About Dirge spam blocker

Made this addon because I got tired of all the spamming with dirge linking on my realm.

Installation Guide

Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
  - StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start World of Warcraft
Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

Had a guildie using this when about half the guild decided to complain about the dirge spam in guild chat. Result? Well about half the guild got reported and ignored.

Here is what happens when you report someone:

the reported player will be ignored by you for the rest of your gaming session. This ignore function extends to the player's entire account, so the player will not be able to contact you again even if he or she makes a new character.

So how to undo do this if you end up doing this to your guild or another innocent?

Basically the report function makes use of the /squelch command. If you DO accidentally report someone the only way you'll be able to hear them is to manually unsquelch them, I believe you will have to do this for all their characters. You can do this by typing /unsquelch <player name>

My recommendation is that this add-on maybe target the trade channel specifically because it is a bit of a pain when something like this happens.

Nice, didn't know it excists.

What I did was add the word "dirge" to SpamMeNot list with 150 spam rating :)

They get automatically reported.

Also check out my new addon: Annoying Spam Blocker, which can remove chat messages containing several words specified by the user.

What version are you using and in way does it not work?
The sole purpose of the mod is to hide all messages containing the phrase or the item link "dirge", and it will do so in all chat channels except for whisper and party chat..

This addon is smaller than 1kb and uses close to no memory :-)

Really recommend using it if your server is spammed with this, I've been using it since I made it and with the 1.02 version I have not experienced any problems.
