BadBoy: An extremely minimal spam blocker & reporter

Also got one:

I've just started using this addon, so I turned on BADBOY_POPUP just to keep an eye on what it was reacting to. Started getting errors today when it tried to report (and popup) gold spam with the phrase "10% off". BadBoy appends the raw text to the popup's text field, and then StaticPopup_Show runs that string through :SetFormattedText, so unescaped percent signs throw a spanner in the works.

This fixed it.

Love the addon so far!

Thanks, I wont be "fixing" that since it's not really a problem. In 99% of cases when spammers use DND to spam they have some kind of URL or advertisement in it, in which case it would get reported and removed by BadBoy. It's very rare for something like this to happen, and since there is no gain for the spammer (and wouldn't make sense to add that quote to the blacklist) I'll leave it as-is for now.

Shouldn't his message still get blocked since I have badboy_levels set to 2 and he was lvl 1, or does DND goes past that :s

Been getting this message more and more often recently, together with dead bodies in front of the auction house "drawing" their url on the ground, inventive aren't they...
