Temp Blocker

Description:

This is just a little script, with no interface, that blocks a contact for 10 seconds if he goes on and off for more than 2 times. It works up to 3 contacts at the same time. It also has 1 min timer that resets everything.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks to Volv for remind me how the timers function actually worked

I dedicate this script to my cousin and all credits goes to him, because it was his idea, I just turned it into computer language

If you think the script is useful, I'll make another version with an interface, just let me know!

Haven't tried this yet but it definitely seems useful - I hate it when toasts stack up the screen.

No problem

If you check the code, it could be A LOT smaller if I made a function, but I couldn't get it working so...

Maybe next version...

There is already a script which does this (without the limitation of 3 contacts, etc)...

CookieRevised's reply to [Request] Block someone if login too many times for X period of time

Didn't know that it already existed... Anyway I built the script just to get the rust out a little

Make it better;

Block for x time/day
If a contact posts the same message x times repeatedly in a period of x seconds, autoblock or blocks them for x time/day
Make a GUI for it of course

Keep up the great work

That would be nice, but it could be done easier with a var with a limit:
The contact sent a message, it's saved inside a var and adds a timer, if he sends the same message more 3 times or so before the timer triggers, blocks for 'x' time. Something like that

Thanks, and thanks for the idea

P.S. I already made another version, with a new code and now user's able to choose some options with /command, just waiting MenthiX aproval, then if it's worth it ('cause I'm in a brainstorm and ideas can't stop coming), I'll make a 2.0 version with a GUI

That's not easier, that's more complicated than what riahc4 suggested

Also, it wouldn't detect spammers who change the message from time to time. To make a flood checker which detects real flooding, you must do what riahc4 suggested (which would actually needs less code than with your suggestion )


PS: post the (new) script on the forums first, so people can take a look at it and test it out before submitting it to the database...

ehhh... Ups

But here it is

I think there's no need to write a new thread because of that...

Temp Blocker 1.1

New features:

- User can now choose for how many time to block contact with /tempblockertimer <Timer> (seconds - min 10<>max 300);

- User can now choose how time toasts to show before block with /tempblockerlimit <Limit> (from 2 to 5; 2 is default, so it shows 2 toasts and then blocks the third time contact goes on, so on...);

- User can reset the limit and timer with /tempblockerreset command;

- User can send link to download script with /tempblockersend command;

- Also added a about with the /tempblockerabout, it sends what's inside a text file;

- and finally, it's English and Portuguese...

I also re-wrote the code...

I didn't make the script but when I type in some of the commands it just sends the command as a message not actually doing anything.

http://www.msgpluslive.net/scripts/view/322-Temp-Blocker/


It the following commands that don't work:-

/tempblockertimer
/tempblockerlimit

Anyone have any idea's?
