Now if there's only a way to make FluxBB overlook BBCode...

Well, if we have it run the filter after all the BBCode, but do it twice. In the first, use $text, but in the second, use strip_html($text).

Actually, that wouldn't work, because it wouldn't know how to put the HTML back.

The censor system should be easy to modify to disqualify [b],[i] etc.

I've honestly never seen this happen, how big of a problem could it really be?

Maybe ScratchBB will be able to do that.

Yeah, if we figure it out...

1) create a copy of the text to work with
2) strip out bbcode of the copy
3) strip out spaces and newlines of the copy
4)run the filter on the copy
5)calculate what was striped so it knows the position where the swear words appeard
6)censor it

This probably will work.

It probably will work, but it would take awhile for it to do all of this so posts wouldn't show up instantaniously. I guess waiting for the post to show up is better than people saying cuss words.

:/ I'm sure no matter what people would find workarounds

Well, Ponify just replaces words to something else, I'm sure it's possible to do this. Whenever someone says that word it just changes to buck to me anyway, it's pretty funny to watch people rage in ponese.

@Liru: For me it changes to "****". It would be funny to see people do that, but with the word "buck"

the trouble is, a troll could do any of the following (imagine "lego" was a cuss word):

le[b][/b]go

l*go

le go

l-e-g-o

Let
Everyone
Go
Outside

l.e.g.o

Wouldn't the second one be the same as censoring it? 

I'm attempting (and failing) to code a filter which strips and replaces bbcode.

I have an idea! It could do a "preview" type thing, copy the text from the preview, and then run the filter! Becuase when its previewed you cant see the BBCODE.

I've actually never seen this happen. What I have seen is people replacing letters with accented versions though.
