Looking at it a little closer, the real problem is that the buttons to add player links, match links, etc. that appears over the text entry box don't even do anything in scrimmage ads. Someone has a scrimmage ad up know with a valid player link in conference markup but it doesn't render as a link.

It is possible to fix the problem:
1) - be serious
2) Replacing Bad words in a String
Below is an example of how to deal with bad words. Example 1 receives text entered into a form textfield called 'txtComments'. The code strips out any bad word(s) that you choose to enter into the array 'badChars'. In this script we have deemed that the words 'rubbish', 'crap' and 'shit' are unacceptable and should be removed.

Example 1:

<%
Dim sComments
sComments = ReplaceBadWords(Request.Form("txtComments"))
response.write sComments

Function ReplaceBadWords(InputComments)
Dim badChars, newChars, i
'create our array of bad words
badChars = array("rubbish", "crap", "shit") ' here"[","]" "xxx" ... ?
newChars = InputComments
for i = 0 to uBound(badChars)
newChars = Replace(newChars, badChars(i), "")
Next
ReplaceBadWords = newChars
End function
%>

Older than the rest ...

do you have a source of all the bad words we should remove? in all the languages that our users use?

also do you have a solution for the computational problem that arises when you try to compare every word published with every word in this bad dictionary?

the reality is such a solution simply isn't feasible technically.

Ja, I think so too the way you understand this, but just for the purpose to get rid of [link='http://www'] and [player=XXX] and [team=XXX], which was the case here, it could be useful. But you're the man to see what's possible and what isn't.

i agree we can make the standard forum markup work with that.. i'm not sure we want to.. but i'm thining about it.. frankly i think the design of that feature is not great, and needs a layour redesign more than it needs this markup fix. Its on the list...
