About SpamSentry - Anti goldspam

SpamSentry by Anea

This addon stops goldspam messages from showing. You can use a one-click report system to create a GM-ticket for the caught spammers. Both spammers and bots can be reported manually as well.

Version 20080525
- Updated French localisation
- SpamSentry icon now turns red when spam has been found
- Fixed small bug with titanpanel
- Updated filters

Installation:

Unzip the file into your 'Interface/Addons' folder.

Features:

Detects multi-message spam
Customizable notification
FuBar and Titan support
Manual reporting of players you suspect to be a goldseller / bot / violating naming rules
Report-button in mailframe to report spam send to you by in-game mail
Seperate reportlists are maintained for each realm you play on
And many more

Use:

Type /sentry for options, or right-click the minimap/fubar/titan icon
right-click a name and select "Report spam" to manually add that player to the spamreportlist.

How to help: This addon is as good as the feedback it gets. Please inform me when spam got through, or when a legitimate message got blocked.

If a spam-message isn't recognised:

 - Report the spammer by right-clicking the name in the chat window and selecting "Report Spam"
 - Type /sentry spam feedback <name of the spammer>
 - Send me a PM with the code sequence

If you encounter a false positive:

 - Click the message in SpamSentry main-window
 - Send me a PM containing that message

Installation Guide

Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
  - StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start World of Warcraft
Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

Any chance of an auto-report feature for gold spam events (a bit like BadBoy's)? I've been using SpamSentry for as long as I can remember (back in the days when GM tickets had to be raised). In the 1000+ spam events spamsentry has captured I've yet to see a single false positive (SpamSentry's excellent filters I guess).

It would also be handy if spamsentry used a mod channel to coordinate blocking of currently active spammers, allowing spamsentry users to (optionally?) temporarily auto-ignore spammers before ever receiving any spam (for say 15 minutes to minimise the impact of any unlikely false positives).

Keep up the good work :)

I noticed this too. It's happened with a few other mods in my favourites too.

Lately, gold spammers found a new way to bypass my SpamSentry addon:
they whisper you "hey" first, then there is a long pause, then ask you if you want to buy gold but in a more friendly way than normal. But there is no way to manually add someone to my spamlist. Can you add such a feature, or did I overlook such a feature already present? Since I also use an addon(ForgottenChat) to arrange my whipers, I cannot right click on his name to report him either.

Hello Burnin,

That's actually a feature of the Blizzard client, not SpamSentry. When you report someone to Blizzard that person and all other characters from the same account will be ignored by the client for the rest of your session.

Seems when I report someone for spamming, that's the last I ever hear from them...

I've ran into situations, where I've reported someone to speaking crude, then go to PST, they respond, but I cannot see what they are saying... I've had them log on alts to tell me, this... So, how can I remove players from this, block list? I can't see to figure this out.

(They aren't blocked by the ignore list, nor can I receive their messages when I disable the mod (via FuBar) in-game (without restarting), and no other mods that control spam, or ignoring people.)

Hi Anea,

Is it possible for you to update the channels for French language please ?

You have to correct a few words :
"cannaux" with "canaux",
"recherchegroupe" with "RechercheDeGroupe",
"recrutementguilde" with "RecrutementDeGuilde",
"counters" with "Compteurs",
"ignore by level" with "ignorer par niveau",
and "ignore party invite" with "ignorer le groupage sauvage".

Thanks for your great work !

Drak

There we go; second update of the day, again with a fix in WhoLib. This should sort out the line 296-problem, and hopefully restore peace and quiet on the world of Azeroth :)

@Bergoth & Gruffness:
If you get a script-error indicating line 294 of WhoLib you're most likely using another addon that has WhoLib embedded. Unfortunately WhoLib has versioning-issues which cause the error. There are two ways to solve the problem:
- Wait for updates of your addon(s)
- Manually copy the WhoLib from SpamSentry to all relevant addons
