Can the forum software automatically blank out certain words?



















Can you make it blank out MUQ and NUQ and all textspeak please?

I'm no software expert but I'd imagine it would be a right cnut of a job
 
I've no furnishing idea what you chairs are going on about.
 
I presumed forum software would be able to *** out swearwords--no point in doing that on this forum as there'd be little left to read.
 
From the FAQ:
Why have some of the words in my post been blanked
Certain words may have been censored by the administrator. If your posts contain any censored words, they will be blanked-out like this: ****.

The same words are censored for all users, and censoring is done by a computer simply searching and replacing words. It is in no way 'intelligent'.


It is possible! Please banish MUQ to the past!
 
We've resisted the temptation to turn on the censor thus far as discussions of our major rivals like S****horpe and minor leaguers like ****nal would be affected. I think the last modly vote on the issue was pretty much unanimous. The idea of knocking out irritations like MUQ & NUQ would be well worthwhile though and we'll look into it as Niall would need to do the required tinkering.

Text bllx is more difficult to deal with as the idiots would just find new txt to replace that we had banned. The best way to deal with them is to name and shame them on the spot and if it persists a spell back in the newbie until the problem dissappears would be merited.
 
Thanks Bury.

So now we need a sticky name and shame thread for all persistent offenders of textspeak and MUQ/NUQ. :D
 
I'm tempted to use the words *** and *** and txt speak but I'm afraid of Bury Red so I won't :nervous:
 
If MUQ and the like are annoying for most people then by all means take action but **** out bad language is IMO entirely out of place given the environement here. It's an adult forum let's keep it that way I'm thinking.

I'm certainly not suggesting that swearwords be ***'d out.


Unless directed at me.

:lol: I know I was just making a general statement.
 
*** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** ***

I couldnt believe it until i tried it.

It works.
 
After seeing the van der sar thread in the MU forum it's a bit stupid, can people just have warn levels and those that persistanly use text speak etc there warn level goes up a bit?
