Post Decliner - Automatically declines common player interactions

While leveling a guildless toon, I've noticed that unsolicited invites and duel requests are common. Yea, there's options to block guilds and trades, and addons to block duels, but something in me sparked some interest in coding, as I've done in the past for Javascript and minor Batch files for personal use. After finding several abandoned addons that used to do what I wanted to do, my mind was set.

Create an addon that blocks player interactions while letting through players you want.

Learning Lua and the WoW API was a rewarding process, developing Decliner over the past year. Here's part of my addon's description page:

automatically declines:
  • duel requests
  • pet-battle duel requests
  • group invites
  • guild invites
  • guild petitions
  • trade requests
  • channel invites

from players when:
  • you haven't recently whispered them
  • they aren't in your party or raid
  • they aren't in your guild
  • they aren't on your friends list
  • they aren't a battle.net friend

Features
  • Account or character settings

    Save your options account-wide or per character.

  • Blocks sounds and other ui messages

    All the clicks, event sounds, and chat/info text that occurs from interactions are silenced when an action is blocked. If you disabled notifications, you wouldn't know if anything was blocked at all.

  • Spam prevention

    You will be notified only once within a certain time if a player is repeatedly sending you blocked invites or requests. The more they send, the longer that specific notification is hidden.

  • Forgetting players you whispered

    After some time, players that were allowed because you whispered them will be forgotten.

  • Opening group invites when you need them

    Sometimes you need an invite to a world boss group or to get a portal from someone nearby. When you say "invite" or "portal" in a public message, anyone will be allowed to invite you. Once you join a group, change zones, or after 5 minutes, invite blocking will return to normal.
    You can edit the words that trigger open invites, as well as what channels are watched, in the options.


Type /decliner, /decline, or /dcl for the options.
As a preemptive reply, since I've gotten this comment before, the only three options Blizzard has is "Block Trades", "Block Guild Invites", and "Block Chat Channel Invites" and they are all or nothing. Decliner, as described above, lets players through based on what options you set.

I hope this addon is useful to many people. I use the curseforge ticket system for bugs, issues, and suggestions. I'll keep an eye on this thread as well and welcome any kind of reply, but to keep things organized, I would appreciate tickets.

Updated for Legion. Remember to go to http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/decliner/tickets to report bugs, issues, and suggestions. I can't fix what I haven't found.

Thank you to everyone who has helped me with this addon while I was on random low characters on a few realms. I appreciate everyone's patience of me asking in trade, general, and lfg for requests. I hope my addon continues to be an effective firewall for those that want or need it.

Since this is simply an update post in a relevant thread, given that a major patch occurred since the start of this thread, this is not a necro.

Just popping back in here for another update, haven't updated it since September.

The two major changes for this update is no more dropdown code (which caused raidframe taints) and a new option to save settings account-wide or per character.

Thank you for your time.
