Badword filter

[Jeney]

What is the easiest way to make sure that nobody puts bad words in my form and submits them to my server. Am using DW MX2004 and MS Access. Am VERY new at this - so please use layman terms. Thanks for any help and tips!

Moderate them and read each one before it gets posted.

I won't have time to moderate each submission - any other way?

Well, you can install a dictionary filter. It'll basically be a list of
words. Each time you submit the text, you'll search through the text (likely
using regular expressions) looping through each word looking for a match on
the 'naughy list'.

HOWEVER, most anyone that wants to get around these filters figure out how
to do it via clever spelling/puncuation/leetspeak, etc. so it can often be a
futile effort.

There are scripts that will help you do this. Do a google search using the
server language used.
