How to Use?

• Add a filter:

• EVERYTHING IS IN LOWERCASE. Always make the filter in lower-case, I automatically lowercase all chat.

• Filters support basic regex or full lua pattern matching. You can more about Lua's pattern matching here.

• You can add a filter using the add command /ef add filter

• Examples:

  • /ef add gallywix.+boosting "Gallywix is providing Boosting"
  • /ef add gold%s+only "Selling boost. gold only"
  • /ef add wts.+mythic%s%d+ "WTS Mythic 10"

• Remove a filter:

  • /ef del filter

• Enable preset filters:

  • /ef enablepreset filterName currently only "boosting" is available
  • /ef enablepreset boosting will block most boosting posts

• Available Filter Presets:

• boosting - Blocks most boosting related posts /ef enablepreset boosting

• twitch - Blocks twitch related posts (stream advertisers) /ef enablepreset twitch

• lang - Blocks all Asian languages (Japanese, Chinese, Korean) /ef enablepreset lang

MOST OF YOU WILL WANT TO ENABLE THE BOOSTING FILTER! READ ABOVE

• Delete a filter:

  • /ef disablepreset filterName

• Disable "Blocking" Notification:

  • /ef silence

• Clear enabled-presets & user defined filters

  • /ef clear
