LL Owners Banned Words List

I almost agree with the context of the words. But, I really hate censorship of any kind. Banning words is a terrible road to start down. In any new business, people try things that just don't work. I have to assume that after time, banning words will pass. Words seem to lose their pejorative meaning after time.

You will be pleased to know I found it near impossible to make a word filter that worked the way I wanted... so apart from a few words that the webmaster gets a warning about when submitting.. I gave up on going too far with word banning.

I used the 50 thousand or so old submit emails I have copies of and tried searching them for all sorts of ways to acurately profile "problem" submitters just based on what they submit... and as hard as I tried there was no way I could find to effectively do it, and not catch some good submits too.

I'm just going to have to run a seperate, more elaborate script that tries to profile submits after they come in I think.. anyone with experience is very welcome to offer me any tips on writing this by PM btw ;-)

I have noticed one thing searching through old rejected submits though! If someone spells gallery in any of these ways... galery, gallrey, gallarey or galrey.. then watch out |skull|
