User Custom Titles

[Kosmo]

I allow my users to use custom user titles and I have also set titles for those that don't want to use custom ones.

Problem is that I have users using the term banned for titles. So what I did was go

into the admin CP
then VBulletin Options
then User Profile Options

And under censored words for user title I have the following:

admin forum vbulletin leader banned "Banned" "moderator"

However, it's not changing the word banned. And on Moderator the users go with: m oderator thus the addition of moderator in "" however that's not working either.

Could this be a CHMOD problem?

No, that doesn't have anything to do with chmod.

To update existing usertitles, run this function:
AdminCP -> Maintenance -> Update Counters -> Update User Titles and Ranks

[Kosmo]

I tried that and it didn't change anything.

Are only users with existing usertitles affected, or can users still use those words in user titles?

I got another forum spamming mine and they are using the names XXXX, but when I do a username search it can't find that name. Another one is XXXX13, but again when doing this search I can't find the username in the admin. How are they doing this? On the XXXX I finally found it but the registered username wasn't XXXX it was something completely different.

In Censored words for user title I put XXXX and XXX but its still showing up in their usernames.

Anyone can do it and see it.
