This month I've been trying out the IMaccept file, as well as a few others. So far I haven't had any success with IM triggers, but today I was searching for an old forum post to jog my memory about something, and I came across one which includes a trigger in the message. That seems to work for me, so I'm wondering how many other people it might apply to.

I know I've seen phpBB forums where an anti-swearing mod has been used to, for example, change links to a rival site to say "***hahaha, you can't link there***". Would it be feasible for us to have something similar changing trigger phrases to something like "[trigger for TrigPuppy file]" or something like that?

I know it would probably take a while to put in the list of triggers, and people are usually smart enough not to include triggers in their messages, but I think it could well be worthwhile to implement something like this just for the rare occasions where it could cause someone problems.

Or should people who can be triggered in this way just learn to be a little paranoid, and not check the forums at work or whatever?

I agree with the logic being used here. However, I think I'm going to use a simpler filter (killing one word from the phrase "Time for you") since that would destroy about 99% of the triggers on the site. I will also post a note in the administrative forum asking that people not post triggers in Messages and I will warn users that post triggers(assuming anyone notifies me since I do not read ALL the forums). Sound like a plan?
