    Recently this addon has started spamming more than the goldspammers ever did. It tells me every 6 seconds that another addon breaks critical data it needs to work.

    Well fine, nice to get information like that, but it would be enough to tell me once.

    Keep up the great work though.

    I decreased the spam in the latest version, but like I said before, I'd appreciate you letting me know which addon is the cause.

    If only whispers are causing it and not trade/public chat then it could very well be some kind of whisper mod, can you PM me your addon list?

    I agree that you should be notified when something breaks the addon, but I feel that an addon that spams every 6 seconds until you reload ui is a bit much, especially when the sole reason for the addon is to reduce spam.

    I'm not any closer to figuring out which addon that breaks it, cause it only happens now and then, and it's always a whisper that triggers it. But I will let you know if I do.

    Don't take my posts as complaining though, I really appreciate the work you do to keep us free from the pestering goldsellers and other spammers, and it is a fantastic addon that I would hate to be without.

    Well, maybe it prints too often, but the point of the spam is to get you to fix it, because whilst it's happening BadBoy (and any other addons depending on filtering) will be completely broken and simply will not function.

    Also if you discover which addon is causing the issue it would be great if you could let me know so I can attempt to resolve the issue with the author.

    It's basically up to you to turn off addons until the issue goes away, to locate which addon is the cause.

    I think there should be an option that block lvl 1 chars, 80-90% of that people are gold spammers or mount sellers which sell duped mounts/gems. I would love to see such an option :)

    See the BadBoy_Levels plugin.

    Considering how many people use low level alts for tradeing, that would somewhat defeat the purpose of trade chat altogether :)

    That being said, whilst it's theoretically possible to block low levels in trade chat, it simply isn't practical because Blizzard doesn't give us an easy way to do that.

    edit: aaand Curse can't seem to align more than 2 replies properly, nice...

    See the BadBoy_Levels plugin.

    but does it block people writing in trade/general chat?

    Sorry, this is becoming a daily battle of cat and mouse right now. I'm thinking of the best way to go about this.

    For faster updates you can set Curse Client to download alpha versions.

    v8 released:

    -Possibly fixed an issue for some users where silent mode didn't work.

    -Re-code the raid icon handling and symbol handling to strengthen BadBoy against spam that uses raid icon & symbol separation.

    -Print a chat message if an addon is breaking critical chat data that BadBoy needs, thus breaking BadBoy, and showing an error.

    -Fix a minor display issue for manual report users.

    -Improve Russian & French filters.

    -Remove/cleanup lots of old rules.
