Hey all. ^^ My first time to post on the Lefora support forum, so Yay! Haha.
Anyway, my request is a bad word filter that is pre-set to block common bad words, and can also have words-to-be-blocked added. This would really help for kid's forums and such. Anyway, that's it.
Cheers!

Thanks for the request, as a word filter can be hard to manage (kids will keep using other bad words ;), it can be helpful to create a rules of the forum with what's allowed and what's not allowed. If any inappropriate language is used, you can delete the post and either warn the offending member or remove them from the forum.

In the future, we may introduce some tools for admins to remove vowels from posts to help curb inappropriate language.

I think that it would be ok if all the admins to an individual forum could contribute to the filter for when new things pop up? it would be easier to manage

I disagree, often word filters can allow admins to not only curb bad language but also mess with their community members in less than profane measures.
I'm dissapointed that lefora doesn't provide the means for this.
