If you want to set up word censoring and dont want start from scratch inputing words into the ACP. Here is a sql file you can import or run a sql command to get you a starter list, here is what i have so far. Feel free to add to it if needed.

The words censor does not prevent users from posting words. It prevents other users from seeing the words.

Correct, i misspoke. Yes they can post the words at first but then it will be replaced during page view, thanks for the correction

Here is one for the disallow table (disallow usernames) as well if anyone wants to use it.

Please be sure your admins do not use any of those names before you add this.

Also note under post settings there is a configuration for word censoring allowing the user to turn it on or off.

Allow disabling of word censoring:

You can also use wildcards, poop* will match poopsandwhich. Be careful with the wildcards because you can also match common words. Petcock for example is a word used on forum occasionally so a wild card for the slang term can't be used.

@thecoalman great info... thanks

I suppose someone could write some js to catch the words in real time as they are being typed using the onChange event but that might create alot of false positives depending on the word spelling.
