Playsatan Jun 21, 2009 at 00:53 UTC - 0 likesWell the reason I posted this ticket is because one night as I was coming out of the dalaran inn, some idiot was spamming a hug macro on random people. the annoying part was that I couldn't report him for spam using blizzards "report spam" option and had to /ignore him.
This was probably a 5 line macro too that he was pressing as my text was just flying up so fast.
I'm guessing that spammenot works by looking for key words and blocks them ? if that's the case, this guys hug macro would pass through the filters easily.
Would it be possible to implement a filter so that a person spamming the same message or emote more than 5 times a minute would be blocked ?
