That was very fast, and works like a charm, thanks so much! :)

Would it be possible that this MOD also prevent users from using trailing periods (i.e., .....)?

Dismounted

04-11-2007 11:35 AM

Yes, I'll do it later.

Can this somehow be worked in for threads too?? lol

Can you have it so that its only applied to certain usergroups?

I was wondering what happened to this. There was a thread about this and we never heard back from you.

I think the ultimate product would allow you to set usergroups, what punctuation you can block, and how much punctuation until it starts getting limited. :) And of course applying this to more than thread titles.

Just my $.02

Wow, I must say; this is pretty good! I'll provide some examples for those skeptical users.

Example for thread title (Before):

Code:

Test...... @@@@ !!!! #### $$$$ %%%%% !@#$%.

After:

Code:

Test. @ ! # $ % !

For posts (Before):

It kind of works, but...

If a user writes "Hello!!!???" and you have a limit of 1, then it strips out all the ???. Instead it *should* make it "Hello!?"

HTH.

Dismounted

04-27-2007 06:13 AM

That's how it works I'm afraid. I'll have a look to get around it, but that's how the regex works.

xlguy

04-27-2007 09:46 AM

Thanks for looking in to it, I wonder whether it can loop the routine on each character or something?

Does this add a query to the threaddisplay?

Dismounted

04-29-2007 05:33 AM

No, all the required information is already fetched in $vbulletin->options.

Any plans for a slightly more aggressive companion add-on to this one called "Prevent Character Assassination in Posts"?

Dismounted

04-30-2007 05:56 AM

What would be different?

The comma seperated exempt option doesnt work b.t.w. You can put in 1 usergroup ID, but you can't do more than 1 with a comma. Seems your missing a line or two of code ;)

Dismounted

05-02-2007 07:26 AM

I'll have a look into it :).

I had a request for this hack. One of the common uses of legal repeated characters is for a series of three ellipses like "..." so what I would like to see is an option to change any string of four or more periods to three periods. This is something especially important to forums that have stories and fan fiction. In addition, two periods could be set to change to one or three as the admin saw appropriate.

Dismounted

05-10-2007 11:36 AM

Why don't you just set the max depth to 3?

I'd rather not set the max depth to three because I want all other characters to be limited to one instance. Since an ellipses is a legal form of grammar it might be worth making an exception in this case.

Thanks for your consideration.

Phillip Chapman

One more feature that would be fantastic would be an option to limit one paragraph return at a time in posts. Since some people like to leave a lot of excess space in posts this would be a great way to automatically remove that excess.

Maybe this is your design, but it seems that when posted in advanced mode that your hack is automatically applied whereas in quick reply the user gets a warning. It would be nice if the hack was applied invisibly on a quick reply message as well.

Again, thanks for all the work that you have put into this so far.

Dismounted

1./ I'll have a look at it.
2./ That is just the nature of vBulletin. I could probably do a workaround, but it'd probably use more resources so it'd do more bad than good.

ok it doesn't work with Arabic language , but it still a nice mod

Dismounted

05-30-2007 01:52 AM

That's because Arabic uses non-standard characters.

I've fixed that bug in my own files ages ago, it's minor, so I didn't make a new release of it.

The character / (forward slash) is causing the errors. I'm looking into solutions.

Yes, I already know this. It can't be helped.

If you could place a rule for every character individually it would be perfect.

Has anyone tried this modification with 3.8.x? I would love to get something like this, it's a great mod and I can't believe it's still not part of the default program!

Dismounted

02-05-2009 03:56 AM

It should work on 3.8.x, but I am not 100% sure.
