The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

I guess that would be a filter of some sort.  Would that slow down the program, having to scan or check text to look for certain words on it's filter list?  & would the filter be in only English, or multiple languages?

That's depends on that, if the game will support any other font, except for the Latin alphabet. Of course, i can help with filtering Cyrillic letters. :)

The name filter would not slow the game down because I would do all of the filtering on the Host Game / Join Game setup screens.  I would just store the filtered name for use in the game.  I wouldn't do any filter calculations during game time.
