I have noticed that meny of my members avoid the word filter on my forums by useing the code of bold or underline in the middle of the word. For example lets assume the word sponge is filtered they would get around this by doing the following.
s[b][/b]ponge
Is it possible to make it so [ b] etc cant be used unless there is something contained between them? Obviously I don't want to filter the word sponge it was just an example, I wouldn't like to post any of the words that I want to censor. |

What I did was use a preg_replace in the post(); function in combination with strip_tags. So any BBcode used, the tags will be stripped and the words will be replaced.
Though other alternatives are quite meaningless as people look for other ways to circumvent word filters.

some times i think the worst part about forums is the fact that people sign up. |

To be honest, if someone doesn't stop using profanity even after being told to, they obviously want to create trouble and your site can do without them after all. You should be able to moderate a small board yourself, and when it reaches a stage where you can't is when you need to start looking for staff. Auto censoring is never worth it imo. Occasionally, words that don't need censoring get censored* and there are ways around it.
* It used to be set up on Simple Machine Codes so that it doesn't censor only individual words, even when it is a part of another word. So, you couldn't spell out class without half the word vanishing.
