[Addon] ChatSanitizer - An answer to gold spamming

Recommended Posts

Thanks for the addon, haven't gotten a single whisper on Zeth since installed.

Possible to add a small count on hover of the minimap button with # of blocked or show last 10 blocked like the fubar integration you implemented so it's more stand-alone?

I keep getting some random LUA error at times. It happens whenever my mouse hovers over the minimap button for ChatSanitizer. I am using your newest version of the addon.

Rhena, Thanks for making this.. I'll have to give it a try. One of the biggest problems with SpamThrottle is that it blocks a lot of legitimate messages, even from people on your friends list. Do you anticipate this addon having the same issue, and if so, is there a setting we can use to see what messages have been filtered? (i.e. "color messages rather than hiding")

This... 
I was wondering why no one would join my LBRS, then i looked at my G510 LCD and i have whispers from a tooooon of people.

I will try this addon.

Auto whitelisting of friends/guild is one of the upcoming features. So far the only false positives have been tanking/guild ads that were structured like gold spam. But I have already adjusted the weighting for that.

How can i detect that it is goldspam if those chinese aren't even able to type their url anymore?

Yeah, I just tried this addon as I'm getting tons of spam through SpamThrottle today.  Unfortunately the same spam is making it through this as well.

It's clear they're learning how to get past the popular addons by doing this extremely broken english.

I guess this won't be fixed soon because the WoW chatframe doesn't allow for messages to be retroactively removed. The only solution i could come up with right now would be to throttle incoming messages but the next step of the chinese would be to throttle theirs as well, resulting in major chatlag. So for now i suggest to use the ".wr on" command.

Is it possible to share the info about spammers with other addon users via separate comm channel and then perform DDOS on spammer so he'll be disconnected from server through overload?

This addon will never have any comm capabilities. And neither should any other be used that has it. It only takes one jerk to spam names into that channel breaking the whole system.

And you are not seriously asking for DDOS on this forum?...

Besides whitelisting guild and friends, is it possible to block whispers by level?

Say you have setting to block whispers from levels 1-59. It would whisper them "I'm not currently accepting whispers from levels between 1-59."
That's pretty much all I need with whitelisting.
