Simple addon for Icecrown global channels (filter)

Good day, lads.

I created simple addon just for myself to make Icecrown's /global chat more readable. It turned out quite good and helpful for me, so i decided to share it with community. If you are tired of being recruited to Persian guilds, get frustrated from endless /y Il No'throma N O O O O L N Zaga maza'rotha Nogah mog NO o A spam, and usually don't want to buy stacks of Frostweave Cloth or Paladins with Trade system, you can find this tool useful.

This addon allows you completely skip messages, containing words from the blacklist. You can edit this list right in the game. Filters are applyed on /y, /s and global channels.

For example, i have completely ban words "WTB" and "WTS". But i see annoying guild-recruiting spam:

SomeAnnoyingGuy: Hello! Im recruiting cool dudes to my mongolian guild for fun!
RandomGuy1: LFM ToC10 need tank, heal, dps, be 6k+, discord
RandomGuy2: Hello, im a single girl, can you help me in FoS/PoS/HoR? :]
RandomGuy3: Wow dudes messages fly so fast that no one will notice that I have a short pinus
SomeAnnoyingGuy: Hello! Im recruiting cool dudes to my mongolian guild for fun!
RandomGuy4: LFM ICC25n need boomkin and holy paladin doing 4/12

I believe, i will never want to join Mongolian guild, so i have to write command /cf add mongolian guild to completely filter this spam. Bingo, now i can help to this gurl in FoS PoS <3

PROS:
(+) Lightweighted (it is not a chat addon, just filter)
(+) Easy to activate/deactivate, add/remove words
(+) Compatible with any chat addons
(+) Works only on /y, /s and global channels, safe for another conversations
(+) Does not block messages from your Friends and GuildMates
(+) Banned words are shared between characters
(+) You can view recently blocked messages

Dude, you just fixed my ****ing global chat channel, seriously this is pure GOLD. holy **** i cant believe how useful global channel is now, i had an addon for infinite ignore list but everyday i had to ignore new people anyways. this is THE warmane addon.

this. is. amazing.

is it me or all the pics are broken?

Oh, dudes, thank you for replies. I can re-upload pictures and addon if you share good photo and file hosting for me.

Also can share my file with ignored words, now its huge :D

TOP addon !! - This is must on icecrown

I have updated OP post and fix broken links

"RandomGuy2: Hello, im a single girl"
everybody knows no girl ever set foot into WoW ever

If you like the addon, write your impressions here, this will help other people to find and use it.

I used to use SpamThrottle but this addon ChatFilter is so much better. Quality of life on this server has increased dramatically. No longer do I have to /ignore or "Report Spam" anymore. Thank you, kind sir for your generous contribution.

i really love the addon and what it provides. However I am having a slightly negative experience.

Sometimes I chat with someone in /s and the addon just filters out almost everything they say. Same thing with trade channel, I miss out on important responses on my questions. Keep in mind there was no words of those responses were blocked.

There maybe a problem with some special characters.
Can you copy-paste content of your WOW\WTF\Account\_your_name_\SavedVariables\ChatFil ter.lua here?

Also this excellent ads-free hosting is down, im looking for new. If you interested in addon, tell me the name of good file-hosting service, and i will reupload it.

UPD: reuploaded it to anonfile.com

Last time i checked previous hosting, our file has 300+ downloads. Feel free to post comment here if you are happy or mad or sad :D It will help other peoples a lot.

God damn it actually works!
Thank you! Tired of seeing people trying to sell their trash accounts

Might be a bug with the app or general bug, I can no longer type in global.
