Best way I've found for situations where I need to filter content is to moderate it by hand. It's slow, but is less prone to problems. The moderator has to continually make a mess of things to let bad words through, where a programmer only has to mess it up once and the computer will continue to reject/accept whatever it wants!
Also, a human moderator can put context to content, something which even the most sophisticated AI is incapable of. Ash www.ashleysheridan.co.uk -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
