badwords list per user

[FASherman]

To censor or not to censor, that is the question.

The answer, so far, has been not to because I see it as a restriction of freedom of speech.

However, if individual users had the ability to manage their own personal badwords list, then it is self-censorship based on an individuals own sense of what is acceptable or not.

1. Create a new custom Profile Field
2. Hookname: global_start
   
   PHP Code:

   $vbulletin->options['censorwords'] = $vbulletin->userinfo['fieldx']; 
   

Hack complete.

Anyway to do this with replacement variables instead of the built in censorship for vb?

I had the User Optional Censorship hack installed and I am still using the replacement variables to censor just now users can not turn it on and off....

Didn't really test it, but theoretically that should be it.

Just gave it a try. No affect. I guess nothing is ever as easy as it seems.

I would think it would go in hooks global complete not start.

@FASherman
Tested and seems to work fine for me ...

Userfield is a single line text box with the words space delimited, right?

[Andreas]

Yep. The postcache could be causing Problems though ...
