Paste this code into the AddonSpamFu:AddMessage( function just before the local dataLen = strlen(origPrefix) + strlen(msg) line.

if self.recordToSavedVariables then
	if not self.db.profile.AddonSpamLog then
		self.db.profile.AddonSpamLog = {}
	elseif #self.db.profile.AddonSpamLog == 500 then
		table.remove(self.db.profile.AddonSpamLog, 1)
	end
	table.insert(self.db.profile.AddonSpamLog, ((showRenamedPrefix and prefix..": [") or "[")..origPrefix.."]["..msg.."]["..msgtype.."]"..destination.."["..name.."]")
end

To enable logging, type this into your Chat window:

/script AddonSpamFu.recordToSavedVariables=true

To disable, type this:

/script AddonSpamFu.recordToSavedVariables=nil

The information is only stored in memory until you log out or reload your UI, then you can view the logged information by opening up the AddonSpamFu savedvariables file with a text editor and looking for the start of the "AddonSpamLog" table. This is the only way for an addon to record information for view outside of the game.

You should empty this log when you don't need its contents anymore by running the following command:

/script AddonSpamFu.db.profile.AddonSpamLog = nil

Otherwise the log will keep only the 500 most recent entries.

This is all drycoded and untested code

~= is "not equal to"

It would communicate with anyone in your guild, Raid, BattleGround, or party.

Unfortunately, there's no really good way to determine what addon is sending the "k?" prefixed message without help from the user sending it.

Since the prefix appears to be random characters, it is probably an Ace2 addon using AceComm.

I don't think it would be such a good idea to record all messages to a file since it could get very large very fast. Perhaps a screenshot of an expanded chat window would suffice?

I think it might be gladiator using a blank prefix, or what seems to be blank.

Thanks, got it.

Thanks, that should have been obvious...

I also had to disable QuestsFu. Its syncing logic is messed up and it seems to go spam crazy sometimes. It also frustrated me that it still tried to sync even when party sharing was disabled.

Download Manage & View My Addons and use it to determine which addons use Babble. Delete these addons.

Or turn off the Automatic Dependency Download option in WowAceUpdater.

Have you checked out the 2.3 patch on the PTR? They're making some changes to the tracking system.

Self never refers to the addon using a library when within the library.

http://www.wowwiki.com/Object_Oriented_Programming#Metatables

Note the part about functions (methods) with colons.

function.method(self,parameter1,parameter2) is the same as function:method(parameter1,parameter2)

self is still available in the latter, but hidden. It's just syntax.

(Forgive me if I'm wrong, I can't find the right link)

If you have a single resource hungry addon such as Recount, and you let it run for a long time, its memory usage will become huge. Recount should be reset regularly. If you're using Recount with embedded libraries, its resource usage could be attributed to any other addon which is using the same libraries.

LibRockComm-1.0 Sends the prefix TAL as part of it's function RockComm:QueryTalents

Thanks :) It seems to use UnT and VER also.

msg:match("item:2244:")

GuildMap used to work with Cartographer, providing dots on your minimap.

I doubt that it still works with the recent changes to Cartographer's communications.

Constantly communicating your position among guild mates is inefficient.
