Copy and Paste Log Sanity Checks

I have a system responsible for logging copy and pastes on the server. However, in order for this to be possible, the client needs to be the “detector” of copying and pasting in the first place since textbox edits don’t replicate to the server.

The only issue I’m facing here is that I can’t think of a sanity check (other than spam) on the server for preventing people from sending inappropriate messages into the log. They’re already being filtered, does anyone have any other suggestions on sanity checks to prevent this sort of thing from happening?

Not entirely sure of what you’re attempting to accomplish but you’re able to filter strings using the following methods:

I’m already filtering the strings, but other than that and spam protection I’m not sure what else I can do when it comes to preventing troll/spam messages. Filtering will simply filter inappropriate language and such. People that mess with it can simply avoid sending in messages with inappropriate language. As far as I know, there is nothing else I can do besides what I’ve already implemented, but was wondering if anyone else had any sneaky ways or other ideas.

I’m pretty sure filtering methods will already filter out spam, though don’t quote me on that. As far as troll messages, I’m unsure what else you could do other than adding more words and phrases to filter out or just moderate them manually.
