The plugin itself is straightforward, but what I need from you is help making a list of bad words. I need you to come up with swear words, vulgar words, and racial slurs that you wouldn't want your kids seeing ingame. Once you've thought up a bunch, please send them to me at rubyduchess@hotmail.com. Do NOT post them here.

Edit: Be sure to include some popular misspellings that are just as bad!

I get the feeling some people would not be very happy with the prospect of a thread filled with bad words. Besides, that would go against the whole point of the plugin! tongue

email sent.

BTW, I had a suggestion from someone.

Could you somehow incorporate this and maybe the Virindi Booter program? The idea being this.

If you could, then you could not only have a "Virindi Nanny" for personal use, but it could also be used to monitor the /a channel. You could then set it up so that if a person uses a "banned word" x times (user defined) then they would be booted out of the guild chat channel. That lasts until the log back in. Further, you could maybe have it so that if a person uses a "banned word" y times (user defined) they are booted from the guild.

For example: 5 bad words in a 24 hour period, and they are "warned" with a boot from the /a channel. 20 bad words in a 24 hour period and they are booted from the guild.

Just an idea.

In my opinion, automatically booting people whose names you haven't reviewed from the guild is a BAD idea. However, there could be a log option in the new plugin so that you may take a look at who has been saying what while you were gone and perhaps take action by adding them to your bootlist.

By the way, the new plugin will be named "Virindi Censor".

<<Um...you could use SWGs list and make sure you censor 'christ'...>>

I don't consider 'christ' a bad word. There will however be an option to add custom bad words in addition to the built-in ones for people that may find any mention of Jesus to be offensive wink

Actually the idea has been kicked around for many months now.

http://vnboards.ign.com/ac_utilities/b5432/93322297/

Still, as long as it is written, I don't care who gets the credit.



As for the "ban" idea, I wouldn't personally use it. MAYBE the "boot" option out of /a chat. The log file would be useful though.

Well, I take it you are going to have a user defined list that the user can add to or remove from and you are simply looking for a "baseline" group of words to include.

Also, I guess you are going to see about having checkboxes to select what channels are to be filtered and which aren't? ie /a, open, /cg, /ct, etc.

Also, I guess that to make it a true "net nanny" that you should have some sort of simple password system where if enabled, you can't change any of the settings without the password.

I was just thinking I could have a hidden 'extra words' file and do filtering on all chat. What's the point of filtering just one type of chat?

I still think you should censor outgoing chat instead of incoming chat so those of us who don't use decal get the benefits.

people who run this plugin will be the ones who dont want to hear it, which probably means they wont be using those words anyways- (just a waste of time to do this)

People who are cussing and stuff more than likely wont be using this plugin..

if it really bothers you to see the words, just DL decal and this plugin


I could be wrong tho.
