Addon messages as whisper

[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.

[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

[DevTeam] [Nachonut]: Ahhh memories
[Guest] [Ignis]: wtb update
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: soooo.....
Pazza starts to complain... Kinda reminds you of Sloans dont it?

[dracula]

As soon as I enter a battleground, I receive several automated whispers from people in the battlegroup. They look like DBM timer sync messages, but I'm not sure why they appear as whispers? And it looks like I'm sending similar whispers out as well... lines that start with 'LBVM'...

Has anyone else noticed this? Is this an issue in DBM? Or another addon translating addon messages to whispers?

[Zeke]

20 Questions... GO!

Any specific battleground or all of them? Are you running DBM, and/or any similar addons? Did any of these update just before this started happening?

[Stewart]

I'll add mine to Zeke's: Are you playing on a private server or on retail servers?

[dracula]

I'm playing on Blizz server ofc, or I wouldn't be bothering anyone with these issues

The "LBVM" messages come from DBM_API\API.lua

It also modifies some WIM filter:

Code:

if type(WIM_Filters) == "table" then
WIM_Filters["^LVBM"] = WIM_Filters["^LVBM"] or "Ignore";
WIM_Filters["^LVPN"] = WIM_Filters["^LVPN"] or "Ignore";
end

Oddly, I *do* have a WIM filter for "^LVBM" to 'ignore', perhaps I'm mixing up various alts with different settings... I'll pay closer attention to it next time I see the whispers.

[dracula]

Even though there is a WIM filter "^LVBM" set to 'ignore' I receive these whispers when entering a battleground:



I still wonder how they end up as whispers in the first place...

[Stewart]

If i remember rightly its for one of these 2 reasons: 1. BG addon messages don't work, or 2. its a leftover from before Addon messages were implemented

[Pazza]

Well it would seem as though LVBM sends whispers to cross realm users. perhaps cross realm can not receive the addon message form of it? It will require some testing next time in BG. to figure it out.
