phonetic wordfilter

patPrzybilla - December 10, 2008 - 02:51

The phonetic filter module provides a profanity filter and is an improvement of the wordfilter module which compares a admin generated list of unwanted words against user submited content (e.G. comments).

Phonetic filter goes a step further by including the phonetic characteristics in the comparison as well as a list of profane words.

So the malicous user could try any variation of the cursed word but as long as the word "sounds" like the unwanted word it gets replaced by the masking character.

It provides also a whitelist to allow certain words which sounds like unwanted. Its very lightweight and has no need for any additional tables.

If you re asking yourself why I don't consider to patch the wordfilter module instead of creating a new project please read this thread:

NOTE: Is no more under active development by myself because of time issues ( getting a baby here and have a lot of work to do ) I would love to give someone who has time and is interested in maintaining this module CVS access or let you take it over completely.
Right now some drupalists are posting patches which is awesome ... Thanks for understanding and support.
