SilentFilter

Quietly filter whispers and chat messages from specific players in Classic without alerting them.

SilentFilter

SilentFilter is a lightweight World of Warcraft Classic / Season of Discovery addon that lets you quietly hide chat from specific players — without using /ignore.
They’ll never know they’ve been filtered, and your chat stays peaceful.

✨ Features

  • Hide chat from selected players silently (no /ignore notifications)
  • Works for whispers, party, raid, guild, say, yell, and instance chat
  • Lightweight (under 50 KB) and fully client-side
  • No performance impact or taint
  • Easy-to-use slash commands

⚙️ Commands

Command Description
/sf add Name-Realm Add a player to your silent filter list
/sf del Name-Realm Remove a player from the list
/sf list Show all filtered names
/sf clear Remove all filtered names
/sf whispers / /sf nowhispers Toggle filtering whispers (default ON)
/sf party / /sf noparty Toggle party chat filtering
/sf raid / /sf noraid Toggle raid chat filtering
/sf guild / /sf noguild Toggle guild chat filtering
/sf instance / /sf noinstance Toggle instance chat filtering
/sf say / /sf nosay Toggle /say filtering
/sf yell / /sf noyell Toggle /yell filtering
/sf help Show command list in chat

🧠 How to Use

  1. Install SilentFilter into your AddOns folder:
  2. Restart WoW and enable “Load out of date AddOns” if needed.
  3. Once logged in, type /sf help to see available commands.
  4. Add any players you want to hide using /sf add Name.
  5. That’s it! Their messages vanish — no warnings, no system notices.

💡 Example

/sf add Spammy-Grobbulus /sf add Toxicplayer /sf list

Result:

SilentFilter: Blocked: Spammy-Grobbulus, Toxicplayer

Now, if either of them whispers or talks in your group chat, you won’t see it — but they’ll think it sent successfully.

🔧 Technical Details

SilentFilter uses ChatFrame_AddMessageEventFilter to suppress messages client-side only.
It doesn’t modify Blizzard’s /ignore system, ensuring the other person never knows.

📦 Installation

  1. Unzip SilentFilter.zip
  2. Move the SilentFilter folder into your AddOns directory:
  3. Restart WoW and check SilentFilter in your AddOns list.
