Spam

Post by A Vicious Muffin »

I don't know if this has been suggested before, but to cut down on spam, how bout we use a filter to get rid of words we don't need on the forum (nude, other non-bzflag things that are inapropriate...etc...) This way, any post with those words or links in them will not be able to be posted. Is this even possible?

The update of the forums that happened yesterday (Fri, Dec 8th, 2006) should go a long way to cutting down on the spam. Some words would be obvious, but how about N U D E, n_u_d_e, nu_de, nud_e, nud3,... I think you get the idea :p
