Is there an Addon that Blocks others Addon Spam?

Guides UI and Macro

The fact that this is even a thing and I have to look for one is disgusting.

So many people have Addons that Spam when a Frontal is on them. When they kick. When they have a debuff. So on and so forth. A ton of USELESS information that doesn’t need to be spammed in chat outside of a select few situations. Yet, everyone seems to have it. I am unsure if it is DBM, a WA, or another. However, it is reaching a point of extreme frustration that I now need to look outside the game for a solution.

Is anyone aware of an addon that blocks/mutes others addon spam?
I use chat to make call outs, bs, or just talk to people. Looking down at my chatbox to see a ton of unusable and unnecessary information is a hinderance to the way I play the game. So I ask this question, since I cannot block these people in my PuG groups as I still need to communicate with them.

Is there an addon or a way I can block Addon spam from other people?

Badboy spammer is good for this. Just add key words or phrases it blocks them for you.

I’ve noticed a lot of that spam includes links to the abilities in the spam. You may be able to get by with blocking anything with |Hspell in its text.

This macro (only need to use once per session) will block spam that contains spell/ability links in various channels only during combat, until you logout or /reload:

/run for _,c in pairs({"CHAT_MSG_SAY","CHAT_MSG_INSTANCE_CHAT","CHAT_MSG_EMOTE","CHAT_MSG_YELL"}) do ChatFrame_AddMessageEventFilter(c,function(s,e,t) if InCombatLockdown() and (t or ""):match("\124Hspell") then return 1 end end) end

If you want to make it an addon you can copy it to https://addon.bool.no/ and remove the /run (just copy/paste the ‘for _,c’ onwards)

edit: The above doesn’t include all chat channels. If they abuse other channels they can be added but it may not fit in a macro.
