SpamSlayer

The Spamslayer Addon helps World of Warcraft players manage and filter spammy chat messages, particularly in busy channels like Trade and General. It allows users to blacklist spammy advertisers and filter out messages containing specific keywords, making the chat experience cleaner and more enjoyable.

Features

• Keyword Filtering: Automatically filters out messages containing predefined spam keywords like "boosting", "run", "Mythic+", and more.
• Blacklist Management: Users can add, remove, and list players in a personal blacklist to prevent seeing messages from repeat spammers.
• Hourly and Monthly Message Reporting: Keeps track of how many messages have been blocked and provides periodic reports.
• User Interface: Toggleable UI for easier management of the blacklist and viewing of filtered messages.

Installation

• Download the Addon:
  • Download the latest version of the addon from the designated release source or repository.
• Extract the Addon:
  • Extract the downloaded zip file into your World of Warcraft _retail_/Interface/AddOns directory.
• Verify Installation:
  • Ensure that the addon folder is correctly placed in the AddOns directory. The folder should be named SpamSlayer and contain all the necessary files (SpamSlayer.lua, SpamSlayer.toc, and any related assets).

Usage

To access the Spamslayer Addon features, use the following slash commands in the game:

• /SpamSlayer add <playerName> - Adds a player to the blacklist.
