Just a quick question;
I was using an older version of SpamSentry. However, whilever it was enabled, Friends, Guild, and such lists wouldn't dynamically update when sorting was changed. I had to close and reopen, or scroll the box to get it to update. Is this issue fixed in the current version?

I'm not sure if this is related, but when an item or player link is at the bottom of the chat panel (i.e. on the bottom visible line), i'm unable to click it, and must wait for a new line of text to appear before i can click it. It seems somewhat like the above issue.

These are the only issues holding me back from using it (whereas i absolutely love the mod itself).

Many thanks for putting in the time and effort. It's one of those things that does what it does, and it's really appreciated by me, and many other's.

Best regards,
Chronalis, Ghostlands EU.

Hi Anea, and thanks for the fantastic add-on. I was curious: do you have any plans for filtering other types of spam, instead of just gold seller spam? For instance: casinos, [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker], Chuck Norris spam, and murloc spam? For casinos, I'd like to see them blocked all the time, and for the latter 3, maybe some kind of flood protection would be more appropriate. Ie. allow such chat for a few lines, but if everyone in trade chat starts just starts spamming [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker] for the next 10 minutes, then SpamSentry should block that as well, for a predefined amount of time.

Thank you for your consideration.

Thank you for authoring and maintaining this addon. I enjoy using this addon a great deal. I think I sympathize with Drai, please allow WoWMatrix to distribute this addon. I feel that I understand some of the conflicts of the past; Yet, I think you might be pleasantly surprised with how their program works now. I feel that the issues from the past might be irrelevant now. I think that you might disregard this comment, and others like it, but I think it is important to give feedback. Thank you again for your time and energy.

I have just updated SpamSentry to address various issues that have been reported in the past few weeks.

Drai: It is a fair question, but I do not intend to support wowmatrix or other addon-managers.

WowMatrix is for lazy users who obviously doesn't have any respect for addon authors and Curse nor WoWInterface. You do not have to update your addons every day, most often not every week, sometimes not every month.

Both Curse and Wowinterface have blocked wowmatrix, so that addons cannot be update with it. This forces all players who use that utility to hand-install addons. If an addon is licensed with a free license like GPL, wowmatrix will be able store the addon on their servers, allowing people to update it automatically. Or you (the author) can simply contact them (wowmatrix dot com) and just give them permission to store it on there servers.

There are a *lot* of people who use wowmatrix. Many guilds require members to run it before starting wow for raids.

*please* consider letting wowmatrix work with your addon. There will be no change to code.

thanks

Question:

When I manually right click on a spammer and report them, it is added to a list instead of being reported at once - is there a way to avoid it being added to the list but forced to be reported NOW ?

Spahut

Here is a request:

When you are told to click on a link to bring up the report window, I'd like a feature to see the "clear" button disabled.

So many times I end up clicking on that instead of reporting the spammers and then its too late..

I have been slacking a bit the past two weeks due to busy work. I'll look into the LDB-icon issue this weekend. Should not be too hard to fix once SpamSentry is using the up-to-date version of the lib again.

Thank you all for the detailed feedback!

azonia

For now, the quick and dirty way is to do a search in your addons directory for the file "LibDBIcon-1.0.lua"

Replace all versions of this file with the one included with SpamSentry.

I'm sure there's a better fix, but this works for me.

So is there a straightforward resolution to turning OFF the minimap icon and getting it to stay off?

azonia

Further testing with the icon duplication problem shows that any addon using the updated ldbicon library will cause spamsentry to have 2 icons. Looks like there was a change in version 7 or 8 that broke spam sentry's ldb code. I tried changing the version in spam sentry's libraries, but that didn't help, so for now I'm downgrading ldbicon library in all of my other addons to version 6.

azonia

I've installed the newest bigwigs bossmods and for some reason it causes SpamSentry to duplicate its icon. This is with broker2fubar installed, so I get an icon on the fubar and on the minimap. Not sure which mod is the culprit here.

*note: I rolled back the ldbicon library included with bigwigs (rev: 8) to the one that spamsentry uses (rev: 6) and that made the problem go away.

Good for you. But as I said, I find that with as much as addons are coded, recoded, and often conflict with one another, I see that assertion as highly impractical and unrealistic.

Add in that I use a number of fairly unique addons that have fallen into disuse and disrepair but are at present irreplaceable, and there you have it.

In any case, few of these errors make any part of my interface unusable, so I don't generally care much about them.

And on the odd occasion where one of them does matter, I want an error catcher there recording it, but not shoving it in my face along with the 5-10 other inconsequential errors I receive regularly.

Visceroid

I have 143 folders (embeded libraries) in my addon directory (without the blizzard ones) and usually have 0 errors when playing :P Might be addon conflicts that are causing them but usually you don't have that many errors when everything is working right.
