SmartAddonBlocker

Version: 4.0a

by: Aeldra [More]

SmartAddonBlocker
Created by Aeldra (EU-Proudmoore)

Automaticly ignore players temporary which use spam-addons.

SmartAddonBlocker is only active in raid by default. It tries to detect raid bosses and automaticly activates itself if the combat starts.
After combat it automaticly deactivates itself and removes the players of the ignore list.

Beware! This addon will put 50-80% of your raid on ignore temporary.
But it is the only way to block these addon spam messages by the server, before they reach your client and you get disconnected.

Thanks to Belae of Khaz'goroth-US for Ignore Addon Spam.

The easy answer is "it won't be needed", but I can imagine scenarios where a player would still want to ignore high-traffic addons during (say) a boss fight, but allow those addons to receive data at other times. Thoughts, anyone?

I get stuff like below and it's said to be from BigWigs.

You have misunderstood the point of this addon. That's not the kind of "spam" that SAB is designed to block.

Currently if the player gets disconnected during combat, the ignored people will permanently stay ignored unless the player happens to remember to unignore them all, by hand.

If so, you can use ChatFrame_AddMessageEventFilter to filter the messages instead of ignoring people completely.

No DBM spam gets not ignored.
Ignore the players is the only way to block addon spam messages by the server. In all other cases the spam will still sent to your client.

Thanks for the info! Not nice of this addon, but I found a workround, by hooking the orginal functions at startup. Seems to work and implemented in the next version.
