iosmall might bring this one into FoF, we'll see after Beta 9

@Kyrne said he would eventually like to rewrite this extension but I'll talk to him about it first.

[deleted] somehow missed this in my inbox. A couple of us have discussed and all encompassing "mod tools" extension that would include this extension's features.

This was the first extension I ever made and it's horrendously coded. If we ditch the above idea I will re-write and update it for the latest Flarum version.

Would be great to see it happen. I'd be happy to help finance this if needed, I think it's a super important feature that needs to exist.

You guys asked for it, it's finally here.

Filter for Beta 8+

Background and Nostalgia trip:

Filter was the first extension I ever made for Flarum 3 whole years ago. Back then I was still in college and found Flarum when searching for forum software for an unrelated project. Flarum in early 2017 was still in Beta 6 and had a total team size of 4, ReFlar was created yet and Flagrow was just starting out.

Flarum really helped this college boy refind his love for coding and the fact that it can actually be fun outside of a classroom and office desk. Revisiting my extremely old code really showed me how much I've improved in PHP alone in just a few short years. Now in 2020, ReFlar and Flagrow have both joined forces to created FoF, Flarum is at beta 11, and has a team of 11 people!

While I have your attention I want to thank @luceos @datitisev and @Ralkage. These people were instrumental to my Flarum journey and I couldn't have done it without their help and support, thank you, guys!

What's new:

I've been sitting on this update for a while due to being extremely busy at work. I finally got around to fixing the bugs from my personal version but there may be some things still not working so tread carefully!

• Latest Flarum compatibility (duh)
• No need to use Regex anymore, the words you input will automatically be converted to Regex versions with common leetspeak accounted for (Ex: 3 instead of E).
• When posts are flagged it will say they were flagged by the auto-moderator.
• Post auto-merging now works, you can also set the period of time between posts when they will be merged.
• General code cleanup and refactoring

There is an error. After turning on this extension, it will cause an error when clicking the save button after changing a text boxe in the admin page (No matter which text box，all have the same result ), but the changed thing has taken effect. See Details

and like phenomlab said:

no entries are made to the log files

Some of the content in the translation key is unclear and I do n’t understand what its settings are useful for at the first place. After trying it many times, I finally understood its function. .

I have optimized your description. What do you think?

Translation Keys：

● fof-filter.admin.help

　　○ Please enter text or words to filter, separated by comma + space. When the content of a user ’s post contains the word you want to filter, it will be automatically sent to the list for approval, and will not be made public until it is approved.

● fof-filter.admin.help2

　　○ When a user create a new discussion / reply discussion, within the cooling time, his multiple replies under this discussion will be merged into one post. This setting is globally valid, regardless of whether the post content contains the word you want to filter.
