ESO SpamFilter Addon

Hello everyone.
Been noticing a lot of gold spammers in chat already, so figured I'd make an addon to automatically add them to my ignore list. If anyone is interested, it's available on esoui.com at esoui.com/downloads/info89-SpamFilter.html.
Enjoy!

daniel.taylorclaneb17_ESOSoul ShrivenGreatly needed, did not expect this much spam on 5 day early access ha1 -
pjt15253✭✭✭Glad to see such a positive response to this - If anyone has any suggestions on how to improve it, please let me know.1

KiroElmarok✭✭✭Lol! I actually said this should be a thing ingame on sunday and some dude told me to just ignore them... I am genuinely glad this exists.

Huggernaut✭✭✭✭Would love to use this addon- any chance we can see it on curse.Edited by Huggernaut on April 2, 2014 11:47AM2 -
pjt15253✭✭✭I'll take a look into that when I get off work. Never used curse. In the meantime, you can pick it up at https://bitbucket.org/paul_trampert/spamfilter/overview as well.1

Smaxx✭✭✭✭✭Looks promising.
Haven't seen a single spammer so far, but if you're interested, we could work together to make it multilingual. I could also manage the Curse hosting in case you don't want to bother with it. 1 -
pjt15253✭✭✭Thanks, Smaxx, but I can handle the hosting easily enough. I've automated the whole process of zipping up the addon package every time I commit, so it's really no bother for me to upload it elsewhere.
As for making it multilingual, by all means feel free to make a pull request on the repo. It's a public repo at bitbucket.com, here. I'd appreciate the input.2 -
pjt15253✭✭✭Regardless of why he's boycotting ESOUI - This is now on curseforge.com as well. Enjoy!2

orgelambartSoul Shrivenawesome idea in theory, but ultimately the only way to combat gold seller is having them be reported and banned, so while having them immediately get ignored is a great help, it doesn't bring them to the attention of the GM's nor will it result in them getting banned.
I'd hope gold selling and spamming the game would result in an immediate ban.5 -
riverdragon72✭✭✭✭✭The first, and prolly only add on I will use.. it works brilliantly.Meh...**** it..1 -
I stood in town this afternoon for a little over an hour, reporting all of the gold spammers. All it got me was an email inbox full of the same response. "We'll look into it."
My faith in GMs banning gold farmers/spammers/buyers is not very high. Sadly, it's the buyers who are the root of the problem. You'd be hard pressed to sell surf boards in Alaska.I wasn't an Elder Scrolls fan until ESO. I did like the Construction Set for Morrowind, though.1 -
I do have a question. How does this work? How do you know it will ignore those people and not accidentally ignore people who are legitimately trying to sell their wares in game?

I just made 1000 jute boots. Selling for 22 gold each.
While #2 and #3 might be annoying, I wouldn't want an add on accidentally ignoring them. If your add on ONLY ignores the gold farmers, why don't the devs program such a thing into the base game?

MercyKilling✭✭✭✭✭While a nice thought....this kind of thing isn't helping the situation at all. We as players have a responsibility to report this kind of thing, just like we're supposed to report someone using an exploit. Or someone with a name that violates the naming policy...or reporting any violation of the ToS. (That's terms of service, and if you haven't read them..do so.)I am not spending a single penny on the game until changes are made to the game that I want to see.
1) Remove having to be in a guild to sell items to other players at a kiosk.
2) Cosmetic modding for armor and clothing.
3) Difficulty slider.
4) Fully customizable player housing that isn't tied to anything in the game other than having the correct resources and enough gold to build. Don't tie it to PvP, guild membership, or anything at all. Oh, make it instanced so as not to take up world map space, too. Zeni screwed this one up already.
Any /one/ of these things implemented would get me spending again, maybe even subbing.2 -
DewiMorgan✭✭✭✭Feels to me like this is a good task for something like an AutoHotkey autofiller.
Like, I have hotkeys to auto-post replies to a few common FAQs I see on /zone (you need to send /zone, sleep for about 250ms, then send the rest of the string).
It should be easy enough to macro filling out a specific type of bug, instead. Hrm, but how can AHK grab the info about the name? Seems like we need an AHK/LUA gateway script. Do you get os.execute in ESO's LUA? If so, a LUA script could call an AHK script with parameters, then the AHK script could feed that to the keyboard stack to fill out a report on the user.0 -
Smaxx✭✭✭✭✭No, you don't, for obvious reasons. However, it might be possible that the clipboard is exposed somewhere (haven't had a closer look though). 0
-
DewiMorgan✭✭✭✭Failing that - can it load in files? I believe I've seen people with jpg files in their LUA scripts. 37 of those, you have alphabet, letters, and a separator. Then run something externally to monitor accesses to those files. It's kludgy as all get-out, but it's a way to escape the sandbox.
Alternatively, monitor for accesses to nonexistent files, too, in which case a nonexistent file like /banscript/@FrederickBloggsson/FreddBloggs.jpg would report that account and username.0
