Not only that, but nocredspam didn't even need to see the first word.....it could see spam keywords in all of the chat.
*shakes head* You still don't get it. Yes a bot can look for the first word you say; that means then that it is parsing the string into a list using space as the separator, it's not that hard to do. However, again, this is a small check compared to something like checking every word against a database of examples.

And guess what, you know that for nocredspam to see the spam keyword in all of chat; it has to read and check the db against each word as I have been trying to tell you. Ask Vhab or Xyphos they'd probably tell you the same thing. In order to find a key word in a string you have to break it up into each word and check each word until you find one that is in your db marked as spam.

Riiight, so you dropping the arguments such as the old quest NPCs etc are because you were right and not because I disproved you. My logical comments are everywhere, it's called the fact that (while not as good as people like Vhab or Funcom) I know coding and I have been telling you and others over and over and over again that chat filters will not work.

Ignoring facts and saying you win because nobody posted anything factual isn't going to get you anywhere.

No they don't select random words, they search through each sentence ever spoken word by word before it's even sent out to other players, hence it is server side. It's no surprise that Blizzard has the servers that can handle the load; they have a few more subscribers then Funcom does. Are you offering to pay more per month so that Funcom can upgrade and implement the same filters that WoW has?

I keep calling you a moron because every time you post you give me new reason to.
