Automatically kick users when a message pattern is matched.

System Requirements
-------------------

[](#system-requirements)

If your setup can run the main bot, it can run this module as well.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

To install this module, we will use `composer`:

`composer require wildphp/module-antispam`

That will install all required files for the module. In order to activate the module, add the following line to your modules array in `config.neon`:

```
- WildPHP\Modules\AntiSpam\AntiSpam

```

The bot will run the module the next time it is started.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The AntiSpam module relies on a blacklist to do its work. To manipulate the blacklist, the following commands are available. All patterns must be given as valid regular expressions. See [the php manual on PCRE syntax](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.syntax.php) for more details.

In addition to a blacklist the module maintains a list of exempted *nicknames*. These nicknames are exempted from checks and will not be kicked even if their message contains a blacklisted pattern.

If the bot is not a channel OP, it will still detect the spam and give a single notice per nickname in the channel asking users to inform channel OPs.

- `blacklist [pattern]`
    - Required permission: `sa_blacklist`
- `unblacklist [pattern]`
    - Required permission: `sa_blacklist`
- `exempt [nickname]`
    - Required permission: `sa_exempt`
- `unexempt [nickname]`
    - Required permission: `sa_exempt`

### Use case: Blocking messages with multiple consecutive spaces

[](#use-case-blocking-messages-with-multiple-consecutive-spaces)

Since the bot trims given arguments (removes extra whitespace), it is not as straightforward to blacklist a pattern of multiple consecutive spaces.

**Do not blacklist messages with consecutive spaces by giving the spaces as argument to `blacklist`**. This will cause the bot to block every message containing a space, making it virtually impossible to undo the blacklist if you are not exempted.

Instead, the following command illustrates the best solution for this problem:

- `blacklist [ ]{8}` where 8 is the number of spaces that need to be matched.
