* License: GPLv2 * Description: For stopping spam and other comment abuse * Documentation: * Allows an administrator to ban certain words * from comments. This can be a very simple but effective way * of stopping spam; just add "viagra", "porn", etc to the * banned words list. *
Regex bans are also supported, allowing more complicated
* bans like /http:.*\.cn\//
to block links to
* chinese websites, or /.*?http.*?http.*?http.*?http.*?/
* to block comments with four (or more) links in.
*
Note that for non-regex matches, only whole words are
* matched, eg banning "sex" would block the comment "get free
* sex call this number", but allow "This is a photo of Bob
* from Essex"
