Are you tired of seeing 30 lines of "So-and-so's addon has loaded" each and every time you log into World of Warcraft? Yeah, me too.
No longer do you have to resort to such extreme measures as hand-editing all of your addons, hypnotism, binge drinking, or making GOP campaign donations to achieve some peace of mind when logging in to your game. StopTheSpam uses classified Soviet technology to stamp out the endless stream of addon loading messages while still letting system messages and the guild message-of-the-day pass through. It's so amazingly awesome and powerful that it it'll knock your pants off! But don't take my word for it, check out these testimonials from actual users: "StopTheSpam freed me of the loading messages once and for all! -hic-" -- Christina Lewis, Tire Salesperson "lol teh best mod EVAR!!!@#" -- Steven Strickland, Chemistry Teacher "What's an addon?" -- Old Man Murphy, Old Man What are you waiting for? Install StopTheSpam and start enjoying life today!
There is no dependency information for this file.
Filter routine rewritten to be more flexible to allow for future expansion. Allow/deny rules are now supported, rules can be reordered, expired, invalidated, disabled, and deleted. It's so complicated that even I can't understand it anymore! BugSack and Warmup are no longer filtered. Filter code now tries to safely unhook itself if possible. Impact on the global namespace has been minimized if not eliminated. Updated interface version. Also, the marketing department says bigger version numbers are better. I agree.

If I disable this mod at the character screen, I don't get the loading messages; if it's enabled, StopTheSpam doesn't work. :(. |
I have the same problem. Maybe time for an update? :D

This addon has been working almost perfectly for me since I started using it about two weeks ago. The only things that were getting through were:
SimpleAssist (chat window) - http://ui.worldofwar.net/ui.php?id=2041
Call To Arms (banner) - http://www.wowguru.com/ui/79/calltoarms-lfg-mod/
QuestItem (banner) - http://ui.worldofwar.net/ui.php?id=1322
I've been meaning to come report them here but hadn't got around to it.

October 7, 2005 - 9:47 pm [ Reply ]Great work fizzboy, I have another one for you that gets through :D
Pinky's enhanced trade, http://www.curse-gaming.com/mod.php?addid=2329
It tells you the version and how many items you have in your bank on load.
Keep up the fight! It's appreciated :D

October 7, 2005 - 9:24 am [ Reply ]I redesigned the filter to catch even-later-load-spamming addons like AuctionIt on a case-by-case basis since I don't want to filter out certain messages from addons that have a legitimate purpose like MailTo delivery notifications, for example.
I should probably update that screenshot. Warsong Gulch? Who goes there anymore!

October 2, 2005 - 1:11 am [ Reply ]AuctionIt gets past STS also, probably the same way Ace does as it is the same author. http://www.curse-gaming.com/mod.php?addid=453 AuctionIt also prints a banner message onload as well.
I already have the addon, I don't know why authors think they need to advertise to people who already got their product.

September 25, 2005 - 12:45 pm [ Reply ]Found the bug that was causing that, Devla. The event I was using is only triggered on login but not on reload. I found a new event that fires more reliably and much later in the login/reload sequence.
Also, it looks like Ace is passing its print messages through as if they were /say messages. StopTheSpam flagged it as valid and let it slip through. I reallly (yes, with three L's) like the Ace addon framework but there's no reason to be passing the chat message ID for /say messages like they're doing. Until the Ace developer(s) see the Light and stop their naughty ways, I've constructed a special case to stop their load spam.
The fix will be posted later this afternoon.
I lied, the fix was posted several days later.

September 25, 2005 - 5:06 am [ Reply ]Noticed a strange problem recently
When doing a /reloadui some /slash commands for other mods do not appear in the chat window after the reload. If I logout, then log back in, the slash commands appear normally.
I went through a process of elimination, enabling 3 mods at a time, and narrowed the culprit down to StopTheSpam
Other than that, I've been using it for some time and noticed this odd behavior after the 1.7 patch.
Thanks

September 21, 2005 - 2:06 pm [ Reply ]Ok I found the option. I'd rather not use Ace at all..but whatchagunnado?

September 21, 2005 - 10:25 am [ Reply ]Ace can be configured to be quiet, if I recall. Check out /ace for options. In the meantime, I'll "look" into it.
