Mod Name / Version: Enable 'Badwords' Filtering For Member Profiles & User List

Description: This will enable badwords filtering in
both a member's profile page & the user list in order to
help prevent spamming (used to increase search engine rankings).

After you find a user who is engaging in spamming, simply
add their spammed URL to your badwords filter list and all
profiles & the user list will automatically censor it.

** IMPORTANT: The badwords URL MUST be in the format: www.example.com
DO NOT ADD HTTP:// to it.

NOTE: This is specifically for v6.3, and I'm not entirely
sure if the changes will work correctly for newer versions,
although I think they should.

(the 'FIND THIS:' sections may be a li'l
different though, although that part will be easy to find
anyway).

Feel free to post any updates in this thread for v6.4 & v6.5, if necessary.
