Word Filter --------------------------- In this section of the admin area you will see two columns. One column has bad words and the other has good words. How this works is if a bad word is entered into a message the system will turn it into a good, more acceptible word of your choosing. So if I were to put "Groone" as a bad word and then a good word I put "Groone the person I worship" then if you enter a message that says "Hi Groone!" It would be changed to "Hi Groone the person I worship!" So you can control the level of adultness you want on your site. Spam Filter --------------------------- No one likes spam and spammers are the bane of the internet. The best way to mitgate them is to nip it at the bud. In this section you control the flow of spammers. Spammers tend to use predictable keywords that are not necessarily bad words. For example, a spammer might write "buy inexpensive rolex watches" whereas your friend might say, "I bought a rolex watch." Separate each phrase or word with a comma, and no spaces. Spaces can be used in phrases. When a spam phrase is detected it will not be placed in the message database and never be displayed to the general public. These keywords are kept in the includes folder and located in the keywords.inc.php file. This file needs to be writeable to the script typically chmod 777.
