I was about to start an online community but every time you allow people to post something as a comment you never know what they come up to, especially regarding profanities.

So I come up with this idea, I put together some code from the old style form validators and the new newform style, plus some code to sanitize HTML from snippet number 169, and the final result is a CharField that only accept values without swear words, profanities, curses and bad html.

Cheers.
