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 24, 2013Hey there,
Absolutely love your plugin. It's the most powerful I've found, so keep up the great work! But I've been trying to make something work and just keep failing.
I would like to do the following actions upon match:
- Run a command with the original chat string (to alert staff what was said)
- Rewrite the string to censor the word, send the chat (not deny)
- Give player a warning
- Log the details
- Possibly any other action
I have tried this:
But the console sends the censored text (not the original text). Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? I have the command run before the rewrite but it still rewrites first. Maybe there should be another variable for the original chat?
Thanks! :)

Ah, I see what the problem is. You need a way to include the matched letter after the @ (and the @ itself) into the rewritten message. It IS a bug, and I have already asked tremor about it.
We need a way to have regex in the "then rewrite/replace" part, that way you would be able to put "then rewrite &3$&", which would mean it adds the &3 color code, and then $& which in regex means "the matched substring", which would result in showing "@prank" in chat with the &3 color code before it.
I'll ask him again about it, but for right now you would need to try to work around, for example:

Posted Feb 23, 2013You do not add support mogliby high quantities commands. Here's an example: "match admin then replace Admin then console ban &player then console banip &player then log "
In the log will record and work "banip". But the "ban" and "replace Admin" does not work.

Did you write the language filter yourself or are you using somebody else's?

Yes, an error somewhere in your rules.txt.
I think this happens when a rule is incorrectly closed off, or accidentally captured everything from a simple space or a list of all the letters somewhere.

Posted Feb 22, 2013There was this extreme disaster - and I'm speaking on behalf of Ping0pong - where anything anyone said was considered a curse and everyone was getting disconnected.
Was this because of an error in the config file?

Help a noob out, please. Do I just rename EpicATrain's file (I grabbed 1.4.6-2.1.2-v7.4) to rules.txt and drop it in the /pwnfilter folder?

Check out the filter created by EpicATrain on the forum. It has over 100 different filters, and is easily modifiable.

Posted Feb 20, 2013Does anyone have a mature rules.txt to share with a new user? I'd rather not reinvent the wheel over time by trial & error if someone already has a thorough rules file. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, most of the time, but it really depends on how strict your RegEx for ip banning is. If you get an ultra strict one that catches semicolons or dashes or whatever in ip addresses, then it would unintentionally trigger it by doing something like counting down in chat: "10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1" Or, saying a list of items and/or prices like "24:2 $100 89:50 $250" etc etc.
But yeah, as for ip addresses itself, it works. And especially with just a simple one, should work just fine without the false positives, like:
Also, if interested, i made this forum post just now, its a quick tutorial on ip address blocking with regex: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/pwnfilter/forum/regex-discussion/49084-learning-reg-ex-ip-address-blocking-is-easy/

I was wondering how the progression for censoring commands was going. I'm not sure if he contacted you, but rtainc said he was going to give you an idea on how to do it... This is a much needed feature.
