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.

Valana A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 3 File comments: 102 Uploads: 18	Hi Anea, and thanks for the fantastic add-on. I was curious: do you have any plans for filtering other types of spam, instead of just gold seller spam? For instance: casinos, [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker], Chuck Norris spam, and murloc spam? For casinos, I'd like to see them blocked all the time, and for the latter 3, maybe some kind of flood protection would be more appropriate. Ie. allow such chat for a few lines, but if everyone in trade chat starts just starts spamming [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker] for the next 10 minutes, then SpamSentry should block that as well, for a predefined amount of time. Thank you for your consideration. __________________ Author of the TB Add-Ons Suite.

techsgtchen A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 68 File comments: 26 Uploads: 0	Thank you for authoring and maintaining this addon. I enjoy using this addon a great deal. I think I sympathize with Drai, please allow WoWMatrix to distribute this addon. I feel that I understand some of the conflicts of the past; Yet, I think you might be pleasantly surprised with how their program works now. I feel that the issues from the past might be irrelevant now. I think that you might disregard this comment, and others like it, but I think it is important to give feedback. Thank you again for your time and energy. __________________ W I T K H . K O V E N ' S . R E K O R D

Lombra A Molten Giant Forum posts: 554 File comments: 271 Uploads: 24	Re: wowmatrix WowMatrix is for lazy users who obviously doesn't have any respect for addon authors and Curse nor WoWInterface. You do not have to update your addons every day, most often not every week, sometimes not every month. __________________ Grab your sword and fight the Horde!

drai A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 5 Uploads: 0	wowmatrix Both Curse and Wowinterface have blocked wowmatrix, so that addons cannot be update with it. This forces all players who use that utility to hand-install addons. If an addon is licensed with a free license like GPL, wowmatrix will be able store the addon on their servers, allowing people to update it automatically. Or you (the author) can simply contact them (wowmatrix dot com) and just give them permission to store it on there servers. There are a lot of people who use wowmatrix. Many guilds require members to run it before starting wow for raids. please consider letting wowmatrix work with your addon. There will be no change to code. thanks

Spahut A Cobalt Mageweaver Forum posts: 231 File comments: 131 Uploads: 0	Question: When I manually right click on a spammer and report them, it is added to a list instead of being reported at once - is there a way to avoid it being added to the list but forced to be reported NOW ?

Spahut A Cobalt Mageweaver Forum posts: 231 File comments: 131 Uploads: 0	Here is a request: When you are told to click on a link to bring up the report window, I'd like a feature to see the "clear" button disabled. So many times I end up clicking on that instead of reporting the spammers and then its too late..

Anea A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 68 Uploads: 1	LDB icon I have been slacking a bit the past two weeks due to busy work. I'll look into the LDB-icon issue this weekend. Should not be too hard to fix once SpamSentry is using the up-to-date version of the lib again. Thank you all for the detailed feedback!

azonia A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 32 Uploads: 1	For now, the quick and dirty way is to do a search in your addons directory for the file "LibDBIcon-1.0.lua" Replace all versions of this file with the one included with SpamSentry. I'm sure there's a better fix, but this works for me.

khariv A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 71 Uploads: 0	So is there a straightforward resolution to turning OFF the minimap icon and getting it to stay off?

azonia A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 32 Uploads: 1	Further testing with the icon duplication problem shows that any addon using the updated ldbicon library will cause spamsentry to have 2 icons. Looks like there was a change in version 7 or 8 that broke spam sentry's ldb code. I tried changing the version in spam sentry's libraries, but that didn't help, so for now I'm downgrading ldbicon library in all of my other addons to version 6.

azonia A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 32 Uploads: 1	I've installed the newest bigwigs bossmods and for some reason it causes SpamSentry to duplicate its icon. This is with broker2fubar installed, so I get an icon on the fubar and on the minimap. Not sure which mod is the culprit here. note: I rolled back the ldbicon library included with bigwigs (rev: 8) to the one that spamsentry uses (rev: 6) and that made the problem go away.

Good for you. But as I said, I find that with as much as addons are coded, recoded, and often conflict with one another, I see that assertion as highly impractical and unrealistic.

Add in that I use a number of fairly unique addons that have fallen into disuse and disrepair but are at present irreplaceable, and there you have it.

In any case, few of these errors make any part of my interface unusable, so I don't generally care much about them.

And on the odd occasion where one of them does matter, I want an error catcher there recording it, but not shoving it in my face along with the 5-10 other inconsequential errors I receive regularly.

The setting's there, but if I recall the last time I tried that, the problem was it just didn't report or record anything either. It's like turning it off.

I don't want it off, I just don't want it in my face every five seconds. I want to be able to read it when I choose. So far the only error catcher that I've seen that does this reliably is ImprovedErrorFrame- which the understandable concession that it's reports aren't too verbose.

I presented that thought to the Swatter team, and I recall the response I got was something along the lines of "you shouldn't have errors popping up that often".

And my retort was something along the line of "you try having 200+ addons installed and see if you don't get at least five errors a session."

But anyway, to make a long story short, they ignored me.
