Oh no, we're doomed! :'-(
Nah, kidding. Most people don't use addons, or only some criticals for their gameplay, so this one will probably have a very few user base. I don't feel it will change things by itself.
But, following the discussion on the other thread, i got an idea to make people who are annoyed by spam, like me, happy with that kind of addon.
Feature Request : add an OptOut option.
I install that addon, and check the "stop buging me" option. To that point, all others users of that addon can't whisp me when they masp whisp people. Sure, OptOut is worst than OptIn (things addons like vQueue are doing), and all the poor souls who don't use a spam protection will suffer, but at least, it's a thing.
Maybe using an "hidden channel" to makes addons communicate who want to receive spam, and who don't ?
And if it blocks all whisps (maybe you can't differenciate a whisp from a mass whisp) from active users of that addon, it's ok. Not a goal by itself, but i probably won't appreciate spending time with spammers, so, no big loss. But if it blocks whisps from passives users (the one like me who don't want to be annoyed), it's not ok! ^^
