Anti-Swearing Plugin

Hey, I am developing an Anti-Swearing plugin that will stop players from swearing on a server. The problem i am having is that you can bypass the unallowed curse words by using caps or by doing something like this: shiiiiiit. I need help if someone could help me on how to stop them from saying a word completely. Thanks

Some of the code:

Code:

@EventHandler
  public void onPlayerChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent e)
  {
    String antiswear2 = ChatColor.GRAY + " (!)";
    for (String word : e.getMessage().split(" ")) {
      if (getConfig().getStringList("UnallowedWords").contains(word))
      {
        e.setCancelled(true);
        e.getPlayer().sendMessage(antiswear2 + ChatColor.RED + " You are not allowed to say that word!");
      }
    }
  }
}

Config works fine*

 

well the the shiiiiiat thing is a bit more complicated but you can get around capital letters by just: String#toLowerCase() or toUpperCase() whatever suits you.

To just compare if a word contains some random characters like "shiatsu" or "critical" seems sensless to me. maybe you just write down in the config every part of words that will be 99% surely used in swearing context... just an idea I am no expert

 

Ok thanks. Im not really good at coding so what do you mean by, String#toLowerCase(). Like, where do i put it or what to change in my current code, Thanks

 

maybe put it like for(String word : e.getMessage.toLowerCase().split())
oh man this is spoonfeeding but yeah its ok

@Conor015 got it to work in a nice way?

 

My plugin sounds like what you need.

For letter repetition I used the following regex:
String#replaceAll("([a-z])\\1+", "$1$1");

 

I tried that. Doesnt work. It doesnt block the unallowed words from the config anymore. (no errors in config)

 

mhh. well post your code again if you need more help

 

May I introduce you to The Scunthorpe Problem. A plugin can't really parse natural speech, and decide whether the text is profane (well it could, but you'd need to implement some machine learning and AI).

Anyway, if you really need to block profanity, I'd suggest you download an online list with possible variations OR use a RESTful API. and just use that list rather than code in checks for different variations as that will 100% cause false positives.

For example: A bit cheap becomes: A b****eap.
