Info:
This mod allows a user to toggle word censorship from an option in their profile.
The following areas are covered by this mod:
Forum lists
Viewing threads/posts
Viewing user profiles
Groups
Albums
Who's Online list
Tags
Searches
Most private message stuff
Usertitles
It works by disabling censorship globally (so text gets into the database uncensored) and then selectively re-enabling it if the user has censorship enabled in their profile.
Installation:
Enable word censorship in the AdminCP area under vBulletin options and configure the words to block.
Import the XML file as a product under the 'Plugin System --> Manage Products' area of the AdminCP.
By default the censorship option in their profile will be checked, which disables word censorship.
You can change some product options for this mod by selecting the 'User Censorship Options' setting group from the vBulletin Options area in the AdminCP.
Uninstalling:
If you remove this product and want to stick with the normal vBulletin censoring system, then update the post cache and clear the parsed signatures under the 'Maintenance --> Update Counters' area of the AdminCP.

I'm just like you with this Mod. I needed something that users could disable the word censor at their discretion because I had to have a censor on to get past work filters and other things...
After fixing my own screw up initially (enabling and disabling mix up), it works really well for me. Words are censored when I'm not logged in. when I'm logged in as myself and the censored list is disabled it works.
I'm running vBadvanced 4 on my vBulletin 4.0.3 board and I was sort of confused about you wondering if it would work with vBadvanced. Unless you are inputting the text into a Page or a custom Module, I would think that everything else is pretty much pulling from the forum into vBadvanced .. so it should follow the censorship setup you put on for your forum.... In any case, I have my site set up where vBadvanced pulls specific Threads I have prefixed from my forum so that my Vbadvanced looks more like a Blog on the outside b and all of the profanity is censored on vBadvanced .
OK one more question... lets say I decide to remove this mod one day- now all the posts are in the database uncensored... will old posts show uncensored to everyone or will the default built in vb censor still censor words when displaying them even though they made it into the database uncensored?

If you remove the product then you need to rebuild the post cache and signatures cache (per the uninstall info for the mod) so that words that made it in uncensored will once again be censored. As long you rebuild the cache it will work as expected.
Install instructions say "Enable word censorship in the AdminCP area under vBulletin options and configure the words to block", but can additional words to be censored still be added after this is installed?
