Joomla 3.10
This shoutbox module allows users to post on your site with a simple yet elegant design. Parameters allow you to choose whether guests are allowed to post, the number of posts shown at any time, the design of the shoutbox itself and much more. Posts can be easily deleted by any administrator, whilst a spam filter censors swearing on the shoutbox. You can of course, also add your own swear words. The module is entirely language file based, and thus can be adapted for multi-lingual sites easily.
