Show Thread Enhancements - FractalizeR: Extended Post Censor

What this hack does?
This hack is a post censor, that will replace unwanted words and phrases by the values you specify.

Features:

• Supports standard replace
• Supports replacing using regular expressions
• Allows to apply censor only to specified usergroups
• On-the-fly regular expression syntax checking

Some use cases:

• I don't like posts with multiple exclamation or question marks. Maximum three signs is allowed.
• Sometimes you ban competitor forum names from using on your forum. But users enter them separating letters by spaces or underscores. This is unwanted and it is difficult to deal with using standard censor
• Any forms of curses and bad words should be replaced by XXX

Version was tested under VB 3.6.8, but supposed to work on any 3.6.x release. Please report all compatibility issues here.

Please look at control panel screenshot below (please mind, that I am russian and screenshots are from russian forum, so for example usergroup names are incorrectly displayed when I set langauge to English).

Did anyone find a solution to the errors me & brandonury are getting??

[dartho]

This looks like what I may be looking for.

I would like to have rules in place to censor words so that guests or Registered users will see '*'s in place of swear words, but one specific secondary usergroup will see still the uncensored post.

Is this how the "censor for this usergroup' works?

In regards to censoring titles, I see that THIS add-on by Calorie has options for censoring Titles also (although the logic behind the add-on is entirely different) - do you think it may be possible to implement something for titles?

Thanks


[Edit]

Just had a look at the code - this kind of does the opposite to what I want in regards to censoring posts. I'm sure it will just take adding an '!' or two in the right place to make this apply to ALL users groups except those checked in the admincp options - any help appreciated!

Thanks

Anyone using on 3.6.8p2 ?
I installed it with no changes (empty replacements)
and the posts all show up with no message text.

I added the default example replacements, same story, no message text.

Oddly, this is for all users, not only the usergroups selected in the configuration screen.

2Big_Ern:
Still cannot reproduce error on my PC, but will check these days.

sorry for the delay, I`ve already tried it, but it doesn`t work.

'/\s+[A-Za-z_\.]+@[A-Za-z_]+\.[A-Za-z_]+\s+/' =>'XXX@XXX.XXX'

i leave the screen shot, in order that you see can check it.
thank you very much

Same problem for me on 3.6.8p2

I was wondering if you have people putting stuff like For Sale and you ban for sale and then they come back with F O R S A L E. Will it attack that? Or will it make every f and o and so on on the board a *. If this can't be done with this hack anyone know how to attack this kind of behavior?

[FractalizeR]

It is impossible. Forget about blocking advertising names. Better hire more moderators to keep and eye on ads spammers.

[mikeinjersey]

I remember members on my forum would try to bypass the censor filter by changing the font size or color of certain letters...so that it would pass through the censor.

example : FONT COLOR=BLACK , etc..

Can this mod fix that , so it doesnt pass through censor anymore ? has anyone here tried it ?

[RTWAP]

Has anyone used this with 3.8.2?

To mikeinjersey: Regular expressions are very powerful. You can search for "F|f" followed by zero or more "[*]" followed by "U|u" ... and so on.

[accludetuner]

will be testing on 3.8.4
