Updates

So I have recently gotten back into Minecraft and plan on re-doing this entire plugin to better allow integration for servers and other plugins, but I will start once this who DMCA is resolved and bukkit is being once actively updated again.

Title Current Available Version: 1.0.1
Version(s) Awaiting BukkitDev Approval: N/A

About the plugin

ChatProtection+ was created by me for another server, that was looking for a way to prevent spam bots from spamming their chat, and commands. ChatProtection+ eventually evolved from a simple anti-spam plugin to a more versatile plugin that allows server administrators the amount of capital letters a user is allowed to use in their messages. ChatProtection+ is still a growing plugin, and is open to suggestions!

How to Use

All you have to do is download the plugin from the "download" button to the right, and place it in you plugins folder. If you want to use permissions, and you do not already have Vault, then you will have to go download Vault and install it as well. The Configuration file will be created when the plugin first starts.

Questions and Answers

Q: How does the Anti-Spam exactly work?
A: The Anti-Spam works in two ways. It prevents users/bots from repeating the same message over, and over, and over, but also compares the time of the previous message. If the message delay is too fast and falls within the red zone, the plugin will issue a infraction, and after a set amount of infractions it will either Kick or IP-Ban the spammer.

Q: Are admins notified of spammers when they spam?
A: Yes, if a spammer triggers the Anti-Spam, or AntiCommand-Spam; it will notify all administrators currently online.

Q: Is there permissions support?
A: Yes, there are 2 permission nodes currently. "cpp.admin", and "cpp.ignore"

Q: Is my {name} permissions plugin supported?!
A: This plugin uses Vault. It will support any permissions plugin that Vault does.

Q: I don't want to use Vault!
A: Alright, it is only set as a soft dependency. They plugin will still work without it, rather then use permissions it will resort to if the use is OP, or not.

Q: I WANT THIS FEATURE ADDED!!!!
A: Alright, alright. Calm down now. Please post a suggestion/feature you would like added, and if I feel it will benefit the plugin, and community as a whole I will add it.

I am just like everyone of you, I have to work, and make money, so that I can work on my projects. If you want to help buy me a meal, or me with a generous donation, it is graciously appreciated. I will update this plugin as much as I have time for, and get it ready for the new Bukkit releases. I will add new features when ever I have time, but money is always a great motivator to get me to work faster ;)
