Regarding the automatic ban, what I've done so far, is to compare the original text written by the poster, with the text returned by the censor routine. If they are not the same, then we have censorship, which means the poster used bad words.

This I can trap and return it to the newreply.php file, I tested it yesterday. I get all the required info, userid, post id, etc. Now, I have to figure out (a) where to put the warning code so that it is used for either a new reply or a new thread or whatever and (b) how to code it, so that it does warn properly. Several issues have to be resolved, for example, there should be a specific warning type, which you should create and which will be known to the program (that's an issue, what if the program expects to find warning 999 and you have created 888?) etc.

As for the warning and banning per forum, that can be quite a bit of work, I do not see it coming unless vB changes some things in the code.
