Summary0003035: SUGGESTION for SpamFilters...
Descriptionit has come to my attention that in order to block certain quit messages, such as ones advertising XDCC Catcher an other stupid advertising, a spamfilter using "block" on "quit" matches would prevent the message from being displayed, but it would occur so often, it would become a pain in the arse for the opers getting the servernotice that it was blocked..... i am suggesting a spamfilter switch/flag that when present, would NOT send any notices of its matches... pretty much a silence on the spamfiltered it matched... i do still beleive these "silent" matches should still be logged in ircd logging, but just not send a servernotice... any questions or further disscussion of this idea, plear email me at [email protected]

For quit msgs you can already accomplish this. Use badword (with type = quit) instead (yes, you can use a regex). EG:

badword quit {
    word "http://spam\.spam/spam";
    action block;
};

(of course, if you used action kill; you can use the replace stuff, and for anything else you'll probably only get the "annoying" snotice once per user anyway).

hrm... never thought of it, but it looks like it would work, only thing is, in order to set a badword block, id need to have it set on every server, and theres no remote command or easier way to add it... and on top of that, id have to have every server auto set +G when a channel is created... it would all work, it just be a big inconvience.... if a modification to spamfilter can be created, it would make this obsolete..... thank you for you note tho, i never thought of doing it that way

badword quit doesn't need +G and adding on all servers can be sorted with remote includes.

it would also be nice tho to have the feature used to "silence" gline/kill/.../etc. this way, once a spamfilter is added that cant be a false-positive, such as an entire msg, it would use the action specified and the opers wouldnt even know it.... right now i have stupid annoying ones i get on a ignore pattern, but i thought it be a nice feature to add serverside and avoid unwanted bandwidth, how ever little it might be
