Here's an idea... by eckocomplex on 08-19-2004 at 04:40 AM
Sick of people calling Messenger Plus! "MSN Plus"? Obviously so, because when ever I see a thread where someone calls it MSN Plus, immediatley theres 6 posts correcting the poor guy.
So lets think logical, this forum has a word ban/filter feature right? Why not filter/ban "MSN Plus" to "Messenger Plus!"?

Is there word ban/filter feature in myBB? 
...well... if this gets to be implemented I think DZ will be again to work

Anyway, the idea is good, but it just kinda hides the "problem" instead of educating...
Maybe I'll add a filter... I dunno...
*waits for opinions*

hm...i think its an okay idea, but its not that much needed, people just shouldnt spam the thread with "its not msn plus!!!" the first person will say it and they have no need to repeat it.

its a good idea wdz dont be lazy and implemente it
RE: Here's an idea... by WDZ on 08-19-2004 at 05:04 AM
Hmm... what if someone actually wants to say "MSN Plus"?
Like if they're referring to that software or the filter?
Maybe I could add it in the BBcode system, then [noparse] would work... 
RE: Here's an idea... by Mnjul on 08-19-2004 at 05:10 AM
Apply the filter only in Plus! Forum Category? Oh well...[noparse] is good anyway...
RE: Here's an idea... by eckocomplex on 08-19-2004 at 05:30 AM
Apply it in the help section (where you see it most). Besides, who talks about MSN Plus! anyway .

I think I'll do like Mnjul said and enable it in the whole MsgPlus category. Talk about MSN Plus can go in "MSN/Windows Messenger" and talk about the filter can go in F&W.

I added a bad word filter in MyBB today
What a coincidence!
Anyways, sounds like an alright idea.. and even if it is just in the whole Plus! category.
RE: Here's an idea... by jren207 on 08-20-2004 at 05:39 PM
What happens is someone puts:
m s n plus,
ms n plus....
and so on...
will it correct those?
RE: Here's an idea... by MC Inferno on 08-20-2004 at 05:42 PM

It's not meant to be a complete solution, it just helps.

RE: Here's an idea... by EvilSeph on 08-21-2004 at 10:22 PM
if they have the nerve and time to bypass filters (which is quite comical ), then they deserve to be lectured about the difference between MSN Plus and Messenger Plus!

They diserve to be blocked. I acctuyl have a better idea. If they write Messenger Plus a warning box comes up, expalning the diffrence. they'll learn the diffrence that way.

Anyway, people who type "MSN Plus" or something similar probably won't even know about the filter, and won't try to bypass it.
