The "censor" Module (v3)
This module is deprecated and has been moved to inspircd-contrib in the next major version of InspIRCd.
You should consider using the filter module instead.
Description
This module allows the server administrator to define inappropriate phrases that are not allowed to be used in private or channel messages.
Configuration
To load this module use the following <module> tag:
<module name="censor">
<badword>
The <badword> tag defines an inappropriate phrase. This tag can be defined as many times as required.
| Name | Type | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| text | Text | None | Required! A phrase to match within a message. |
| replace | Text | None | If defined then a replacement phrase to replace the matched phrase with instead of blocking the message. |
Example Usage
Replaces the phrase "wibble" with "wobble":
<badword text="wibble"
replace="wobble">
Prevents users from saying the phrase "fluffy capybara":
<badword text="fluffy capybara">

Special Notes

You should take care to avoid the Scunthorpe problem when adding badwords.
