PHP Forum Security Issues

PHP

Hi Chaps,

I’m about to start building a MySQL/PHP forum but would like to know what are the best administration steps to take.

Basically it’ll be open to members of a site to share info (as like many forums out there), but obviously I don’t want anybody to post either harmful content or offensive material.

Can someone point me in the right direction, or give me a basic outline of what I have to look out for?

Many thanks

Either you’ll want to look into a blocked words list, or, like most forums… have a moderator / team of moderators to view every post and delete offensive ones.
