.... and how will this work, exactly?

Go figure? If I read correctly, he want's spamfilter c type (affects channel) to work on a certain channel - in other words, channel specific spamfilter.

I believe this was proposed a while ago and considered too resource-intensive to be of use.

I can't see that much of a need for it... if bots/users are spamming one channel they have every potential to spam every other channel too. Maybe if we could do perchannel badword/spamfilter list in a channel mode (like MODE #channel +w badword (wildcards only - no regex for obvious reasons))...

Well, I can kind of see a use for it. But more as a policy thing. For example, say an oper created a set of regexs to work on swearing "shit(e)" and the like - but if you were running a general network (not necessarily a family one) you probably wouldnt want those spamfiltering the whole network.

And there's something wrong with using the badword system?

badword { word "shit"; action block; };

then the channels that want it set +G, those that don't... don't...


Using spamfilter for that is just plain abusing it :P

If you really want channel-specific badword/spamfilter lists, I think a channel modelist is the way to go. (I think some ircds even already have something similar... can't remember which one it was ...)

sounds like the whole regexp extended banmode I wanted but was told was impractical due to memory and security issues.

I wanted a way to block particular stuff like mp3 player messages, on a per channel basis
badwords doesn't block the whole line but just blocks the specific word.

action block; will block the entire line........

Yes... globally.
This request however is for per-channel or a limited set of channels.

This isn't 'either or' but 'BOTH'. we want to it to selectively block per channel or list of channels!

things that are allowed in one channel may not be allowed in another.

and yes, there is spamfilter-except channels... but that doesn't cover it either. b/c that then allows _anything_ in those channels.

This won't happen... spamfilter is a SPAM filter.. not for any other purpose.
There's no good reason to allow spam in 1 channel, and not in another.
