It finds its food using a standard library Perl +regexp. The profanity is only eaten where the comment was written by a user +who does not have the global 'editbugs' privilege. The digestion happens at +display time, so the comment in the database is unaltered. + +However, it does not eat profanities when showing people their own comments; +the aim here is to prevent people immediately noticing they are being +censored, and getting 'creative'. + +The purpose of Profanivore is to make it a little harder for trolls to +vandalise public Bugzilla installations. + +It does not currently affect fields other than comments. |
