Any churches using Forums?

We're wanting to launch forums in our church site, to promote more community interaction, but some of our staff is concerned about bad language, improper postings, etc. I'm wondering how many churches are using forums, how successful they are and how you prevent malicious behaviour?

We're using D6 and I've installed the abuse module, which allows specific content types to be flagged. Is there any type of bad language filter that would prevent something bad from being posted in the first place?

Groups:
Login to post comments

Try the Wordfilter module

I've had reasonable success on a non-religion but family oriented site with the Word Filter module: http://drupal.org/project/wordfilter
While it won't stop the posting action it does reliably prevent anyone else from seeing the objectionable words. Available for Drupal 5 and 6.


Thanks. That's the only

Thanks. That's the only other one I've found so far.
