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 Apr 8, 2013Neat little tip: Blocked certain commands through my (and tremor's) rules.txt that I dont want people using like:
Also some other things, like to prevent people from seeing your plugins:
And seed...
And maybe also info, about, ver, version, gm, gamemode, etc. Works pretty well. We used to block the /plugins command with MCDocs and would replace it with something else, but people could get around it by typing /plugins wjioerp23j (random letters). And even after MCDocs and NCP on the front line to protect plugins, they both failed, especially when you could do /? to see a list of the plugins. PwnFilter perfectly blocks it after everything I threw at it, also tried a full "/give name 1 1" command, and it was blocked!

Posted Apr 8, 2013Btw, I am still having an issue with Pwnfilter allowing chat colors without the essentials permission node. This only occurs on lines that Pwnfilter replaces.
For example, with the above rule. If you write "i like to write in &acolors" it will do "I like to write in colors" with colors being in light green. However, if you were to write "you like to write in &acolors" it will do "you like to write in &acolors" with no color formatting.

Posted Apr 8, 2013@nejcneo In the next update we'll have an identical msg spam detect (will work for commands too) it's very basic but will do the job if you don't have another antispam plugin that is more robust.
We're also working on a preliminary anti-sign swear feature.

Posted Apr 4, 2013@jake0o0 Chat events are asynchronous and should have no effect on server gameplay. How big of a server, and what other plugins do you have? PwnFilter uses abot 1/1000th the resource of plugins like OreObfuscator and NoCheatPlus.

Posted Apr 4, 2013Hmm, is this really optimized for large servers? Since it's going off of chat events I'm guessing? We're getting a lot of lag on one of our servers and it looks like it could be PwnFilter.

Posted Apr 4, 2013Is it possible to add a timer to pfmute? For example, sometimes all a server needs is a 5min cooldown, but what if the admin forgets to unmute?

You should use the "cmdchain" action. See the "Post match operators" page:

Thanks for the info regarding replace/rewrite, but my problem is this:
So either way, PwnFilter messes with colour. Is it possible to have an option/method to just leave the raw "&X" colour codes in the string, so my other plugins can choose how to handle the colour codes?

Posted Apr 1, 2013How I can use UTF-8 symbols like ö ä ü ß for "warn" or "consol" messages inside the rules.txt?
How can I catch a /warp command and make it into /warp list so that if a user makes /warp it changes automatic to /warp list command.

Posted Mar 31, 2013@rasnyderiii Are towny channels channels or do you use a command to talk in the channel? If it's command based just ignore the command using the command blacklist. I'll have to actually install and test towny some day to see how it works and maybe I can add a towny add-on
