Problem with the censor

Bard

I don't mean to blow the whistle on a so-called "bug" or give you admin types extra work or anything, but I'd suggest that you somehow build into the code that when you do the "profanity" check for "naughty" words, it ignores the opening and closing BOLD and ITALIC UBB tags.

This would avoid people being able to write...

Fuck
Shit
Arse

... etc.

Just a thought... if this is too tricky, I'd suggest deleting *this* post, so that not too many people will pick up on the idea as a way around the censorship.

It seems to me that the hassle factor in typing

"f[b]u[/b]ck"

is more than enough of a deterent.

Besides, then you'd have to find a way to stop letters like ú é á ó í. And then you'd also have to stop l33tsp3@k words like fu<k. And then there's the simple method of creating a pic with the offending word included.

hmmm it stripped out my bold code and left the word fúck intact. Odd, has the server developed an attitude problem?

P.s I'd like to nominate Bard for "Most Pendantic Moderator" in the Boards.ie Awards.

Seriously though there are just so many ways in getting around the censorship which are a lot easier then this. There would be no point

No - it would appear you can't have bold in code.
