BadWords

An auto censor plugin that enables you to stop worrying about players swearing on your server. The number of warnings can be specified, as can the action that is taken once the warnings are expired (kick or ban).

Features:

• Individual words or entire phrases supported
• Regular expression support
• Banned words can be substituted for less offensive words
• Admin can define how many warnings players get
• Admin definable punishment (kick or ban)
• Case insensitive matching
• Only whole words or phrases are matched (i.e. "the" would not match in "tether")

• New to 1.22 - Banned words can now be substituted for less offensive words
• New to 1.22 - Changed command from /bw to /badw to avoid collisions with other plugins (e.g. ButtonWarp)

Example word definitions:

• smell (simple match - will match smell either on it's own or in a sentence, not smelly)
• bu+?m (will match bum or buuuuum or any number of "u"s in the word)
• you are smelly (phrase match - will match you are smelly, not you or are or smelly on their own)
• \w*?poop\w*? (substring match - will match poop or poophead or motherpooper)
• idiot:silly (substitution, all instances of idiot will be replaced with silly)

Banned word substitution:

In the config file, it is now possible to substitute a banned word or phrase for a less offensive alternative. For instance, the example below would replace all instances of the word "bum" with the word "bottom": bum:bottom The following example would replace all instances of the phrase "You are stupid" with the phrase "You are silly": You are stupid:You are silly

Admin commands:

• /badw list List all banned words
• /badw add <word> Add a word to the banned list
• /badw delete <word> Delete a banned word from the list
• /badw warnings <playername> Find out how many warnings a player has left
• /badw reset <playername> Reset a player's warnings to the default value set in the config file
