Cataclysm ends trade spam

Just thought I should show you guys this, Cataclysm kills multi-line trade spam, you're allowed 2 lines of public chat every 30 seconds.



In other news, BadBoy v6 a.k.a. "the phishing killer" will soon be ready, featuring improved anti-phishing and anti-goldspam filters.

Reporting helps everyone on the server, so no. This addon is designed to help Blizzard disable hacked accounts, and to server-mute gold spammers by reporting them X amount of times.

On top of that the addon is designed around reporting, the report is needed so you mute that account, if it didn't report you'd see more spam from that specific person without BadBoy blocking it. This follow up spam isn't added to the database as it's not needed, simply because that person should be reported before it.

I'm not entirely sure how telling me helps you, find the culprit then tell us.

It doesn't "get through". That filter is working exactly as intended, unless you want me to start reporting everyone selling in trade It waits until the website/advertisement is spammed and reports it. I could block off the last line before the report, but then people would think it was reporting innocents, which it isn't.

Yes it's been bad the past couple of days, the latest versions should be killing the latest stuff now.

Only the most obvious ones will get reported, the rest you should do manually. This is because there is no consistency between various adverts to make viable filters that don't register innocents.

Some examples of spam I still see

And Post It To Trade
So It's All 1 Big Block
Can This Be Filtered
In It's Entirety


I also saw a person do this in Icecrown Citadel /1 General Chat

-Edit..Apparently I can't make the words wrap..but I think you get the idea..
