HI, after 17 Gold Whispers in the space of 30mins, ive come up with an idea, now im not a coder, and dont claim to be...
What about, a Mod to Block Whispers from a certain level and below, say any toon below lvl10, unless they are in your guild or on your Friends list. Maybe would be nice to give players say levels of blocks, say lvl1-10 11-20 this im sure will stop 99% of Gold Whispers. As i cant see them wanting to level just to spam gold whispers
Or is there a mod that can do this already, if so plix help!!!!!!!!
I dont want a total block on whispers, just specified levels if thats at all possible...
Personally I'm using SpamSentry at the moment, it's pretty good at blocking (and helping me report) the spammers. Few false negatives and a bit counterintuitive unblocking people and stuff, but I'm definitely better off!
Blocking by level is an interesting idea though, it wouldn't be hard to do.
I believe the mod would have to pull off a /who, which, without something like QueueWho, would fail if you got spammed too much.
I would think a fairly intelligent mod with blacklists for certain expressions that were very common in gold seller whispers would be the best solution.

You shouldn't need to do a /who. You get the unit name from the whisper event and call UnitLevel() on it?

or wouldnt that work?
UnitLevel() does not take a name as it's argument. It takes a unit id such as "player", "target" and "focus".
Spamsentry works ok most of the time, but still has a lot of limitations.
- doesnt always catch spam in /1
- anyone spamming you normally, will be reported as a goldseller as well.
- cant report bots yet (i think)
Um, you might want to look at it again.
I have not seen any spam in /1 since installed it. I used to see it 2 - 3 times a day at least.
They have updated even more on filtering so should not catch false spam. Hell, I dont want anyone spamming me anyways, so happy to have them caught.
It can report bots.
Basically, the only place I have seen any spam since I have installed it, is in the ingame e-mail. But there you have a button to report the spam as well.
Good hunting to ya.
