Offensive Guestbook Entries

[Sonars UK]

Hi,

I've recently designed a website for a local cricket club which includes a
guestbook.

My problem is that the guestbook is attracting offensive posts. I don't
suppose there is much I can do about it apart from regularly checking the
site and deleting the posts.

Just thought I'd better ask the experts before I resign myself to this fact.

Thanks for any advice.

Regards,

Sonars UK

Hi,
Howdy!

With a "vanilla" FrontPage guest book, there's not much
you can do to block offensive posts.

If you want to black-list certain people or block postings
containing certain words, you'll need to programthe list
yourself (for example, using ASP or ASP.NET) or locate a
third-part product.
