Censor Block 1.0.0
Censor Block is a moderation assistance tool that prevents vulgar words from being posted on a phpBB forum. When someone attempts to post on a forum, Censor Block will scan the post, subject, and username (for guests) for unallowed words. If a naughty word is detected, the post will not be entered into the database. Instead, the poster will be displayed an error message asking them to rephrase the post. The error message will include a preview of the post with the censor triggering words highlighted.
In addition to normal replies and topics, Censor Block will also check private messages, basic user profile fields, and text based custom profile fields when they are submitted.
The list of words that Censor Block will flag is controlled through the forum admin panel "Word Censors" area. An optional add-on to remove censor checks rendered obsolete by Censor Block is included.
