Anti Spam Device

Group Chat AntiSpam Device is a special device that is used to eject spammers, beggars, and anyone that says an offensive word. This is especially useful for pg13 groups that want to block out curse words.

Features

• Uses your smartbots bot to constantly monitor group chat
• Works even if you are offline. (The bot has to remain logged in)
• Includes a black list - If any of the avatars on the blacklist talk in the group they will be ejected
• Includes a white list - The avatars on the white list are allowed to say any word without being ejected or warned.
• Features a warning system - The anti-spam bot will warn a resident that says a blocked word before ejecting (can be disabled).
• Statistics - Shows how many messages has been processed by the bot and how many spammers ejected.
• White Words - A list of words that are always permitted (useful for blocking out SL URLS to other locations except yours).

How It Works

Once a member of the group says a word on the stop list (works if the word is in a sentence as well) the bot will either eject or send a warning to that member based on your settings:

You will also receive a message from the bot indicating that a member has been removed from the group.

To add a word to the stop list please see below.
