FuBar_AddonSpamFu
AddonSpamFu is an Addon for monitoring the addoncommunication channels for guild, raid, group, bg &whisper.
Poorly written Addons often send too much unneeded messages over the wire.
AddonSpamFU helps you to find , which addons produce the most traffic and what kind of information they send.
When an Addon doesn't use its original name as a prefix, like many Ace-Comm-2.0 Addons do, ASFU trys to print the addonname instead of a cryptic prefix.
This only works if the Prefix<-> Addonname relationship is in the Database already.
These Addons are marked with a suffix (_KNOWN) / colored in greeen
Attention: ASFU is deprecated and was replaced with the broker-based Spamalyzer. http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/spamalyzer.aspx. Updates will only happen for that Addon
If you know the addon that is currently named UNKNOWN_(Prefix) (yellow color) or find an Addon that isn't in the List already (colored in red) , drop me a note or feel free to add it to the svn-repo yourself.

Be carefully when you try to interpret the data asfu gives you, some addons like LibHealcomm need to send a lot of messages, but that wont necessarily cause disconnects /fps drops & wont kill your cat.
Too much traffic isnt needed, but by default, the wowserver tends to send a lot more than any addon ever will ;)
ASFU prints all messages from the addonmessagechannels to your favourite chattab. The channel settings refer to the statistics in the asfu-tooltip and the highlighting of messages in the chattab. Messages from the configured Channels are shown in the statistics /highlighted in chat
Also,if messages from your guildmates show in the statistics although you disabled GUILD, it might be an addon which exchanges versioninformation per WHISPER.
I have the feeling this does not honor the channel settings. Even with "GUILD" disabled it reports messages from guildies when I'm not even in a group, battleground or whatever.
Even if asfu is the only addon running (and therefore no fubar is active) it is still showing an icon at your minimap, that shows data.
Is there anyway to ignore addon traffic as opposed to players?

If i ignored all these CarboniteSpammers it would be rather quiet in my guild &server ;)

Some people use very old addons, there addon generate trash traffic... ignore this people and you get extra FPS in raid
Why should you ignore people depending on which addons they use? ;) You should rather ignore them based on their social behaviour . But its always nice to find out which addons generate the most traffic. But its nice that you find it useful
Great plugin... for tracking who need to be ignored
