PwnFilter
Update: 2023-04-20 - PwnFilter EOL Statement
Major changes to chat from Mojang that include chat reporting and signed messages may render PwnFilter no longer usable. The developers of PwnFiilter have not maintained the plugin since 2016, and it has continued to work up until now. We don't see a new version coming out anytime soon and urge server owners to find an alternative. We hear good things about VentureChat - https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/venturechat.771/

About PwnFilter
PwnFilter is way more than just your average word-blocking plugin, PwnFilter uses the power of Regular-Expressions ("RegEx") to give you a highly effective and highly configurable plugin to filter anything you want from chat! Matching words can be rewritten, logged, blocked, and managed, depending on the rules you define. Use PwnFilter for:
- Extremely effective chat/command filtering: Filter anything you want with RegEx!
- Extremely effective curse/swear word filtering, warn users who use bad language, turn their profanities into harmless language, or just deny their message entirely!
- Assign appropriate punishment levels based on severity.
- Anti-Advertisement: IP/URL filtering
- Make fun chat replacements for your server's inside-jokes.
- Single line spam filtering: Remove repetitive characters like hiiiiiiiiiiiii to hi.
- CAPS Blocking capability
- Typo correction: Replace common and annoying typos like "teh" to "the" or "u" or "you"
- Customizable warning messages
- Command aliases: Automatically recognize a !command and change to /longer command, Stop yourself from accidentally sending those embarrassing .commands to chat for everyone to see.
- A few built-in punishments like burn, kill, fine (charge money!), warn, kick, and ban. Or simply utilize the "then console" action to make your server console execute almost any command from any other plugin as if you typed it yourself in the console window, especially if you use a plugin that adds a plethora of punishments, like PunishMental, or use it to make PwnFilter send the appropriate commands to your favorite ban-management system to let it handle what to do!
Think of this plugin as a platform for the power of RegEx, the matching rules are 100% entirely up to you, and there are a hundred ways to do something. The possibilities are endless, the power is as dynamic as you want it to be depending on how much effort you put into having the best RegEx rules.
PwnFilter is a revival and complete rewrite of the RegexFilter plugin by FloydATC. Thanks to DreamPhreak for helping with this Bukkit page, to Sage905 for taking over the latest branch of development making PwnFilter even better than ever, and to EpicAtrain for developing comprehensive regex rules for server owners to use.
Features:
- Filter Chat! (of course)
- Filter Item Names! (Anvil)
- Filter Signs!
- Filter Commands!
- Filter Console!
- Filter Books! (Coming in next version!)
- Filter Nametags!
- Built-in anti-spam feature can be enabled in config.
- Commands for OP or by permission node.
- Supports color message replacement.
- Globally clear all player's chat windows with "/pfcls".
- Global mute with "/pfmute" - stops all server chat and commands for making admin announcements.
- Command typos beginning with certain characters can be stopped (like . and 7, accidentally instead of / and &).
- Optionally recover those typos and execute the command as intended.
- Define your own macros or command aliases.
- Simple but powerful configuration with built-in debugging.
- Each regular expression is compiled only once => very fast.
- Able to reload all your PwnFilter rules & config files without needing to restart the server with "/pfreload".
- Optionally kick or warn players on rule matches AND/OR:
- Execute commands from console or other plugins.
- Use randrep action to replace swears with a random multiple option.
- Use lower action to replace text to all lowercase (great for those CAPS chatters).
- True command aliases, link faux commands like /wave to /me waves at you.
- Customizable 'permission denied' messages
Issues & Conflicts
Plugin Conflicts: If you notice that PwnFilter conflicts/interferes with another chat-related plugin, edit your config.yml, go to the "ADVANCED" section at the bottom, unhide the priority you want to change (by removing the # in front of the line), and change the priority from the default setting "Lowest" to another setting like "Highest". This can sometimes resolve conflicts, otherwise ask on our forum or create a ticket.
Permission Bypass: The permission node pwnfilter.bypass is automatically granted to OP and players with * permission nodes. If you do not want these players bypassing the filter at all, you must negate this permission node for them in your Permissions Plugin's files.
Plugin Metrics
This plugin utilizes Hidendra's plugin metrics system, which means that some information is collected and sent to mcstats.org. If you wish to disable this feature, you can do so by opting out, which you can do in the PluginMetrics' config file under /YourServer/plugins/PluginMetrics/

Posted Feb 8, 2013Is it possibly to bypass one rule with permissions? Because the permission "pwnfilter.bypass" does it for all rules. Thank you :)

Yes, well if you have a plugin that can do tempbanning, you can change
And also dont forget that with "then console", you can do any command as if you typed it into console, which is useful for making pwnfilter use your other administration's commands like ban/kick/warn/tempban/etc

What are you even trying to do with regex {$} ? That make no sense to me i've never seen anything like that ever used.
$ matches that end of a string and is usually something like \.$ in order to add punctuation. Also, I didnt even think you could pass regex back through pwnfilter at all.. ... .. *boggles*
Oh also you are using version 2.1.4 on a bukkit 1.4.6 server.. those are incompatible.

@Eelviny
On my server, I use PwnFilter with EssentialsChat. So I've basically added color filters for staff member usernames and the server name. This used to be a problem for me - players could use any color code if they just had one of the colored filters before their message. This is what I did to fix it:

Oh, i found the comment from tremor:
" On that note, it's getting tough to keep up with so many other plugins now adding chat/color/etc stuff into their code where they previously had not. We need to start a nice running list of various plugin vs. PwnFilter issues - perhaps in the forum. Fixing some issues will be easy enough with the priority setting. I may have to code in separate chat color support.. perhaps even a permission or config.yml setting for whether pwnfilter even bothers with colors or not. "
tl;dr: color fixes coming in a future update.

Posted Feb 5, 2013I've tried all priority settings, and none of them are fixing the issue with pwnfilter causing essentials color codes to work when they're not supposed to. Please fix this. Thank you.

Bit fuzzy on this, but
1. Try changing PwnFilter's priority in the config, or 2. Try using either "then rewrite" or "then replace".
Other than those, i dont think there is anything else.
