I found it IS possible to add general chat to the list of channels which sentry looks at. The only problem is that the options for channels (channellist, add, etc) didn't work for me.

What I did was open up the spamsentry.lua file in your \WTF\Account\youraccountname\SavedVariables folder and changed from:

SS_ChannelList = {
[1] = "whisper",
[2] = "say",
[3] = "yell",
}

to

SS_ChannelList = {
[1] = "whisper",
[2] = "say",
[3] = "yell",
[4] = "general",
}

That worked for me. Other then that, brilliant addon. Love it and spamming myself now to let everyone use it :P Seriously, I hate those goldspammers

edit:
thanks mate for the update

For this i have made 2 simple macro's with puts a message in general chat to. They spam there ads and i simply respond by telling players that is a fraud and the don't do what they promised and that they only sell lies.

This is kinda spamming to. But nevertheless... All goldsellers and gold farmers are coming from Korea, China and so on.. Blizzard only needs to do a little IP range check and a lot of problems are solved....

If u ask me.

p.s.

I truly hate the whispers and the spams in my chat window. I understand that they have kids to feed, but to ruin people's fun by that kind of feeding removes my respect to that kind of people. It is a way of robbing fun from peoples hard earned spare time...


GG all...

Cya

I really like SpamSentry it has been great vs. gold sellers in whispers..

BUT..
Now with the global LFG channel gone, goldseller spammers are using general channel too, yesterday I tried to report a spammer of general but SpamSentry said that it has nothing cached, so SpamSentry couldn't report him..

Is it possible to add such a feature that also checks general channel for gold selling spam..?

Great addon.Thankyou

A lot easier to 'Click here' to report <Long name with no vowels> selling gold

Only issue I've had is trying to report a bot.I had a GM reply along the lines of

"We are happy you have nothing to report,however......"

Not sure what that was about but I must concede 'Operator Error' may have played a large part in this.

Thanks - Have a nice Xmas

I was using another mod to do this recently but it also blocked out the whispers of a GM when I tried to speak to one. Does this allow speaking to GMs?

LOVE the addon! Yesterday it blocked 2 gold-spammers and was *very* easy to report to a GM. Thank you for your work, I've been looking for something like this to filter the multi-line in-game spam.
