ban url

[deepak7]

How can you ban some urls so they wont be displayed on your forums and turn into http ***** (and no link!).

Saw that on a forum.
I think its not done with censored words right?

I could not find anything.

Censor the word. Make sure that you are specific though. If you ban the word ban bandaid will be **daid.

Its done with censored words only !!

suppose you censor a word called shoes, then the link, if contains the word shoes instead of displaying as http://www.shoes.com would display as http://www.****.com

AdminCP > vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options > Censorship Options > Censored Words

Try entering the end of the url e.g. "vbulletin.org"

The other option is to use Replacement Variables and then you can have it spit out whatever you want.

in my forum, all words are blocked which are containing l i n k characters.

for example; when user write; i love you it can be seem like this;

* *ove you

i want to only block; l i n k but i can't do this

[Wired1]

Add l i n k to the replacement variables list.

[erdiyilmaz]

I can block sensor only when the item link.com written like this.

if there is space between the capitals (e.g: l i n k . c o m)

I cannot block them.

People will always try to circumvent censoring, you'd have to block all kinds of things in order to prevent any resemblance to the link. Just censor the main link and warn/state in your rules that people should not try to circumvent the censor. Give them a warning or ban them if they try to.

Banning all permutations is not really a practical just tell people not to and punish people that try to get around it.
