Oh Bugger, that bloody sware filter doesn't work on those words.

Recently you couldn't say 'situation' as that was strangely filtered. It's obviously been fixed now.

You still can't say that place in Linconshire near the Humber bridge, S****horpe!

[ChrisRs]

S****horpe

[ChrisRs]

Youre bloody well right too

[gadgetman]

S****horpe cant be fixed as IP board doesnt seem to have an exception list.

Unless some one can tell us to do this? Or Colin might be able to resolve upon his return.

It's a common thing for forums, you can't get the **** out of Scun-thorpe.

let's see if this wikipedia page works wikipedia - Scun,thorpe problem

Luckily "Phuket" is allowed, I was trying to book a flight there a few years back, but the booking website filters wouldnt let me!!!

Bloody is a bit of an old skool swear word so i didn't think it necessary to include when i setup the filtered word list. Does it offend anyone other than pensioners?

[Aspman]

Arse ****

There I've doubled your offensive capabilities

[Lazy Daisy]

Does it offend anyone other than pensioners?

No, but I'm offended by pensioners.

[greenstripe]

No need to post rude words -Being offensive just comes naturally to me

Ok, perhaps you can explain to a software engineer how it is that you can test for the 4 character string "****" and not for the 6 character one "%20c*nt%20", thus removing the "Scun-thorpe" problem?

[GentleGiant]

Is "****-Flaps" allowed??

Obviously not!!!!

Yes. Turn the swear filter off. You hear worse coming from the mouths of 8 years olds these days.

Bad Word Filters

Word filters are an effective way to automatically moderate the members of your community. For example to prevent swearing and bad language.

To setup Bad Word Filters, visit the Look & Feel tab of your ACP, and select Bad Word Filters under Post Content.

When adding a new filter, there are 3 settings for each word. "Before" and "After" are the word to filter, and the replacement, respectively.<br />

The next dropdown, titled "Method" has two options - Exact and Loose. Exact filtering requires an exact match for a word to be censored. Loose filtering will filter that block of text, regardless if there are other characters before or after it. For example, if you created a loose filter for "hell" users would also be censored for saying "hello", so be careful as you might find genuine words have potentially bad words within them.

Might be of some use.

Would that solve th S****horpe issue though?

[gadgetman]

Thanks, but doesnt seem to work.

S****horpe still triggers even with it set to look for exact matches. One for Colin.....

[gullyg]

I take it there's no way to remove filters through the aformentioned admin control panel?

Well only one word for that...

S****horpe!

[Babs]

Or, just turn the filter off.

[David 8]

Or, just turn the filter off.

How about no .....

HTH
