Clean Start

!CleanStart - Clean Up Your Login Spam

Tired of login spam flooding your chat every time you enter the game?
!CleanStart automatically captures, filters, and organizes all chat messages that appear during login - giving you a clean, quiet start every time you play.

Whether it's addons printing debug text, system messages firing all at once, or random clutter you don’t care about, !CleanStart puts you in control.

You can finally filter out messages you’ve already seen hundreds of times, like:
“Remember to act responsibly, protect your personal information, and report anything offensive. View our In-Game Code of Conduct…”

⭐ Features

🔍 Smart Message Capture

• Captures all chat messages during a short, configurable login window
• Addon messages (no message ID) are automatically blocked during this window
• System messages are allowed through but can be managed individually

🖼️ GUI Review Window

Open the interface anytime with /cs to:

• Review every captured message in order
• See message type, ID, and full text
• Allow or block system messages with one click
• View addon messages (blocked by default) for reference

🎯 Text-Based Filtering

Filter types include:

• =text - Exact match
• ^text - Starts-with match
• text - Contains match

🛡️ Whitelist System

Protect important messages from ever being filtered.
Matching is case-insensitive.

🔧 Debug Mode

See detailed message processing info, including message IDs.

💾 Persistent Settings

All filters and preferences are saved account-wide.

⚡ Lightweight

Minimal performance impact and no unnecessary overhead.
