Smolderforge Support Community

Dear community,

I've seen a lot of this in the chat lately:

[4. LookingForGroup] [ImEpic] LF TANK BT NOW WE GO
[4. LookingForGroup] [ImEpic]LF TANK BT NOW WE GO
[4. LookingForGroup] [ImEpic]LF TANK BT NOW WE GO
[4. LookingForGroup] [ImEpic]LF TANK BT NOW WE GO
[4. LookingForGroup] [ImEpic]LF TANK BT NOW WE GO
[4. LookingForGroup] [ImEpic]LF TANK BT NOW WE GO

That's true, spammers.
Now we have this Report Spam function, but we want a system that does this automatically.
So what i'm going to do is building a system that will log all chat.

The system checks the log for identical chats and when it has more than 2 withing a time range of 30 seconds it will block your chat for 1 minute.

We will be adding more features to this system but tell me what you think about it!


Sincerely,

FINALLY! ILY DARKGROOM

I'm Blindsanity, and I approve this message.

Wow that's harsh, this will upset many people...
I like that! :]

cool,i like it too

Thats great news :) thank you Darkgroom!

Darkgroom, I LOVE what you've done here, but keep in mind,

When I'm puging a raid, I hit my macro approximately every 15 seconds. Now, it isn't a r-tard macro, it's "LFG for Kara, need # tanks, # dps, #healers, etc." So it's a good macro, as opposed to that spam shit, but when chat is REALLY active, once every 30 seconds... :/

Now, needless to say, If there's no chat activity it is drawn out a bit longer, like once every 45 sec. or so.

Just something to put in there.

The repeating message time will be between 5 and 10 seconds, as you press that macro every 15 seconds it will be fine for sure!

I'm planning to release this function this weekend, stay tuned.
