Term Filter

The Term Filter feature enables you to filter out chat log messages that contain text which you have pre-designated. See How to Use the Term Filter for full details.

1. The files used for the Term filter must be stored in the location used by the settings and screenshot folder section in the FINAL FANTASY XI Config Features tab. The default location for this file is C:/Users/[User Name]/Documents/My Games/FINAL FANTASY XI/ffxiuser.
2. Create text files titled prohibited.txt and allowed.txt:
   • prohibited.txt Add the terms you would like to hide to this file. Any chat log messages containing these terms will be hidden from view in-game.
   • allowed.txt Add the terms you would like to whitelist to these file.
3. From the in-game Main Menu, select Term Filter from the Config → Misc. 4 category and choose between “On/Display Name Only/Off.”

Example prohibited.txt file for blocking spam:

2100p/20m 2100P/20M 2100p/15m ★ V0-25 V0-V25 GIN FU KEI GIN KEI イオニックウェポン
