We don’t want users posting emails. Is there a way to achieve this? Thanks!!

We do have a censoring mechanism, but it’s based on words. Your best bet would be to write your own plugin :wink:

Also could you just make it a site rule not to do that? And have moderators remove it if it happens? We haven’t had a problem here with people posting many email addresses.

It’d also be a problem when allowing anonymous emails into the a new topic … the sending email address is posted above the incoming message.

yeah, it is a Pets site, and people start posting their emails about free dogs or cats, which are usually fake. We delete them manually, but still would be good to have an automatic rule for emails.

If you can teach your community to flag these posts as spam when they see them, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how easy it becomes :smile:

censored pattern = \d{3}-\d{4}|[\w+\-.]+@[a-z\d\-]+(\.[a-z\d\-]+)*\.[a-z]+ will censor xxx-yyyy phone numbers and email addresses.

Does the above pattern work for anyone else? I tried entering it and got a “Sorry, an error has occurred.” alert. Even with just \d{3}-\d{4} and regular expressions turned on, it doesn’t block 123-1234 in a post. Was there a change, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

It moved. Navigate to /Admin/logs/watched words

I think you also need to enable the option regex for watched words in the settings.

Is there any way I can automatically censor email addresses on posts?

最近、ここでの制限を50文字から100文字に引き上げたと思いますが、他の皆さんも覚えていらっしゃいますか？
