I'm kind of in a mood.

Most people stopped coding addons like that a year ago+ for a reason. The entire functionality can be easily well-replicated either with just a lua and toc file:

FakeGM/core.lua

FAKE_GM_ON = false
local Old_SendChatMessage = SendChatMessage
SendChatMessage = function(msg, ...)
    if FAKE_GM_ON == true then
        msg = "|TInterfaceChatFrameUI-ChatIcon-Blizz.blp:0:2:0:-3|t " .. msg
    end
    Old_SendChatMessage(msg, ...)
end
SlashCmdList["FAKEGM"] = function()
    if FAKE_GM_ON == true then
        FAKE_GM_ON = false
        DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Fake GM disabled.")
    else
        FAKE_GM_ON = enabled
        DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Fake GM enabled.")
    end
end
SLASH_FAKEGM1 = "/fakegm"
SLASH_FAKEGM2 = "/gmtoggle"

FakeGM/FakeGM.toc

## Interface: 24000
## Title: Fake GM
core.lua

(toggle with /fakegm or /gmtoggle)
or the entire thing could be replicated in a macro that you run before each time you'd like to start.

/script local SCM=SendChatMessage SendChatMessage=function(t,...)if(FGM)then t="124TInterfaceChatFrameUI-ChatIcon-Blizz.blp:0:2:0:-3124t "..t end SCM(t,...) end SlashCmdList["FGM"]=function()if(FGM)then FGM=nil else FGM=true end end SLASH_FGM1="/fgm"

Entire thing comes in under macro max length (251 chars), still has a toggle slash command (/fgm); only difference is that you have to run it before you do /fgm if you haven't since the last time you've reloaded UI (or started game, etc.), and that you don't get a chat message notification of it being enabled/disabled.

Haven't tested any of this, but I can't see any syntax errors.

Basically, my point is: badly hacked up gigantic bloated badly-coded mod is bad.
19+3 lines of relatively, extremely-low-impact code that could even be made further elegant with a few seconds of cleanup is good.

K? Enjoy your UI using like, 150KB less memory.
(oh, and the formatting on the GM icon in chat thing was taken directly from ChatFrame.lua, so its positioning should be spot-on)

Like I said, I'm in kind of a mood.

edit: forgot /script i'm a half-retard. still 251 chars.

K? Enjoy your UI using like, 150KB less memory.

okay your code is definitely better (mine has 11kb not 150kb btw its a total myth that addons could really slow down wow (except load screen) mobmap has far more then 5mb...)
but its like i sayed i made it just 4 fun and basically just for me so i didnt care about the quality/compression of the code.

[shadowbladex]

Lmao.. i got a lot of accounts on private servers with this. Nice.

[forsaken95]

Lol it doesn't work for me... Ive writed /gmon but it doesnt worked...

[H3llf!re]

@orsaken95: u must have done anything wrong. /gmon MUST work even if u have colorme (forgot to tell u that u have to turn of cm if u've got it) it might be that u get an error when u try to speak or that the message will be blocked by the server or u get a dc.... but /gmon must work! did u pit the addon in the addon folder? have u restartet wow after that?

[forsaken95]

I puted (sry for bad english) it to the addons map... but i doesnt work :S. And i restarted wow. if is write /gmon its say /help for a few commands

[Aelus]

I love how people actually think sometimes this stuff works on real. And if it did that it would even be shared/free

[H3llf!re]

I puted (sry for bad english) it to the addons map... but i doesnt work :S. And i restarted wow. if is write /gmon its say /help for a few commands

if the help page is displayed it means that the addon isnt loaded. it must be in wow/interface/addon perhaps its unchecked (addon menu on char select)

Its Not Working It Just Turns My Text Yellow.

[H3llf!re]

Its Not Working It Just Turns My Text Yellow.

u must write /gmon and then /gm

[MarkoTheHunter]

Rolf nice it works... when i typed hello like all of the ppl say hello gm xD

[spikerlol]

It works, but when a person was about to give me their account info, I told them that their stats were fixed. I dont have the heart for scamming people =(.

[dontblink438]

lol nice addon, now i can just go around and mess with my friends lol

[ArmoredFish]

LOL I used this on a toxic, and all I said in /1 durotar was how was everyone doing, and incredibly, everyone beleived I was a GM and they were all really nice to me. So I started to just do a /s chat in org and I had tons of people around be asking me about bugs and stuff and then I got a ban oh well tons more to go to +rep
