Do you all think we could possible add another field to the boards DB and set it to say WordFilter (On|Off)?? Then if it is on it will do the word filter if it is off it wont filter the words.... I have 1 board on my site I don't want any filtering on cause well it is the complaint/flames board for the annoying users to use. Just wondering...

Would be useful, but I think it would be heavy program - but what you are saying is that one person could read a message with words censored out, and another would read the same message with all the swear words included.

I am not sure that it is a good idea having it set at board level as either a site would be set up to censor out such words, or it wouldn't - if one board had it off then so would the whole board, as the same people would either tolerate it or not, on any forum. But at a user level, it could be interesting - I guess guests would automatically have censoring on.

No... what my suggestion is... is set it so you filter a board... not the site... you know I create a board... set who can read it then set if it should have word filtering or not...
