ChatSentry leak

Meet ChatSentry, an easy to use, yet incredibly effective and sophisticated chat & message filtration, control, and management system that seamlessly integrates with your server to add astoundingly smart filtration and protection against many kinds of chat/message abuse public servers are subject to, without interfering with players who are just using the chat as it should.

Introducing intelligent dialogue awareness, capable of providing real time self tuning based off context prediction; a unique feature of ChatSentry allowing the plugin to truly understand the nature of your servers chat in ways other plugins have never been able to.

Composed of unique, powerful, custom detection logic and dynamically self tuning algorithmic checks that have been expertly engineered over months of work, ChatSentry has incorporated top notch recognition abilities in to each and every check it offers.

Through efficient analysis of messages, including speed and typing patterns, the plugin can intelligently recognize and block players trying to bypass or exploit its filters, whether by adding additional characters, symbols, numbers, etc. to their messages, stretching words, and so forth - just like a real human mod!

Not only does the plugin support filtration of chat and commands, but applicable modules also support signs, anvils, and books, for complete protection across all contexts of messages.

On top of this, many features include specially designed subchecks specifically designed to detect players using hacked clients and cheats to try and bypass checks, write in unicode based fonts, parrot other players, and more.

Say goodbye to those trolls who join just to cause havoc - ChatSentry will take care of them without hassle.

The plugin comes equipped with a fully decked out with an auto-punishment system that works to automagically deal with and punish players who excessively trigger the plugins filters and restrictions within similar time frames.

Use the preconfigured setup, or create your own custom punishment rules per filter / restriction; set how many times a player must trigger particular filters before executing configured commands or actions on them, and more. Ex. after triggering the word and phrase filter 5 times within 24 hours mute the violator, after triggering it 10 times within 24 hours ban them.

As well as automated tools, ChatSentry provides your admins with useful utilities like instant chat clearing, panic mode which disables all chat from non-authorized users, a manual non-filter related warning system integrated with the auto punisher, a built in, highly detailed logging system with easy old log data purging to save detections & or blocked/modified actions, fully integrated with a custom in-game lookup engine that allows filtered searches so you can focus in on the results you're looking for, and more.

ChatSentry offers tons of settings to allow you to fine tune the plugin to exactly what your server needs.

Don't feel like going through each setting? You're in luck! Everything comes pre-configured to what's recommended for most servers, allowing you to spend as little or as much time as you want setting things up. Simply drop ChatSentry into your plugins folder, enable the core modules/checks you'd like, and let it do the rest of the heavy lifting for you.

Said simply, you to get the best filtration at the smallest amount of config work.

Note: Any features, filters and restrictions you don't want can be modified, disabled or bypassed with permissions. Everything is customizable!
