Censoring bad words....

Hi Mods and admins,

I got a suggestion here. Recently we faced problem with a user who was using bad words...

Bad words are very harmful to the site generally. It may screw the reputation of the forum.

My suggestion is, It is better to put a filter kind of thing before one post a reply or start a thread.

Here is an example.

If one user posts the following line:
"****ing concept"


It would get post and displayed like this:
"******* concept"


These kinda filters will always keep forum clean and safe.

Marun,

Those who actively particiapte in this site, do not use such language. What we post here in this site is from a consious mind. We think & rethink our thoughts before pouring it here.

Having said that, You have used two abusive words yourself, that too consiously!

I guess this wont be a big problem in ladies forum

Hi Justani,

I am not talking about the actively participating pals in forum. Some Login with cruel intentions as well. Recently it even happened to one of my thread. We need to see in all aspects in an open portal and huge one like IL.

I am very well aware of folks posting stuffs with conscious mind and rethink. What i came to say is about the people who intentionally come to abuse.

I have used couple of bad words just to show an example. I apologize if it is wrong.

Cheers,
Marun

Hi aparajithaa,

Obviously this wont be a problem generally. But there was a convo recently happened to my thread which showed me that using those kind of words are abusive as per the forum etiquette.

There are chances, one can login with some cruel intentions. It is always better to put these filters. There are forums which has implemented these to be in safe side to avoid those kind of convos. While flambaiting happens, these kind of filters always helps a lot.

Dear Admins,Moderators,
just a thought,if possible please add dictionary in to this IL,so if someone don't know the exact english word,they can use it if they typed it wrongly...did i explained you all correctly????
thanx.

Marun, that is a good idea. I just implemented a filtering system that put "*" on some extreme bad words. As JustAni and Aparajitha say, we haven't faced this issue that much. Will see how things go and we can tweak. Once again, thanks for the suggestion.
