Looking at the new user list today brings to mind a feature request or perhaps a bug report, not sure which just yet, but the badwords filter doesn't seem to be applied there.

that's weird because on one of the sites i'm running it does catch usernames... I had a user whose last name was *censored*son and it was censored.
edit: Well aren't I a dumb *censored* for not realizing that *censored* would be censored?
edit 2: thinking more on this... it's happening on the site that blaine created the custom reg script for... wonder if that's why it's catching the names?

Well, what exactly do you have in mind? Censoring the username whenever it's displayed?
It's easy to apply the bad word filter (check the frontpage now), but that doesn't sound like a viable solution.
I guess what you're really after is a way to prevent people from even signing up with such a username in the first place.
bye, Dirk

here is an edited version of the createuser() in users.php...it does just that, Dirk. Using the bad word filter it prevents those usernames from registering. It returns the invalid username message.
{
global $_CONF, $_TABLES, $LANG01, $LANG04;
$username = trim ($username);
$email = trim ($email);
if (COM_isEmail ($email) && !empty ($username)) {
//********** added this bit ********************
if( $_CONF['censormode'] != 0 )
{
if( is_array( $_CONF['censorlist'] ))
{
switch( $_CONF['censormode'])
{
case 1: # Exact match
$RegExPrefix = '(s*)';
$RegExSuffix = '(W*)';
break;
case 2: # Word beginning
$RegExPrefix = '(s*)';
$RegExSuffix = '(w*)';
break;
case 3: # Word fragment
$RegExPrefix = '(w*)';
$RegExSuffix = '(w*)';
break;
}
for( $i = 0; $i < count( $_CONF['censorlist']); $i++ )
{
if(eregi( $RegExPrefix . $_CONF['censorlist'][$i] . $RegExSuffix, $username ))
{
$msg = $LANG01[32]; // invalid username
$retval .= COM_siteHeader ('menu');
if ($_CONF['custom_registration'] && function_exists(custom_userform)) {
$retval .= custom_userform ($msg);
} else {
$retval .= newuserform ($msg);
}
$retval .= COM_siteFooter();
return $retval;
}
}
}
}
//***************************************
$ucount = DB_count ($_TABLES['users'], 'username',
addslashes ($username));
$ecount = DB_count ($_TABLES['users'], 'email', addslashes ($email));
if ($ucount == 0 AND $ecount == 0) {
$uid = USER_createAccount ($username, $email);
$queueUser = USER_isQueued ($uid);
if ($queueUser) {
$msg = 48;
} else {
emailpassword ($username, 1);
$msg = 1;
}
if (isset ($_CONF['notification']) &&
in_array ('user', $_CONF['notification'])) {
sendNotification ($username, $email, $uid, $queueUser);
}
return COM_refresh($_CONF['site_url'] . '/index.php?msg=' . $msg);
} else {
$retval .= COM_siteHeader ('Menu');
if ($_CONF['custom_registration'] &&
function_exists ('custom_userform')) {
$retval .= custom_userform ($LANG04[19]);
} else {
$retval .= newuserform ($LANG04[19]);
}
$retval .= COM_siteFooter ();
}
} else {
if (empty ($username)) {
$msg = $LANG01[32]; // invalid username
} else {
$msg = $LANG04[18]; // invalid email address
}
$retval .= COM_siteHeader ('menu');
if ($_CONF['custom_registration'] && function_exists(custom_userform)) {
$retval .= custom_userform ($msg);
} else {
$retval .= newuserform ($msg);
}
$retval .= COM_siteFooter();
}
I took some of COM_checkWords() and applied it to the username.
