color tag - users hiding text from mods

[Nxs]

as posted on VB.COM : http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=301363


I have a few users who have got the idea to hide post content from moderators by changing the color to white (same as the background)

Any ideas how to stop this? The only idea I have at the moment is to globaly disable the BB color tag.

Only other idea I have is to do a mod similar to this one which stops people posting URL links if they havent met a 15 post rule, could tweak this so if you are in a certain group the colour code is not permitted.

Open to any ideas.

Do you use the Infraction system on your forum? Post an announcement that that is unacceptable and users will be infracted heavily for doing that.

Yeah can do - but its finding them in the first place.

Hmmmm, you can do a database search for the word "white" (or the color code) in the posts, but I'm not sure how you would find it using your regular admin tools.

Quick fix - if others are interested (and want to keep the color BB code enabled, but stop all the hard to read colors)

Added the following to the censored words in VC


[color=# [color=white [color="white [color="# [color="AliceBlue [color=AliceBlue [color="Azure [color=Azure [color="Beige [color=Beige [color="Cornsilk [color=Cornsilk [color="FloralWhite [color=FloralWhite [color="Ghost [color=Ghost [color="Ivory [color=Ivory [color="LavenderBlush [color=LavenderBlush [color="LightGoldenRodYellow [color=LightGoldenRodYellow [color="LightYellow [color=LightYellow [color="Linen [color=Linen [color="MintCream [color=MintCream [color="OldLace [color=OldLace [color="SeaShell [color=SeaShell [color="snow [color=snow [color="LemonChiffon [color=LemonChiffon [color='white [color='# [color='AliceBlue [color='Azure [color='Beige [color='Cornsilk [color='FloralWhite [color='Ghost [color='Ivory [color='LavenderBlush [color='LightGoldenRodYellow [color='LightYellow [color='Linen [color='MintCream [color='OldLace [color='SeaShell [color='snow [color='LemonChiffon

Thats fixed it for now - so many colors out there !
