Could you just not make another field (or text box) which the automatic warnings run from? Instead of using the words listed in the censored list, have a warning list and when someone types in a word which is in the warning list, they get warned and the words they typed are still shown as they are not censored.

ALSO you could have (if you want) 3 different boxes for the sevearily of the word.

For examply,

Very Very naughty words: (type words in the box, if uses types in one of the words he gets 5 warning points)

Naughty words: (type words in the box, if uses types in one of the not so nautghy words he only gets 2 points)

Not so naughty: like prick, twat (they will get 1 warning point)
Just a suggestion.

All these could be done, but with lot's of coding. At the moment, I am just trapping the censored words, by just comparing the messages, before and after they are parsed by the vB's routine. If they are different, then the user typed bad words, so I issue the warning. If I were to code everything from the beginning, it would take me months (or who knows, weeks? days? hours?).

We'll see, you never know.

But what I wrote before, that I do not know what the user wrote, is not true. If you activate the Automatic PM Warning option, you will see that it adds a report to your AdminCP, in which you can see the original text, as it was typed before being censored. I do not do the same in the simple posts, because it is obvious that whatever got replaced by **** was a bad word. The PM goes from one user to another, the rest of us, do not see it.
