NoPwnage
NoPwnage
Identify and ban bots that connect to the server for the sole purpose of spamming it
Introduction
NoPwnage will monitor the behaviour of players that connect to the server, especially their chat messages, timing, content etc. to decide if they may be spambots. If a player gets identified as such, he can first receive a warning, and if he continues to misbehave, he may get kicked or banned (configurable).
While the plugin is based on the concept of the discontinued AntiPwnage, it is not the same because it has been completely rewritten from scratch and extended, e.g. by providing configuration settings, a clearer, simpler code structure, the option to decide what should happen if a player gets identified as spamming and many more things.
Instructions

Contact / Support
You can reach me here in the comment section or opening a support ticket (if you have a bug report to make or need support). Those things are most likely to grab my attention. You can also follow me on Twitter http://twitter.com/Evenprime85 to get informed about new versions of my plugins and maybe a random rant about stuff that annoys me while coding.
Thank you for reading this!
Yeah, I'm so glad Evenprime is still supporting this, its a life saver :)
I love this plugin! Some spammer came on today and I'm like 'Oh no...', But then the magic started. All the bots started to spam and NoPwnage banned them all in 3 seconds with no problem at all! Thanks for the plugin. (:
Haha, yes he did :P
@deleted_8156133
see? Forum Ninja strikes again! :P
@Evenprime85
Thanks man, I'll tell you how it works with the next spambot lol.
Version 1.2.1:
Added an additional saveguard that should prevent the plugin from spamming log messages in combination with McBans. Download
I'm not here over the weekend. I'll probably rewrite the plugin sometime next week from scratch to avoid such problems in the future.
it does work when they have a slower speed, as shown here:
@cvxx7q
haha :p
but I hope evenprime fixes this, or the ban function is forever broken with mcbans, nooooo :O
@deleted_8156133
nice beach behind that ugly fella.. lmfao
@cvxx7q
Well I think it works well as general antispam too, why have two plugins?
It tracks the slow spammers, and bans them, works nice for the most part.
Only if they don't send many messages does the plugin not spam lol.
@deleted_8156133
yeah, i just meant you were annoyed it was spamming and being anti-spam plugin it is antibot more than antispam, the bot it combats just happens to be a spambot ;)
but anyway, i think evenprime will pick up on it and take a look, he is still around even if he is now a Forum Ninja :P
@cvxx7q
It would do the same thing if it were a bot?
@deleted_8156133
anti-spambot plugin, not general anti-spam
Sigh... This plugin is still spazzing out, there are about 500 lines of spam, ironicly from an antispam plugin?!!

@kotpx3
well i know he is out of active development but im sure if he feels inspired enough from time to time i have pretty good faith he would hack it up ;)
but its not easy to inspire if hes "grown" out of minecraft at the current time so don't Depend on it, however glad you like my theoretical idea :P
@cvxx7q
If Evenprime could implement something like that, I would think about opening my server back up again :). I got tired of haters coming on my server with that PWN4G3 crap.
@cvxx7q
Hahaha yeah that would be funny too, evenprime should add that one too
@deleted_8156133
i meant let him see his chat spam come back to himself but it doesn't propogate to the other players
this way hes sitting there laughing himself to death and after 5 minutes wondering why theres no reaction, and he might be stupid enough to ask why his crappy bot isn't killing your server :P
of course you can ban them at any time, but its funny to let them get glorified and realise they failed XD
@cvxx7q
I would rather ban them on sight though, so he knows that his mods don't work here. That also would make him leave.
@deleted_8156133
google can't really i dont think it falls under bad ethic as per the SFOA
