swear words
| Posted by Codebird, 03-27-2008, 01:00 PM |
| Hello,
did anybody already worked on something like a forum and he had to filter swear words?
I am searching for the best solution to do so. So please any suggestions will be very much thanked.
Thanks in advance

| I had this lying around
The only problem is that {harassment} shows up as {har***ment}. I'll see if I can find a solution to this.
And as you can see the bad word filter in vBulletin is messing with my source code! :p

| Okay I have played with it a little bit.
Luckily it is case insensitive (that might have been tricky otherwise).
@$$ = *** ... had to change it in the source to make it legible because of VB's filter.
Problem is it doesn't recognize the last .***. (for obvious reasons).
Maybe someone else has some input on how to do this? I'm probably going about it the wrong way.

| To prevent partial words from being filtered out inside of other words, use word boundries.

| ok maybe I wasn't so clear, I would like to have the list of swear words. The problem is not the function cause the function maybe will change with respect to each site, and the place of the swear words list... what I need is the list of swear words
Thanks

| Well, now it's kinda off topic but others might be interested.
Basically I modified phpBB's swear filter to allow dictionary without needing a database.

| I see, well you might ask people to email you their list, because I don't think you'll be able to have people post the words you need here (they'd be filtered).
