Anti-Spam

The anti-spam filter prevents message flooding by enforcing a cooldown between messages and detecting repeated/similar messages. Configuration is in moderation/moderation.yml.

Configuration

anti-spam:
  enabled: true

  # Minimum seconds between messages
  message-delay: 3

  # Similarity threshold (0-100)
  # Messages this similar to recent messages will be blocked
  similarity-threshold: 80

  # Number of recent messages to check for similarity
  similarity-check-count: 3

  # Actions when spam is detected
  actions:
    - CANCEL    # Cancel the message
    - WARN      # Warn the player

  # Bypass permission
  bypass-permission: "lpcpro.bypass.spam"

How It Works

Message Delay

When a player sends a message, they must wait message-delay seconds before sending another. If they try to send before the cooldown expires, the message is blocked.

Similarity Detection

LPC Pro compares each new message against the player's last similarity-check-count messages. If any comparison exceeds the similarity-threshold percentage, the message is flagged as spam.

For example, with the default settings:

• "Can someone help me?" followed by "Can someone help me please?" (very similar) would be blocked
• "Hello" followed by "How is everyone?" (very different) would pass

Actions

Available actions when spam is detected:

Multiple actions can be combined.
