Is there any way to ban posts with naughty words?

[zxb234]

I've searched my admin panel high and low to see if there is a way to put in a stop work list to ban any posts containing the words "s**", "b**bs", viagra, etc. Not having any luck - getting inundated with hardcore spam.

Does anyone know if there is a function like this available that is already in the admin?

thanks

Use the vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options > Censorship Options setting group to manage the words you specify to be placed with characters.

All message titles and messages will be affected.
Note:
To use the censor feature on your site, don't forget to activate it!
Censorship Enabled - You may have certain words censored on your forum. Words you choose to censor will be replaced by the character you specify below. All message titles and messages will be affected.
Character to Replace Censored Words - This character (or characters) will be used to replace censored words. For example, if you have censored the word 'dog' and you set the censor character here to an asterisk (*) then any occurrences of 'dog' in messages will appear as '***'.
Censored Words - Type all words you want censored in the field below. Do not use commas to separate words, just use spaces. For example, type "dog cat boy", rather than "dog, cat, boy."

If you type "dog", all words containing the string "dog" would be censored (dogma, for instance, would appear as "***ma"). To censor more accurately, you can require that censors occur only for exact words. You can do this by placing a censor word in curly braces, as in {dog}. Signifying "dog" in the curly braces would mean that dogma would appear as dogma, but dog would appear as "***". Thus your censor list may appear as: cat {dog} {barn} barn

Do not use quotation marks and make sure you use curly braces, not parentheses, when specifying exact words.
Blank ASCII Character Stripper - If there are certain raw ASCII characters you would like to strip from posts/usernames etc, enter their ASCII numbers here, separated by spaces.

Please note that stripping raw ASCII characters with this setting may break some double-byte languages. If you are unsure, remove the contents of this setting.
Note:
If your forum is set up to use UTF-8 character encoding then this setting will need to be emptied.
