About Get Off My Lawn!
An ongoing project to remove annoyances from the game, primarily by filtering chat messages.
If you want to filter out things like duel messages, drinking spam, dual-spec skill spam, or certain exceptionally annoying NPCs, this addon is for you. If it doesn't block it, request it and I'll see what I can do!
Full list of blocking features:
- Serenity Mute - Mutes the game audio while you have the Serenity buff on at the Wrathgate.
- Arcanist Braedin - Blocks /yells from this NPC.
- Ability Spam - Hides "You have (un)learned..." class and pet ability messages.
- Duel Messages - Hides chat messages about duels.
- Drinking Messages - Hides "Soandso looks tipsy..." etc.
- Argent Tournament - Mutes various Tournament NPCs that chatter a lot
- Emblem/Mark Loot - Hides Emblem, Shard, and Mark messages that aren't yours.
- Popcap Games - Hides Peggle and Bejeweled guild messages.
- Necrosis - Filter out all Necrosis addon speech (English only for now).
- Deserter Agitator - Hide the chatter from this NPC in Theramore.
- Raid Joins/Leaves - Condenses raid join/leave messages into blocks similar to Battlegrounds
- General Raid Mute - Hides General chat when in a raid group outside of Wintergrasp.
- Fail Mods - Hides "Soandso fails at suchandsuch" type raid messages.
- Winter Time - Blocks guildchat messages from the WinterTime addon.
- Auction House Messages - Blocks them while in a party/raid.
- Trade Chat Filter - Filter out the junk from the Trade channel. Not recommended for non-English clients/servers.
- Achievement Clustering - Want just a few lines of chat instead of 25 when your guild gets a new achievement? This is for you.
- City Chatter - NPCs cluttering up your chatbox about buying their fresh baked bread? Not anymore!
- Emote filtering. If you don't know the person and he/she is in your party / raid / guild it will filter. Your own emotes won't be filtered.
- Gold-loot filtering. No longer will you see "your share of the loot is" or "you loot x copper".
- Zone-discovery filtering.
- Custom Channel filtering. If someone leaves your custom channel you won't be notified of who now is moderator / owner of the channel.
- Yell-filtering. Same functionality as emote-filtering.
- Language-filtering. If you don't know the language someone is writing in, it won't be shown.
- Filtered zone-changing. [Left channel: General - Icecrown] [Joined channel: General - Storm Peaks]. Filters LocalDefense, General, Trade and LookingForGroup.

Any chance for an update? Currently when people join a raid it says their name twice.
Thanks Milamber! You are awesome! You recommended Error Sounds Be Gone! and I think that's what I need. Sadly, I haven't tested it yet--haven't played for a while, but when I get a chance, I'll try it out.
Thanks again and take care.
You might want to consider adding a text box in the Options dialog where players could add the names of additional NPC's to be ignored. It's easier than editing the LUA and it would survive a mod update.
Request: I like to spend some AH time in Orgrimmar's Valley of Spirits. However, the Off-Duty Bruiser and Off-Duty Siegeworker constantly yell "Eeeooooohh" and "Booyah" to a point of interrupting my business. Is there any way to mute them? Thanks for considering it!
