Game: WoW Forever. Version: 1.0.1.
Trade Bouncer hides real-money gold-seller and RMT spam in public chat and whispers, including scrambled site names such as "WVVW,U4N,C0M", and repeat floods. Normal trading and group posts get through, and there is nothing to set up.
Install
Use the CurseForge app first. Select your Forever game installation, search for Trade Bouncer, and install the matching release. The catalog lists https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/trade-bouncer.
For a manual install, place the release folder at World of Warcraft/_forever_/Interface/AddOns/TradeBouncer/. Keep TradeBouncer.toc directly inside that folder, with its Lua files beside it. Fully close and restart the game, then enable the addon for the character in the AddOns list.
Quick start
- Log in. Filtering starts on its own, and one login line says Trade Bouncer is running.
- Type
/tbto see today's blocked count and the last 50 blocked lines with the reason for each. - If a real message was hidden, select it and click Not spam to allow that sender from now on.

Features and windows
What gets hidden
Gold sellers, boosting for real money, account sellers and similar real-money ads in Trade, General, Services, LookingForGroup, custom channels, Say, Yell and whispers. Trade Bouncer reads past look-alike letters, digits, spacing and punctuation, then looks for website names, real-money prices, gold pricing and sales wording together.
What is never touched
Guild, officer, party, raid and Battle.net chat, your own messages, friends, guildmates and senders you allowed.

FAQ
Will normal trading be blocked? Item prices in gold, dungeon groups, gold farming questions and in-game boosts pass. Only the repeat filter can hide a legitimate advert posted again within 20 seconds; turn Repeat off if you want those.
Does it report people? No. Messages are only hidden on your screen. Ignore sender is a manual action and asks first.
Does it print every block? No. The login line is the only chat output.
Can it miss spam? Yes, it stays careful so real chat gets through. Add custom words for a recurring campaign, and use Not spam for anything hidden by mistake.
Troubleshooting and saved data
The addon does not appear. Check the game installation selected in CurseForge, the folder name above, and the AddOns checkbox for this character. A full game restart is needed after adding an addon.
Saved data. TradeBouncerDB keeps settings, allowed senders, custom words, the minimap position, today's count and up to 50 blocked lines.
