  • Chat filter

    When one of those in charge has some time could you look at the filter on the flash chat. Pretty much any word with a B in it the filter things one is trying to say bitch and types it out as b***h. As example I said behind and it put, b***h ind.

    I realize chat isn't all that used so this is not a high priority. Thanks.

      yeah, anything that starts wtih a B and ends with an H gets filtered, even if it's just a string within a longer word. Also anything with -cum- gets dropped, so for example you can't type circumstance. Counterintuitively, you're free to drop as many s--ts and f-bombs as you want. It's definitely an odd (and highly ineffective) little filter.

        I spent a couple of hours on it once with no luck. I can take another look.

          can you just disable it? Or was that what you were trying to do?

            Yes, I was trying to disable it. There is supposed to be some kind of bad words list in php files, but I could never locate it.

              no idea if that's right.

                There is no such folder or file. But there is a "chat/inc/badwords.php" file. Here are the contents of the file:

                <?php
                $GLOBALS['filename'] = 'badwords';
                include(INC_DIR.'get_config.php');
                ?>

                  Do you know if this is version 5.0.11? supposedly the filter bug was fixed in the .11 release, but I'm skeptical.

                    This is cool. You can still see all the threads and post, but you can't get to the homepage. Weird.

                      Try it now. I just upgraded to Flashchat 5.011. Seems to have the same problem with the filter.

                      Did you find a link to information about the filter bug?

                        I found tons of links but none of them with any consistent info.

                          I just figured out how to turn the filter off. Or so I thought. I found this config.xml file:

                          <?xml version="1.0" ?>
                          <main>
                          <config>
                          <use_xml_badwords>false</use_xml_badwords>
                          <use_php_badwords>false</use_php_badwords>
                          </config>

                          <bad_words_settings>
                          <frequency>1</frequency>

                          </bad_words_settings>

                          </spam_settings>
                          </main>


                          Note that I changed the first two flags to false. Uploaded to server, but it is still filtering. Dang, I thought that would fix it for sure.

                            But that looks like that's just a script to automatically block users that use the "badwords" too often or spam the board with the same post repeatedly. But that's a start. At least now we know we won't get kicked off for typing breath or circumstances too often.

                              How about sending an email to Darren over at tufat? He has always been helpful with the scripts I bought from him.
