phpBB word censor

Post by phpScott »

does this forum actively use the word censor feature?

I trying to find a list of banned words that I can put into my clients site without having to think of all the bad words that I can.

Just a basic list to get started, as after I hand over the site it will be up to them to keep it updated.

cheers

testing: <span style='color:blue' title='I&#39;m naughty, are you naughty?'>smurf</span>

yes, we do use one ;). I tried doing a quick google to see if I could come up with a downloadable list of unappropriate words, but didnt have much luck. Perhaps downlaod a copy of phpbb and check which words they store in the db.

I have phpbb set up on our testing server, but haven't looked to see if phpBB comes with any preinstalled.

I also google searched and did a search on ppbb's website but couldn't find anything.

If not I will maybe pm you to see if you can arrange for me to get a copy of the word list that this site is using for a start.

Cheers.

I had to find a banned word list and I could never find one. So I had to go to the trouble of making one. I'm happy to share what I created.

Hope it helps

that should get them started thanks neophyte.
All though I'm a little :oops: at the moment from reading some of the words.
English can certainly be a colourful language.

You're welcome. I didn't enjoy trolling for the words either. If your feeling brave try googling "foul words".... 8O

Not.
