For MyBB 1.6: Auto-Unapprove Post/Thread Filter
Version 1.0 - January 18, 2013


This plugin allows you to create a list of words or phrases that will prevent a new thread or post from being visibly published.

If a new thread or post is found to contain one of the predefined phrases, it will automatically be unapproved. From there, a moderator can either approve it or delete it and ban the user.

This is useful to target spammers who post the same messages, or to prevent members from posting certain phrases. For example, if there is a spammer who keeps posting "free iphones" then add it to the list and future posts will be auto-unapproved.

You can disable the filter for members above a certain post count.

Big thanks to Omar G. for helping me out with the code.

I'm working on learning PHP so I'll be developing more plugins in the future. If you find an error or think that I could use better code in one of my existing plugins let me know! I'd greatly appreciate any advice.
Seems to be running well so far. Just installed it. Will report if I get issues with it. Wink
Thanks @ Zash
Glad you found it helpful, Wolfseye Smile

Great work - I was hoping this would work with 1.8.x too, but I could not get it to work (http://community.mybb.com/thread-167164-...pid1140503)

Did anyone ever try to port it to 1.8? Or does anyone know of another mod that can do this for me?

Appreciated!
