AssistMe is a very small, fast, lightweight AddOn to auto promote specific persons to assistant when you are the Raid Leader of your raid. AssistMe now also promotes persons on Calendar events as well. 2.3 implemented a Spam Catcher which should stop the majority of those nasty event spams; one or two might get through, but its fairly efficient. Couple more New commands added with new features - Ready Check, Disband Raid, Demote All Assistants. Read below for more info!
Latest Updates:
3.2 <- Just bumped interface version - If you are getting bugs let me know. I am planning a complete re-write in near future.
3.1.1 <- More error purging. My apologies!
3.1 <- Semi-re-write the addon again. Made it easier to localize in future, and implemented my own framework. Shorted all the 'calendar' commands to 'cal'. Also shortened 'invitewhisper' to 'invwhisper'. See below for command updates. Colour Scheme in game slightly updated.
Adding new names or removing couldn't be easier :)

callist - will Enable/Disable a seperate list which will be used by the Calendar Promoting system. When Enabled, there is also an Account Calendar List and a Player Calendar List (the List in use is Determined by the switch command), when Disabled, the normal Account/Player List is used. Calendar List is Disabled by Default.

calremove - followed by a name will remove that name from your List. (/amcalremove Someone)

invwhisper - followed by a message will auto invite players who whisper you the message. Typing the command with no following message will disable this feature. (/aminvwhisper raid; to disable /aminvwhisper)
demote - will demote all current assistants, then your Assist List will kick in and promote your friends/guidies.
disband - will quickly disband your raid for you. This command also allows you to disband with a message of your choice check the example for more. (/amdisband BYE RAID!)
rd - followed by a difficulty ('10', '25', '10hc', '25hc') will set the Raid Difficulty respectively if your raid leader. If you are an Assistant this will send a Raid Difficulty request to the Raid Leader changing the difficulty on your behalf. Raid Leader Requires AssistMe for this to work
rc - will initiate a ready check. As Blizzard have fixed the bug this command shall remain as a short-hand for those, like me, who can't be assed typing /readycheck.
enabled - will enable/disable all promoting. (AssistMe's in-game on/off switch)
Reason for creation
Myself and friends play lot of WoW and we're also officers in our guild (Lingering) and we find it a pain to manually promote others every time we create a raid. Although there is a few larger addons that come with this feature I couldn't really find a nice small and simple version that was easy to use so I decided to create one.
Reporting
I completely re-wrote the addon (again) for version 3.n. Its now a lot more object orientated (better programmed). In all cases it was more or less copied and pasted into the new layout, but as always may be a few new errors but I did manage to get it cleaned up a bit. If you catch a error leave a comment behind!
Suggestions
Please also feel free to leave behind suggestions and ideas that you think should be incorporated into/removed from this addon and I shall consider any that seem appropriate.
Final words
Thanks for taking an interest in this addon.
