BadBoy Crap Cleaner is a plugin to BadBoy for removing crap from your chat without reporting

Currently will scan all official Blizzard custom channels only (gen/trade/etc) and filters out the following:

• anal [item]
• rectum [item]
• [item] in bed
• My [Willy] something [something]

• Any line spammed more than one (anti-macro feature)

If you wish to have things added to the filter, please post the entire line of the chat. If it's not in English, please post the line & a translation.

Available on Curse & WoWI.

The name BadBoy_CCleaner is inspired from the much loved freeware windows program CCleaner which is used by millions of people to remove crap from their computers.

That's more like a replacement thing than anything else.

Quote from sylvanaar

Filtering is replacing with nothing.

Don't kid yourself, filtering is in no way intending replacing. In every day use such as spreadsheets, databases, filters are used to remove unneeded entries.

Please stop spamming my thread.

A swear filter, also known as a profanity filter, is a part of some internet programs which modifies a user's text to remove words deemed offensive

This addon is not a swear filter, not is it for replacing words. It's for, funnily enough:

Filter crap from chat

and as so, I won't be integrating your suggestion.

V2 - New anti-macro feature, now strips any spammed lines in trade/gen/etc down to 1 line.

Quote from sylvanaar

How do you determine what 1 line is?

For the moment it simply matches the previous line to the current line if the line ID's are different.

Hmm I'm not sure how I could go about that, somewhat more challenging since the messages seem to always be different.

Here's a typical screenshot of trade chat on my server:



Is there any way BadBoy_CCleaner could be improved to filter that kind of moronic spam? The latest version filters messages which are identical, as you've stated, but perhaps it could be improved a bit to combat cases such as in the above screenshot. Any ideas?

Should no longer be a problem in v2.1.0

v2.1.1: Added "[item] in bed" variants to the filter

v2.1.2: Added "My [Willy] something [something]" variants
