Block whispers based on level

[Guest] [joshmiller83]: Can we get an Astrolabe fix please? Or has WIM stopped being developed?
[DevTeam] [Astaldo]: You can disable wim2wim for now or visit the forum thread where you originally posted the issue
[DevTeam] [Zeke]: Yay for spam!
[DevTeam] [Zeke]: ....
[DevTeam] [Zeke]: I love that I get emailed when someone reports spam on the boards, but I can't do anything about it.
[DevTeam] [Nachonut]: lol i got you
[DevTeam] [Astaldo]: How about "hide email address from public checked" and it's still visible in all my posts...
[DevTeam] [Astaldo]: I'd delete my account on this site, but by the time I realized the problem half the spambots on the planet had it already
[Developer] [Pazza]: Astaldo if you log out and view your profile with a refresh you'll see that your email is hidden.
[Developer] [Pazza]: Your user level on the forums permit you to see emails even though they are marked hidden.
[DevTeam] [Astaldo]: Ah.. thanks for the clarification and apologies for "crying wolf" in that case :
[DevTeam] [Kaidenn]: PAZZA! i miss you.
[DevTeam] [Nachonut]: Lol, it's funny how it takes spam message reports to get me to come back
[DevTeam] [sylvanaar]: Check out the beta tester forum. Need alpha testers and feedback so I can come up with a maintenance plan.
[Developer] [Pazza]: loaded some new spam prevention modules... lets see if this stops the bastards.
[DevTeam] [Maziel]: Thought I'd check in and say Howdy Doody from Australia
[DevTeam] [Maziel]: Yeah the spam from shoes salesmen was becoming insane
[Guest] [Delakando]: What ever happened to the ability to track friend's location by wim? Other then just showing their general zone location.
Zeke pokes his head around the corner.
[DevTeam] [Zeke]: Anybody home?
[Guest] [Theillur]: I would like to know if it is just me.
[Guest] [Theillur]: http://www.wimaddon.com/forums/index.php/topic,1796.0.html
[Guest] [Nev]: I'm here
[Guest] [Nev]: I don't think anyone else is though
[Guest] [tomasio]: great site [url=http://freeonlinemusicvideos.net].[/url] [url=http://freepeopleclothing.org].[/url]

[DevTeam] [lothaer]: Posted a new download in the skins forum check it out
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: Zeke, Maziel, Pazza, Nachonut, sylvanaar, Kaidenn, Astaldo where are you?
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: It would be a real shame if WIM was left to die.
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: i think these forums are dead, Sylvanaar dosnt post on them as he only bug fixes when possible. WIMs future isnt very bright
[Guest] [justgiz]: Yea, its rather sad.
[Guest] [silvercola]: I wish it had skype

Hello,

Yesterday I was browsing the European suggestion forums and I read a good suggestion there to allow people to block whispers from people below a certain level (or just level 1 characters). It might be nice to have that feature in WIM since having a popup window from a gold spammer is even more annoying than the whisper itself in the general chat frame.

I've already coded said feature into WIM however none of my friends are online atm to test it. Basically I have added a slider in the options filter tab with which you can select your threshold (or 0/None if you want to disable it and shrunk the alias list from 5 to 4 names to accomodate for the required space). I'll post the diff files once I've been able to test it.

Regards.

I see one drawback to this request. The level of the player is not determined until after the who request is made. Unfortunately, the who request is made after the window is created (and in many people's cases, after the window pops).

I am not sure on the status of SpamSentry and WIM compatibilty as of this date, but I do know the developer is working on it. I suggest you check it out, because he already handles such actions/filters. WIM is not a spam blocker, it is simply a new interface for whispers. The filtering system in WIM was built to allow other addons who communicate using whispers to not disturb you with unwanted windows.

If you do try coding this on your own, I would be interested in seeing your approach. I do not, however, plan on changing the core functionality of WIM to add this feature.

Thanks for your request.

[SunMar]

I don't really prefer a full fledged filtering system because it takes up more resources and is prone to making mistakes hence the reason why I liked this suggestion so much. My interface is already flooded with addons so I'm trying to cut back a bit .

As for my approach it didn't work in the end and due to the reasons you mentioned it'll be hard to hardcode it into WIM. I'll see if I can find a better solution (maybe a standalone addon or "hotplug" one into WIM).

Thanks for replying.

[lingering]

I haven't started a new topic since you have said its being worked on, but i really would like to see SpamSentry and WIM working together, as I want to use both but SpamSentry wins over WIM if i had to choose.

Any news on ETA on SpamSentry compatibility?

Keep up the stunning work
