SpamBayes for World of Warcraft

9 - 3rd category for non-actionable spam

Automatic reporting would be a more useful feature if it distinguished between the types of spam that are bannable offences (e.g. gold selling) and those that aren't (guild recruitment, anal/murloc/Thunderfury, etc.). I want to report RMT spammers, but I don't want the GMs to start ignoring my reports because they see me crying wolf. Why not support a third category for messages that wouldn't be displayed, but wouldn't trigger an automatic report either?

    Yes indeed I expected this issue while adding reports that's why I didnt want to add report right now, but the users then are using multiple antispams which is even worse, I think i will do something like "Mark as spam" for true gold sellers and another one "Mark as unwanted message to not autoreport" but this is not that simple to design but i think will be required to enlarge the uses of the addon without flooding at the Blizzard support department, yet I have no word from them so it should be fine ^^. But I will work on this ASAP
