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/

check forum, there are many useful hints. for matching word with (or without) spaces just put spaces and quantifier between letters:
match w *o *r *d
for match word with dots, commas and other characters put non letter characters matching and quantifier between letters:
match w(\W|_)*o(\W|_)*r(\W|_)*d
(you have to match \W or _ because \W match everything except letters and _)

it only seems to happen like right after a startup or during a worldedit lag spike. also the repeat message spam blocker is definitely not working, there is no error in console but repeated messages are not blocked on any of my server when they used to be before the plugin got updated

Posted Jun 22, 2013@nejcneo A whitelist -allows- commands to bypass all checks, you might not want that. As for the other spam, check the Regex discussion forum, this one has been answered about 50 times.

Posted Jun 22, 2013I tried to put in Command whitelist "-msg, -tell" (that should block spamming for msg and tell commands. And players can still type msg 3x in a row. How is this possible? If this is not what plugin provides is possible to add that function to Remove spam from specific commands. And Anti-Spam doesn't really protect spamming. Player can still say "hey", "hey2", "hey", "hey2" And that way is still allowed to spam. Is there any configs for that?

Thank you, and I hadn't even known of the existence of lookarounds. Thanks for pointing that out!
As for the $1, what you stated is EXACTLY what I am looking to do. That alongside a few other possibilities such as when I block a user from blurting their password out loud, it will read back to them what they typed into chat.

I don't think that "ignore string" was ever designed to be a regex on its own. Nor do I think it makes sense to enforce that the strings in it check word boundaries. I'll have to think about this, and talk it over with tremor.
In the meantime, you -could- achieve what you're looking for through negative lookbehind. Example:
This bit of code: (?<!STUFF>)foo will match "foo" in the string, but only if it is -not- preceeded by STUFF. (Note that STUFF doesn't become part of the match)
There are also positive lookbehinds as well as positive and negitive lookforwards. You can learn more about this here: http://www.regular-expressions.info/lookaround.html
I agree that it doesn't "read" as easily as "ignore string", but it's also more powerful.
As to the question of group replacements, that is something that was made more challenging to do once I implemented the ability to preserve color/formatting in the strings. It's not impossible, though. I can see the power of being able to do:
<<code>>match (\w+(?<!\bbr|\bs|\bcr|\bcl)(a+(\W|\d|_)*s+(\W|\d|_)*s+))\b then warn Don't say $1I've noted it as a feature enhancement request.

Thanks. My best guess at this point is that the traceback was caused by a "Cache miss". Perhaps the player had just recently logged on and hadn't been updated in the data cache.
Does this happen a lot? If so, then I have to dig deeper. If it's a one-off occurrence, I think my most recent build should prevent it from happening in the future.

That definitely looks like a bug.. Can you send me a copy of the rule? It looks like the rule was trying to replace one of the variables &world, etc...
I think I'll just put a ternary operator in there, to check that there's data before the replace, but it would help to know how it was breaking.
Thanks, Sage

That's what I'm saying though... You shouldn't have to censor the same word twice in order to ignore part of the word. It needs to not count the "string" if there is a symbol/letter before or after it...

Why not make a completely different filter for that? Let's do it now...
match \b(d+(\W|\d|_)*u+(\W|\d|_)*m+(\W|\d|_)*b+(\W|\d|_)*a+(\W|\d|_)*s+(\W|\d|_)*)\b
I wrote that off the top of my head and I haven't tested it.
Sorry I've been away for so long. I need to work with Sage and find out what all he's done so I can change my filter accordingly.

Posted Jun 20, 2013Without censoring dumbass on the line above this, there is no way that this will catch dumbass being that "bass" is in the word dumbass. Is there a way you could check to see if there are line breaks before and after bass?...
Also, why is $1, $2, $3 etc. not supported, along with [^ab^c]? The [^ab^c] thing could entirely replace "ignore string" if it were added in... couldn't it?

The traceback you posted very clearly states 3.0.1: http://pastebin.com/x67nVWKt "Could not pass event AsyncPlayerChatEvent to PwnFilter v3.0.1"
Was this the correct traceback?
@EncryptedCurse
Tremor77 is still around, but he foolishly let me work on the code and now I've gotten rather carried away. :) He has expressed some displeasure at the learning curve I have created. :P
@cuddyier
in config.yml: signfilter: false
Or, by individually disabling a rule for signs:
