Thoughts about my new chat censor plugin...

So i decided to create a new chat censor plugin since most current up-to-date chat filtering plugins are either too needy of a config (Need to write your own Regex in config per word.) or just didn't block words all that well. (Blocks "Hell", but doesn't block "H 3 11")
So i created a plugin that could do all that just off of a single word. I just add a swear word and it automatically does everything i need to block swearing. For example these are the variation of the word "hell" that my plugin blocks:

• H 3 1 !
• h.e.l.l
• h 3 1 L
• H☭e☭l☭l
• h e u ll (Blocks extra vowels but not other extra letters like "HETLL")
• h u e u 1 u L
• Heeeeeeeeeellllllllllll
• Hellonwheels
• hell o
• h..//./././/e//././././l//.././././l

But without whitelist words added it blocks the word hello. But when you add it it never blocks it again.
Thoughts?

 

I'm all for improved chat censors. This looks a bit aggressive though, but can't say without testing. I'm all about the results. Perhaps if it comes with a ready-tuned whitelist it will work well. Just have to consider I suppose kids misspell things all the time so could have a lot of false positives.

 

DoingItWell oh you have no idea, our whitelist is so long i might actually try to figure out a way to hook into dictionary.com

 

I once saw a plugin that did that but it only caused tons of lag. I'm not sure that would be the smartest route to take.

 

Yeah i thought about that, might just try to make my plugin even smarter and look at word roots.

I doubt you'll ever manage to make an effective one. For example, I can just write hëll and defeat your plugin.
