How hard is it to provide a client side regular expression chat/mail filter?

With an option to remove all white space and special chars before this filter, and plenty of filter slots (who cares how many, store it all client side), this gold spam would go away. Now that I think about it more, if the special characters and white space are removed, we probably could get by without the regular expressions, and simply go with string compares.

    How hard is it to click on "Report Spam" and then "Delete" or right-click on a screen name and select "Report Spam" from the pop-up menu?

    Why do we need additional client side coding when server side coding is already instituted and available for use? ;)

    As long as you have a virtual presence on the web, you will be receiving unsolicited email.

    As long as you have a physical presence with a mailbox, you will be receiving unsolicited mail.

    See what I did there? ;)

    Actually, all my emails have this filtering, and I rarely see anything make it through. By applying your same logic, you could go further and say why change anything. It's really very poor reasoning. For instance, "Server not responding", why fix it since people can simply reconnect. You know I have kind of had it with this moronic user base. :rolleyes:
