Spam Blocker v3.6
 

Spam Blocker v3.6

Description:
Monitoring my servers I noticed that a lot of players post ads in chat like "Want buy server? Call .... or visit cant_remember_site_address.co.il". Maybe this is some kind of adware, or maybe it's just an advertising campaign, I don't care. At first I banned them manually. Then I've got enough of that shi-- and wrote this plugin.

So. This plugin can hide ads message and warn/kick/ban (either usual way or amxbans way) the spammer. This plugin detects AMXBans or Advanced Bans (if it's loaded) and uses it's ban method. Also you can set a whitelist (only for ban.ini and kick.ini).

The plugin has three powerful features:
— Just hide messages (I use this feature for hiding messages like changerace, /rank etc.)
— Kick spammers
— Warn spammers
— Ban spammers (there are separate files for messages that cause in kick, ban or hide)

Also the plugin supports immunity flags — by default q (ADMIN_LEVEL_E).

CVAR list:

• spam_blocker_active [0, 1, default 1] — enables or disables the plugin.
• spam_bantime [1440 by default (one day)] — I spose everyone understood what does this cvar mean.
• spam_check_nick [0, 1, default 1] — enables or disables nick-spam checking.
• spam_detect_ip [0 by default] — if this set to 1 the plugin will perform needed action with any player which post any IPs to chat (but I'm still not sure that this feature is needed indeed).
• spam_ip_mode [1, 2, 3, default 3] — what plugin is supposed to do when he found IP (of course, if IP detection is on). 1 — hide ad message. 2 — hide message and kick spamer. 3 — hide message and ban spamer.
• spam_log_hides [0, 1, default 0] — log messages hides (only strings from file hide.ini). I made this feature because I set up a huge list of War3FT chat messages that I don't want to be shown in chat, so logging each hide of message like "tome" is some kinda strange :)
• spam_warning [0, 1, default 1] — enables or disables the regular warning.
• spam_notify_admins [0, 1, 2, default 2] — if 2 it will notify admins about all warnings, kicks and bans thru admin chat. If 1 it will notify admins about only warning (for example if somebody tries to spam anyway admin can ban him manually). If 0 no reports are sent.
• spam_ban_mode [1, 2, default 1] — if your server is non-steam set 2 (thus plugin will ban/kick thru IP), if you got a steam-server set 1 (and the plugin will ban/kick thru SteamID).

Manual installation:
— Upload spam_blocker.amxx to your plugins directory.
— Add this plugin to the end of your plugins.ini.
— Create a folder "spam_blocker" in configs directory.
— Create files hide.ini, kick.ini, ban.ini, warn.ini, whitelist.ini and config.cfg.
— Set up a list of string in .ini files (examples: 1, 2).
— Set cvars in config.cfg.
— ???
— PROFIT!

Fast installation:
— Download & unzip attached archive to your mod folder (e. g. cstrike)
— Download attached spam_blocker.amxx and put it to your plugins folder.
— Edit hide.ini, kick.ini, ban.ini, warn.ini, whitelist.ini and config.cfg if needed.
— Add spam_blocker.amxx to the end of your plugins.ini file.
— Have fun!

Changelog:
P. S. As you can see here (http://gg.zombified.ru/bans/ban_list.php) my plugin really works! If there are no active bans, you can try to search among expired bans by AUTOBAN reason.

P. P. S. As for me, I use this plugin in three ways:
1. Ban spamers (with ban.ini)
2. Kick abusers (with kick.ini)
3. Hide messages like "/rank" (with hide.ini)

P. P. P. S. Also I saw TF, HL and CZ severs, running this plugin. Please try this plugin at different mods and tell me!

Re: Spam Blocker
 

- use pcvars :crab:
- read_args (said, 127);
- get_user_authid (id,szAuthID, 31)
- you should check both say comands, i mean say and say_team

Re: Spam Blocker
 

"ToDo:
— A config file with deprecated strings
— AMXBans autodetection"

Do you mean you are going to make a cfg, so you can write what the users isn't allowed to type?

Re: Spam Blocker
 

maplebest, yes.
tuty, thx, goin to fix.

Re: Spam Blocker
 

Okay, I see. I might add this to a server if I get one..

Re: Spam Blocker
 

Do not hurry. I'm going to release v1.1 in a few minutes.

Re: Spam Blocker
 

You should not be that specific.

- It would be more interesting to be able to write via a file a list of text to block
- Use pcvar, it's faster.
- Use a switch() instead of if() if() etc.

Re: Spam Blocker v1.1.1
 

arkshine, moved to pcvars, moved to switch. But what do u mean about first suggestion? I didn't get it (sry, english is not my native lang).

tuty, what's wrong with read_args (said, 127) and get_user_authid (id,szAuthID, 31)?
