| Summary | 0002195: user mode +G only filters private messages | ||||
| Description | I know that its documented that user mode +G only filters private messages, but it doesnt make sense for it to stop just there. If a user wants to filter swear words, then of course they would also want to filter channels too. Setting channel mode +G does not solve this problem, since it affects every user in that channel. I suggest that user mode +G should be a global swear filter - not just private message. If a user doesnt want to see swear words, then of course they dont want to see them in the channel either. | ||||

It's a nice idea, but it would also be a very slow thing. There are *many* things that could include swearing, topics, notices, globops, wallops, motds, etc. Where exactly do we draw the line? And remember, each thing we filter means more processing. |
|
|
I think usermode +G should just filter private and channel messages, the only things that are currently filtered. |

Ok, I see your point with the processing. channel messages are a major point of what a user sees. Dont you agree that a user mode +G should filter channel modes? Most of the users in my channel dont mind the swearing. Its only a few (parents) that dont want to see it. It wouldnt make sense to set channel mode +G since it affects all the channel users. I would say the priority for user filtering would be channel, then private. My actual preference, is the filter to be at the client side. I submitted an idea to have a swear filter built in to mirc. It makes more sense to offload the processing to the client, not the server. |

It would still be valid to have user mode +G to additionally filter channels. Yes, filtering channels is a very intense process, but on a small irc network, it wont have any processing impact. If you network is that large, you could always disable channel filtering to save on processing. |

yeah filter priv msgs and channels then they`ll use notice / channel notice - seems notices channel msgs and priv msgs, is the best bet in my eyes, and the " If you network is that large, you could always disable channel filtering to save on processing. " is a great idea i think |

My issue with swearing is just from general chat (in the channel). Im not concerned about people spamming with swearing (private or channel notice). Im using channel mode +T since I dont see any purpose in noticing to channel. user mode +G { filter: message channel notice } Something like that could be handy. |
