Word Censoring Preferences
This section of the Control Panel allows you to enable word censoring. It is also where you define the list of censored words.
Enable Word Censoring?
You may enable or disable word censoring. If you select "Yes", the system will replace any specified words in weblog entries, comments, forum posts, etc. according to your preference below.
Censoring Replacement Word
You may optionally specify a word or phrase to be used when replacing censored words. For example, if you set tisk tisk as your replacement word, and "shucks" is in your censored list, then anytime shucks is used it will be replaced with tisk tisk. If you do not set this preference, a pound symbol will be used for each character that is censored, so "shucks" would be converted to ######
Censored Words
This field contains the list of words that you would like to censor. Place each word on a separate line. Wild cards are allowed by adding a * to the beginning or end of a censored word. So, for example the wildcard test* would censor the words test, testing, and tester, while the wildcard *gress would censor the words progress and congress.
