word filter

[slipknotpsycho]

I agree that it should be a personal filter, I'm not sure how one would go about implementing it on a message board, I'm not a programmer. If you use firefox, you could probably get a plug-in that censors swearing.

I know that on another message board that i frequent, that you can block entire users posts from showing up. So if there's a poster that you really don't care for, and you're viewing a message that they've posted, it just comes up "You have blocked X user's posts, click here to see".

So yeah, if there's no remedy available directly on the cannabis.com forums, try and see if you can find some filtering software.

you can do that here too

What? I couldn't read what you said :P haha

I don't feel like outing them by name, but about a month ago I had enough of said member. he was the only person I've negatively repped, after neg repping me for no reason, he took me down two points. So I put him in the red and told him he'd actually have to be nice to people to get his rep back. he turned it off

Hardcore Newbie,

thanks for your suggestion for the filtering software. I tried and tried and tried to search for some good software (hopefully freeware) that would work as a word filter but I couldn't find anything.

I ended up doing what you said and downloading firefox and I got the procon add on. I'm still tinkering with it but it seems to be not working, blocking some of the same word out, while other are left unblocked. There's another filter for greasemonkey so I'm going to try to download that.

Hmmm, I can't say i know exactly how the software works, but if I were to make the software, there'd be a few lists of words and levels of tolerance, but there would also be a place to add words and variations. If I didn't want to see the word "Frank" in my browsing, I should be able to put that, and also determine whether it's case sensitive or not. if I knew anything about programming I'd make one for you

:rasta:With the firefox procon you have to create a white list along with a banned word list. I use it on my jump drive for firefox and you have to literally build your data base. Once you get it done it works great.

The software for this forum actually has a word filtering option. You can not only outright block words, you can have it change words so, like, if I type "damn" it comes out "darn" in my post.

But this is an admin function and, as far as I know, it is an all-or-nothing option; it either has to apply to the entire forum or nothing - it can't be activated by individual users.
