spamKill

The goal of spamKill is to block spam messages without imposing an undue burden on legitimate users. While this bot will by no means prevent ALL spam, it will block the most common spam messages, which are generated by chatroom bots. Many span prevention bots/apps work by using word filters, or captcha, but can be unfriendly to legitimate users because they have to retype messages that get blocked. The most common type of spam occurs via a bot entering the room, typing one or two lines,, and exiting. The spamKill bot blocks ths type of spam, without requiring legitimate users to retype any blocked messages. It works as follows:

• 
  

  When a user types a message in chat for the first time, they are greeted with the following message:

  
  
  
  
  • 
    

    Please enter the number "NN" to send your message. You only need to do this once, thanks for helping battle spam!

    
    
  
  
  
  


• 
  

  If the user types the correct number, their message is sent, and they will not get future prompts

  
  


• 
  

  If they do not type the correct number (and most bots will not), their message will not be sent and they will continue to be prompted
