Before you stroll off and go "Oh! - It's just another one of those anti-spam plugins :/", I want to tell you that this plugin is different. Other plugins count how many times each player sends a chat message, and the contents of that chat message and calculates whether to kick the player or not. Now, the problem with that is that some people have a multiple accounts, and each account will execute a chat message at a good interval, meaning to the anti-spam plugin, people are chatting normally, but in your server chat, it's chaos.
AntiSpamPlus fixes this problem. It counts how many messages the whole server sends, and isolates spammers by muting, kicking or banning them. Now, you might ask, what if the spam message is a little bit different every time? Don't worry! AntiSpamPlus has a built in system that will grade each message between a 1-100, where 1 is not at all the same, and 100 is exactly the same. AntiSpamPlus will use this information to isolate messages sent by spammers and take action against those accounts.
Installation
Drag and drop AntiSpamPlus into your /plugins directory and your done! It will automatically generate a configuration file for you to use
Data Logging
This plugin uses a metrics system which automatically sends the plugin and it's version to a secure site for statistics. You may disable this feature in the configuration by disabling data-logging. Please note that no personal information is collected!
To-Do List:
- Work on spamming programs which excecute a different message each time
- Improve Documentation
- Improve Spam Detection System
If anyone would like to help with the development of this plugin, please PM me.
- Update: I am currently doing a complete re-write of this plugin to make it a complete solution (This will be the only anti-spam plugin needed), Please expect this to take some time. No new updates will be cranked out until the crude version of this is complete. Thanks.
