I get quite a few spammers posting URLs to our competitors' sites, but whereas I've been quite good at blocking the URLs themselves in the posts, people now know that they can get around the censor feature and see the banned text by simply... quoting it. smile

Difference of the ActiveText feature vs the Censor feature... The censor changes text out of the database; the ActiveText feature replaces data that gets put into the database.

Would still be nice to change the text that comes out of the "quote" feature so that it doesn't override the censor feature. At least for regular users. Or just make it work like activetext by converting the stored text straight away.

P.S. Under the active text feature in the CP I see the following text: Note: Because this translation is done as the posts are displayed this feature may slow your forum down somewhat under very heavy loads.

Shouldn't this note be displayed in the censor section instead?
