Chat filter

[Jeff Lebowski]

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.

No, the first part indicates which list of badwords to use while filtering. I told it to use neither.

No, the first part indicates which list to use to determine whether to kick people off the board - not which list to use to filter. That's a separate script.

This is what I am looking at:

This is the contents of the badwords.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<bad_words_list>
<word>somebadword1</word>
<word>somebadword2</word>
<word>somebadword3</word>
<word>somebadword4</word>
<word>somebadword5</word>
<word>somebadword6</word>
<word>somebadword7*</word>
<word>somebadword8</word>
<word>somebadword9</word>
<word>somebadword10</word>
<word>somebadword11</word>
<word>somebadword12</word>
<word>somebadword13</word>
<word>somebadword14</word>
<word>somebadword15</word>
<word>somebadword16</word>
<word>*somebadword17*</word>
<word>*somebadword18*</word>
<word>somebadword19</word>
<word>somebadword20</word>
<word>somebadword21</word>
<word>somebadword22</word>
<word>somebadword23</word>
<word>somebadword24</word>
</bad_words_list>

So why is it filtering?

Bear in mind that I'm making this up as I go, but that's what it looks like to me.

Dude, thanks for spending time working on this.

Sheesh. Finally figured it out. You have to go in through the flashchat admin cp (I didn't even know it existed) and edit the database directly. The substitutes are not all in a file, as many of the links let me to believe. There was an entry in the database that filtered ALL words starting in b and ending in h to be filtered.

b**h --> b**h

Now, what is the logic of that?

Anyway, I turned off all of the filters so now you can let your inner Tourette Syndrome go wild.

yeah, that's what we had concluded. It does it even if it's a substring within a larger word, too. It's absolutely maddening.

Thanks for figuring that out.
