Topic: all caps protection not working in release 1.1.5

It seems the all-caps protection doesn't work ... I've set "All Caps Message" and "All Caps Subject" both to "No", but still, nobody has any problems making posts like this one...

Can anyone test and de/confirm this please?

Thanks

I've redone the all caps protection in 1.2, so hopefully, it will work better.

Does it look for a percentage of uppercase chars, or could you fool it just by placing a single lowercase char in your message? wink

Re: all caps protection not working in release 1.1.5

It's stupid. It just compares e.g. $subject with strtoupper($subject) and if they are the same, it converts $subject into ucwords(strtolower($subject)).

$subject = "ALMOST ALL UPPERCASE dude";
$subject_upper = strtoupper($subject);
$count = 0;
for ($i=0; $i<strlen($subject); $i++)
   if ($subject[$i] == $subject_upper[$i])
      $count++;
if ($count / strlen($subject) > 0.9)
   echo "stop right there, you uppercase MORON!";

or something? (I didn't test that)

The default is disabled, and it only works on topics posted while it's enabled
