[Bukkit Plugin] AntiAdvertiser - Keep your players!

AntiAdvertiser makes sure advertisers can't steal your hard-earned players. It checks all chat messages, commands, signs and books for any type of IP addresses and domain names and gets rid of all messages that are found to be ads.

How it works

AntiAdvertiser listens to chat, commands, sign change and book drop
events and runs some code. If the chat message, command, contents of the
sign or contents of the book contain something detected as an IP
address or domain name, the event is cancelled, staff members are
notified. You may also run a custom command (mute or ban) or kick the
player when they attempt to advertise.

Features

• Reject messages (or commands or signs or books) in real time, before they can be seen by other players. Without this plugin, players still see the ad even if you kicked the advertiser.
  
• Log all detections to a file
  
• Show the message that was rejected to staff so they can judge if it's against the rules or not.
  
• Execute a command on detection to mute/ban/whatever you desire the player upon advertising.
  
• API so other plugins can decide whether something is advertising or not as well!
  
• Custom blacklists and whitelists that can include regular expressions
  
• Disable any part of the plugin
  

Custom Filters

One of the great things about AntiAdvertiser is the customizability!
You're able to define custom filters - we even have a few examples for
you so you can easily also block the "clever" advertisers that replace
the dots with spaces, for example.

Plugin Conflicts

AntiAdvertiser should play well with most plugins, however if you have EssentialsChat installed, you need to give all players the following permission: essentials.chat.url - without it, Essentials automatically gets rid of the dots in messages.

Usage Data Collection

The plugin by default submits anonymous usage data to MCStats.org.
The following information is collected and made publicly available in
the form of graphs:

• Plugin version
  
• Server version (includes Minecraft version (1.7.9) and server software (CraftBukkit, Spigot))
  
• Number of online players
  
• Operating system information (name, version, architecture)
  
• Server information (country, number of CPU cores, Java version)
  
• The value of onDetect.action and whether you have a command in onDetect.command specified or not
  

You can opt out by editing /plugins/PluginMetrics/config.yml and setting opt-out to true.

Support

If you have any questions, leave a comment on Bukkit Dev (I won't check comments on PMC very often!). If you've found a bug, please submit an issue report on GitHub (make sure the issue hasn't been reported yet). If you'd just like to chat or need help, you can also join us on IRC: #deprecatednether on
irc.esper.net (web chat).
