Censoring specific websites.

[madsciencecave]

Hello,

I am trying to figure out how to ban specific web addresses on my forum, like for instance other forum addresses.
I looked into the censoring words option, but I can't convince myself that this is useful in this case.


Advise on the matter would be highly appreciated.

The word censoring option does work. I have a few sites banned via the censored words option & the links get broken completely.

Thx, would you mind show me an example of how you do that, I would think for instance, blabla.forum or something, just making sure.

Thx for the reply.

Sure. Take the website url that you'd like to ban/ censor , eg. www.dailymail.co.uk/home/index.html
In the censored words tool, change dailymail to read something like bigotedfearmongers & any subsequent use of the banned url will read www.bigotedfearmongers.co.uk/home/index.html & not lead anywhere.
Give it a try with a site you want censored. You can always undo it if it still doesn't suit your needs.
