.

You can access it's options by (right)clicking the icon near the minimap, or if you prefer to disable that, by using the slash command: /sentry Anea

eobet A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 7 Uploads: 0	Thanks for the reply. I downloaded it and it works great! Lovely mod. However, even though I clicked on the main link for the supposedly latest version, there was no "no reply needed" text or option anywhere to be seen. Hmm... now that I check the readme.txt, it doesn't seem to be the latest version at all, even though I know I clicked the right download link. I'll try again and see if I get the latest this time.

Anea A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 68 Uploads: 1	The version numbers are a bit selusive as wowinterface was a bit Fu when I uploaded the latest version and the filenames got messy. 20070502 is identical to 20070501-2. Mind: The no-reply notice is only displayed once, so you won't get to see it anymore after upgrading. You can manually edit the tickettext from the options menu and add a line [NO REPLY NEEDED].

Asikr A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 4 Uploads: 0	potential bugs? First off, fantastic mod. Thank you for creating something to deal with these annoying people while trying to enjoy this game. I have been unable to use 2 features with this mod, I was wondering if it was the mod (known bug?) or a potential conflict with another mod i have installed. When a spammed message gets through the filter, I cannot do the following: 1) Right click on their name and report spam. Nothing happens when I perform this action. 2) If I try to use this command to assist your filtering: /sentry spam feedback <insert name here> A window will pop up entitled: SpamSentry Copy this sequence and submit it to the mod-author. And this window is blank. Mods I currently have installed: Atlas CT Bar Mod CT Mail Mod CT Core CT Map Mod CT Bottom Bar eCastingBar EnchantingSell LinkWrangler Necrosis Perl Combat Frames Sell Value SW_Stats Titan Thanks in advance! Sincerely, Asikr

Striph A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 15 File comments: 31 Uploads: 3	After installing SpamSentry if I have my guild window open it will randomly close itself, if I disable the SS addon then this doesn't happen. Have you found a bug or anything thats hooking into the guild window, maybe the routine that adds the right click report name/spam is closing the window? All i know is its more irritating than the spam messages.

Anea A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 68 Uploads: 1	Asikr: The feedback function only works once you've managed to add a spammer to the reportlist. The fact that you can't manually add spammers suggests another addon is conflicting, and this also means that most likely the normal filtering won't work as intended either. I suggest you turn off a few addons at a time to find the culprit. If you have a fair idea of what addon is causing the trouble I would love to know, so that I can update my code for compatibility if possible. Striph: This didn't use to be a problem, but with the increased spamrate, it has become a major nuisance indeed. I have fixed this for the next release, which is in betatesting atm. Most likely I'll upload the new version of SpamSentry this weekend.

Anea,

Thank you for responding. I went thru each add on, and none allowed me to manually add a spammer. So I tried disabling them all but spamsentry (should have done this before posting), and it still did not allow me to manually add.

hope this helps!

Morgarl A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 5 Uploads: 0	I recently downloaded this mod and logged into game. I am not seeing the button to right click for options, nor when I type /sentry does anything come up. SpamSentry is checkmarked on my addons list and I even disabled every other addon I have and it's still not working. I've tried everything I can think of so am looking for some help please. This mod will be a godsend for all the spam I've been getting recently. Thanks

Anea A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 68 Uploads: 1	@Asikr: A very odd problem =S If i may suggest so: Let's try a vanilla clean install: Disable all addons, re-download and install SpamSentry and remove the spamsentry.lua file from your gamefolder/wtf/account/savedvariables folder. @Morgarl: See my comments for asikr ;-) @Meadbh: As I told Striph, the issue with the social pane closing at random times will be fixed next release.

MJ1 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	Error message when trying to start sentry I just loaded Spam Sentry and started it and got a red error box when game started. Error was: Interface\addons\spamsentry\locale-esES.lua :1: attempt to call global 'Acelibary' (a nil value) Ok i'm lost what did I do? Hope I didn't break anything

Asikr A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 4 Uploads: 0	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! Asikr Last edited by Asikr : 05-11-07 at 10:41 PM.
