Honestly I don't care for BAS. Used it for a while and I just don't like a spam addon that's not explicit in its reasoning. I want to know what's being reported and why.

As for the matter of auto-reporting, the queue in SpamSentry is easy enough to empty occasionally.

Honestly except for the plague of False Positives (which is really out of character for the history of this addon's development), I still think SpamSentry is the tops.

I'll have to keep an eye on it. I get them quite often in cities, where Trade is obviously turned on. But I've had a number of valentines day related tells get caught in the filter. Heart mending requests and such.

Honestly though, in only one or two cases could I see how the tell would have been filtered. One for instance was a suggestion for a confused individual to use Wowhead.com. But lately about 90% of what the filter catches isn't spam, really. If I have five things on the report list, four of them are probably false positives.

Like I said, I'll see if I can collect a few examples for you.

Bang AntiSpam offers automatic reporting without user intervention, however, in that add-on I do miss the option to configure a safe auto-reporting level limit (e.g. suspected spam from lvl 1 toons are auto-reported, while spam text from higher level characters is displayed for verification by the user before reporting).

I see the reason why people are asking for auto-reporting, for example, on my server the spam situation is so bad that I get gold spam every two to five minutes while I'm in a big city, and to be honest I prefer auto reporting everything than having to deal with various pop-ups and confirmation messages.

And right now, the fact that I'm probably auto-reporting some false positives does not prevent me from using BAS even though I'm convinced that the spam filter in SpamSentry is much more reliable. Whenever I leave my comp unattended for a few minutes (e.g. when I'm scanning the Auction House with Auctioneer) I usually find three or more spam messages caught by SpamSentry when I return to the game, and I am unable to report the first few because too much time has passed by then. This is the main reason why I am using BAS instead of SpamSentry now (not to mention the removal of bot reporting from SpamSentry).

So I think adding a level limit for auto-reporting would prevent people from auto-reporting false positives. My last false positives were from a lvl 19 twink character and a lvl 80 character in Dalaran - all other lvl 1 spam messages were real spam.

I hope you are a kid and not an adult with that selfish attitude.

The new version still seems to be throwing some very strange false positives.

Well, I seem to have managed to get the wholib problem sorted out (which required abandoning an addon I rather liked), now onto a different issue:

SpamSentry appears to be throwing a LOT more false positives than I remember. Months ago, I remember the ratio being about 1:10 false positive-to-correct ratio. Now it's about reversed.

What's up?

That makes sense, don't run into bots now as often as I used to aswell. Thanks for the fast reply.

I was wondering why it's not possible to report bots with spamsentry anymore?

oh i see, i cant send it because this happend some days ago and i dont have the string anymore. if i see it again i will send you a pm.

Line 7: "an other WhoLib is already running - disable them first!" (LibWho-2.0.lua)
Line 15: "Cannot find a Library instance of 'LibWho-2.0.'" (SpamSentry/core.lua)

Line 68: "attempt to index field 'db' (a nil value)" (BrokerPlugin.lua)
Line 111: "attempt to get length of field 'spamReportList' (a nil value)" (BrokerPlugin.lua)

All this results in not being able to call the configuration window- not even with a slash command- and the broker plugin not even showing up in Broker2Fubar and thus anywhere in my interface. I've been a longtime fan of your addon, but this makes it basically unusable.

And as I said before, I am using a slightly older version of WIM (3.03, I believe) but this is because if I use anything later than that, it also breaks.

Been using BANG!AntiSpam to cover the annoyances, but I don't like that it isn't terribly verbose- all I get is a popup asking if I want to report some name for spamming, but not the text of the spam so I can tell if it's a false positive.
