I don't know if this was discussed before, but would it be very difficult to implement some kind of "scan" for:

Topic Titles and Posts.

 

e.g.: User1 creates new topic

name: "Hackers"

 

and then a pop-up appreas with the explanation of why there will always be hackers and blablabla...

There should be a filter for words like: torrent links, hacker, alterops, alterBF/fdBF3(or what so ever), and annoying stuff like this.

There should also be a note, that they will get a warning because of rule violation.

In additon:

 

User2 creates new topic

name: "help"

filter detects "help"

pop-up:"add more information about your problem in the title"

 

would this be even possible?

I remember aIW having it so that before posting a new topic in the support section, a pop-up would guide you to the common errors thread, it kept down the spam by a lot.

Exaclty. Now I also remember it.

It also was ignored by the idiots who really needed to be informed of the existence of the FAQ. And there already is a filter that just filters out certain words.

That was a mandatory pop up which always popped up. Fact remains that people could just click it away.

The problem is that people will just ignore it or circumvent these blocks, just as they do with the current censors.

Then replace the 'close button' with a question:

 

"which is the most important program?

[ ]brain.exe

[ ] Iamstupidandaskalwaysdumbquestions.exe"

no just kidding.

"what is 3 + 5" would be better

nice suggestion also i think that can be done by making a phpbb plugin.

Sounds really good, but would take allot of time to implement..for now Search Button will be the best function..

wtf ? Search button? That would be worth.

not running 3.1 yet, so no plugins
