Haleth Look at the post   Forum posts: 800 File comments: 859 Uploads: 17	Do you think you could by any chance add an option to disable opening a whisper chat when clicking the name in the blocked spam message, and let the whole message trigger the report on click? I somehow always find myself clicking the name rather than 'Click to report'. Not a big deal, but hey.

I suggest you practice doing so before reporting errors. I'm not sure why it's doing that, I very definitely updated on both my machines after you changed things to accomodate the reporting change. Further, I've seen no problems on either machine. I meant it as a compliment, because almost all of my other addons throw errors at least once in a while, and that was the first time I'd seen one here. Sorry if I offended.

funkydude A Deviate Faerie Dragon   Forum posts: 10 File comments: 341 Uploads: 27	Why don't I "blackhole" it? See the 2nd sentence in my rant a few posts down. BadBoy was never designed with the intention of hiding spam, the reason I made it 4 years ago was to get it reported, clean up the realms and get the hacked accounts being used to spam shut down asap. Turning a blind eye (a.k.a. hiding the spam) helps absolutely no one at all. Now I'm currently faced with the "moral" decision whether or not I should allow the message to be hidden. As to your issue with character related spam, recent versions have made a few strides in improving protection against it, but if it really is coming up as question marks, it sounds more to me like Chinese symbols rather than the usual character replacement. Chinese gold spam isn't that uncommon, I believe you'll have to use a compatible font to read it though (and preferably, report it to me to fix it) :/ Originally Posted by Ratso Steamwheedle You know, why not just re-engineer this addon to blackhole the spam? Don't notify me that you blocked it, don't give me an option to report it, just make like it was never there. Afterall, if we're successfully blocking the spam client-side, why do we need to report it to Blizz? Out-of-sight, out-of-mind. On a side note, gold sellers (and character services) are slipping through the filters by typing in English using foreign character sets. I can't copy and paste it but a lot of the time it looks like a series of questions marks overlapping each other before and after a description of what they're selling. Curious if anyone has seen this and if it's un-blockable. A lot of the time it's just garbage (i.e. like they're failing in there advertising and don't know it) and sometimes it is halfway legible.

BadBoy will add a message to your chat with a link for you to click to report the player. I strongly encourage everyone to do so. I know it's annoying, but that's what Blizzard likes to do Originally Posted by Skiver Can you break it down for us? Does this mean this addon is now worthless? Or will it still report the spam and block it from our account?

To celebrate, Blizzard has removed the ability for addons to automatically report spam in patch 4.3.4! As if it wasn't enough that Blizzard haven't added any of my API requests to make spam filtering easier, they've gone out of their way to make it even harder... It's as if they don't appreciate the thousands of hacked accounts this addon has helped them shut down and stop spamming their realms. When you report someone, you can no longer see any chat from them. However, when many people report someone, they are placed on a "global mute". Which means they can no longer spam the server, this benefits people that aren't using BadBoy as well, unfortunately, this will no longer be the case. If you're as shocked and suprised by this move as I am, and you have a US account, I ask you to take to the forums and complain to Blizzard about this, unfortunately, I don't have a US account to do that (EU). The good old addon "SpamSentry" which BadBoy was originally (sort-of) based on used to print a message in chat and ask you to report the player, I've decided to take this step also. I really hope it's not too intrusive to you all, and I beg of you to please click the report link to report the spammers. The more people that do it, the higher the chance the spammer will be globally muted. Many thanks to everyone that has helped reporting spam to me over the past 4 years, and again, I hope this message isn't too intrusive!
