## Description

The Bleep Filter plugin is a free and open source advanced content filtering plugin
for WordPress. Commonly used as a bad word filter and swear filter, this plugin 
offers a variety of applications for your needs. Easily add the words you want to
filter out and the plugin will find those words in your blog’s comments, posts, 
and rss feeds and passively replace them in a variety of styles.

Using a highly advanced phonetic algorithm, not only is the spelling being detected
but also how the word sounds. This makes it much more difficult for mischievous 
posters to bypass the filter intentionally.

With the Bleep Filter plugin all you have to do is add your words and the plugin
takes care of the rest.

## Installation

 1. Upload `bleep-filter` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

## FAQ

  Will my posts and comments be edited permanently?

No. Bleep Filter works passively ensuring that your original content, posts, and
comments remain the same even if you delete or deactivate the plugin.

  How do I prevent certain words from being filtered?

If the filter is picking up words that it shouldn’t you can add exception words 
or phrases using the plugin’s exceptions words list to prevent them from being filtered.

  How does it work?

Most bad word filters use simple one for one matching of words. This makes filtering
difficult because it forces you to think of every possible spelling for each word
in every situation for it to be effective.

For example you want to filter the word shazbot. Normally you add the word to the
filter and hope the correct spelling is used. What happens if the user types the
word shaazzzboughtte! or even sh@zb0t!? Would the filter pick it up? Bleep Filter
would.

To hide, whether completely or not profanity words within blog texts, this plugin
gives it best benefit. But, I don’t know, sometimes it just simply doesn’t work 
at all. But among the most, it just fine.
