Message Filtering feature

[Alfio8788 0]

Hi,

I would like a message filtering for private messages due to some messages (adult finders and things like those), those are annoing so a filter to block messages containing words/links that you set in a filter list would be a good feature, I saw the ignore user feature but that one isn't enough and not every hub have scripts or something to block that.

Sorry for the short message but i think everyone can understand what i mean :ermm:

+1 for this!

I had an idea before for blocking all PMs containing URL in the very opening, or even implement some QIP-like spam protection - as a reply to his message the user receives a test question, like 2+2=?, and when the user enters "4", he already can write freely.

Death To AdultFinder (D2AF) - a Lua 5 script- does this by using a pre-made and self updateable spam addy list. But blocking all PMs will annoy users because they often send web links as we do every time at tgo.

Are there any possibility to use a PM scanner and use D2AF's database (it's a txt file) ? The user could update the plugin definitions like in the PeerGuardian feature.

If you want the files, contact me and i'll try to find fresh ones.

Don't know if I made myself clear enough, sorry :whistling:

I meant a spammer usually types:

<Stupid Spammer> Hi, check http://this.stupidurl.org

and a friend usually types:

<Friend> Hello, how are you?

<You> I am fine, thanks.

<Friend> Are you opening http://someurl.org ?

So, in the first case when the opening line contains URL, I think the message can be blocked for good.

If you can, please upload the script and the updated files here... :whistling:

I don't know... most spam bots can start conversation with some stupid "how are you?" and after any reply they type their http://this.stupidurl.org After some period they will post their stupid link anyway if You don't reply. :whistling:

Just my personal experience seems to be with "stupid" bots. You are right, bots will adapt in no time. But what about the anti-spam question?
