Cirk's Badapples
Badapples allows you to record the names (and optional reasons) of players you've encountered (or even been told about) who are, shall we say not the most sterling examples of social and gaming etiquette in action, and whom you'd really rather avoid grouping with, or dealing with at all ever again. Badapples is an alternative to ignore in that you will still see everything relating to that player as you would have before, but you will now have visual feedback to help you distinguish the badapples from the good. Badapples maintains its list of player names on a per server basis, so you won't need to add the same player again for each of your own characters.
Some of the features of Badapples are:
Highlights the name of players seen in chat if they are Badapples (and shows their status with reason if you click on the player's name in the chat frame).
Highlights the name of players in your target box if they are Badapples.
Highlights the name of players in your mouseover Tooltip if they are Badapples.
Allows you to choose the color used for the highlighting of player names.
Gives you a warning message with the names of party members who are on your Badapples list (or on your Ignore list) when you join a party (or when they join).
Gives you a warning message with the names of any raid members who are on your Badapples list (or on your Ignore list) when you join a raid (or when they join).
Shows a confirmation popup if you are about to invite someone who is on your Badapples or Ignore lists.
Shows a different invitation popup if you are being invited by someone on your Badapples list.
Provides a new tab in the social window next to the Friends and Ignore tabs for easy viewing and management of your Badapples list. (Alternative tab positions at the bottom of the social window or on the right side are still supported if you prefer).
Badapples also does not perform any checks on player names passed to it, so you can even add the names of players from the "other" side (Horde names if you are Alliance for example) to help keep track of them as well. However it does only check for player names that match those in its list, so although you can add NPC names, it won't ever show them in the highlights as actually being Badapples).
Badapples slash commands
Badapples supports the following slash commands (also available as /bad):
/badapples help shows these options. /badapples list shows the list of player names in your Badapples list. /badapples show brings up the Badapples list social window (useful if you turn off the social tab). /badapples add <playername> [reason] adds a player to your Badapples list. /badapples remove <playername> removes a player from your Badapples list. /badapples check <playername> or /badapples status <playername> shows whether this player is on your Badapples list or not. /badapples removeall allows you to remove all players from your Badapples list. /badapples color allows you to set the highlight color that Badapples uses to flag players on your list. /badapples notab disables the Badapples social tab. /badapples toggletab allows you to toggle the Badapples social tab between the friends, bottom, and side positions.
I hope you find it useful!

Moved all of Badapples' functions into a single global table.
Fixed bug where the alert icon doesn't get shown properly due to the way the static popup was being resized (thanks pzykho).
Badapples will only show you one warning message in the first chat frame it finds that is being shown (again thanks pzykho).
Renamed exported function BadapplesCheck to Badapples.CheckName
Renamed exported function BadapplesColor to Badapples.GetColor
When I'm in a group and other people join I get a message "Party member Unknown is on your Ignore list". None of the people that join are on my ignore list (neither Bad Apple's list or the normal Blizzard ignore list).
Would it be feasible to add the ability to add entire guilds to the bad apples list, so that everyone in that guild would show up as if they were a bad apple, without having to add every member individually?
Or are guilds not available without a /who or similar query, making this not so feasible?
This seems to have a bug with patch 3.2. When you invite someone on your BA list to group, it pulls up a pop-up confirmation window. In the window the option to continue and invite them doesn't do anything.
Badapples 3.1.0 uploaded. No functional changes as such. I did add an entry for Badapples into Blizzard's interface addons page however, updated the help text a bit, and removed the "loaded" announcement.
Hi kimmisc, I'm still updating Badapples (I use it myself) but typically only when it needs to be, rather than on every patch, since RL tends to conspire against my coding time (let alone play time). At any rate, just turn on "Load out-of-date addons" in your Addons screen, and Badapples should keep functioning just fine.
As for those annoying and impossible to type names, the easiest thing is to just type "/bad add " on the chat line (but don't hit enter) then shift-left-click the offenders name in the chat window, and the game will automatically paste that player's name into the chat window. Then continue typing in a reason (if you want one) or just hit enter, and job done!
Dessa, I've not (yet) been able to reproduce that crash at all yet - guessing it only happens if you are in combat and -something- else happens...
1 - please keep this mod running. I don't have the patience to function without this type of mod in WoW.
2 - please add in right click functionality for adding names to the list. I can't type all those names with the crazy symbols over the letters, and about 9 times out of 10, those are the idiots I want on my blacklist.
i get that when im in a raid, opening the raid tab:

i have no idea maybe i was in combat and i didn't noticed that error happening, or maybe its happening when not in combat too, no idea, really
Is there anyway to disable the dialog box warning that pops up when you join a party or raid with Bad Apples in it? I'd prefer to just see a players apple status in the tooltip and my chat frame. Also, I kind of like using BA to make notes on players that are good so essentially not all my bad apples are really that rotten.
Wiggle, Badapples should retain your previous entries from 2.4 without you needing to do anything. You don't need to delete anything in your WTF folder for a Badapples update
