Spam is a huge problem on forums. Especially the spam in the forum of bank logins and such.
We need a simple plugin, that doesn't allow users to open threads with certain words. The admin should be able to choose what words threads cannot have in the title.
That's a simple idea, that will solve so much!
Let's see who will be the first to make the new big MyBB plugin.
Ah..google is such a useful tool...
[sarcasm+vexation]Great idea though, op, very original![/sarcasm+vexation]

Pretty sure somebody released a free version somewhere too...
Yeah, I'm banned on that forum for a stupid reason. I could use a proxy and re-register if I need to but I won't for now.
Wheres this other version?

I knew Labrocca created it, but MyBB needs their own version on this forum.
I might create something like this also, its a good idea.
Why not use the word ban filter?

If i'm not mistaken, that only applies to all groups, not some.

The thread can still be created even with the word banned.
Edit:
I just created this since it's very simple, which will block the thread if a word in it is in the word filter. It can be downloaded here:

What if someone brings out a discussion where they need to use the word "viagra" or "free money" in a legit way?
I think there should be a setting to only apply this to certain usergroups and even the number of posts required to not be affected by this. That way we can target those who register and instantly start talking about viagra and linking to random websites.

Set it in the word filter to be replaced with itself, I'm sure they can find another title.
