The badword filter allows you to globally replace words from a members post, signature and topic title. You can add/edit and remove bad word filters in this section. As a note, by default the Admin group can bypass the badword list. You can change this by editing this group on the <a href="{base_url}&section=content&act=group">Manage User Groups</a> page.<br />

<b>Loose matching</b>: If you entered 'hell' as a bad word, it will replace 'hell' and 'hello' with either your replacement if entered or 6 hashes (case insensitive).<br />
<b>Exact matching</b>: If you entered 'hell' as a bad word, it will replace 'hell' only with either your replacement if entered or 6 hashes (case insensitive).<br />
<b>Import a Badword List</b>: You can use this if you have a pre-made badword list XML file. An example one is available in our <a href="{base_url}&section=help&act=support&code=kb">Knowledge Base</a>. Simply search for <i>badword</i>.
