Sensitive Censor 1.0a  YaBB2
--------------------------------------------------------

This mod increases the sensitivity of the censor function to detect censored words seperated by symbols (ie !@#$%^&*....), spaces, and lines.

Ex. if "darn" is a censored word, then the censor would pickup d#a#m#n or d a* m^ n or

d
a
m
n

etc...

Comments
---------------
- I developed this back for YaBB 1.3 but I have made it more specific to match its sentivity
- Will not pickup spelling variants to censored words unless specified in the admin center

Will it get things like

ƒUc/< or $h|t (appologies for the swearing)

People always tend to find ways around filters no matter what ya try and do.  Great mod btw, certainly makes it harder for them.

No it will not.  I do not think there would be an easy way to do this.  It might be possible to translate the entire message for certain symbols commonly used instead, like $ back to s or | back to i, then run it through the censor again.

I do not know how far this mod can be taken, but will see if we can make it more sensitive while maintaining its specificity.

Yeah, I know some people do this, but when I developed this for my board they didn't.  Now they do it occassionaly.

Maybe in the future I will try to add support for this.
