Censorship

Chat message censorship is applied client-side.

Traditionally, the use of bad words does not always result in a punishment, unless if applied manually by a staff member.

Process

There are four related cache files which are loaded and used in censorship.

They are as follows:

Cache file name Purpose
fragmentsenc.txt ?
badenc.txt Contains bad words, including variations (e.g. fuck, fok, etc.).
domainenc.txt Contains bad domain names.
tldlist.txt Contains possible top-level domain names.

When an input is received, if bad phrases are found they are replaced with a sequence of astericks.

Bad phrases are either a bad word, or a combination of a bad domain name and a top-level domain name.
