Other Information

I’ve seen that the word ‘chat’ is blocked on this service, which makes sense for the reason given – but I need to display images with the word ‘chat’ in them as they refer to a game with chat in the title! I can’t change the name of the image, as its used for other players of the card game to search for cards with that game name.

Is there no way to allow the word ‘chat’ in a file name when its only pertaining to an image type?

Unfortunately no, that is a hardcoded value and cannot be changed.

create some sort of redirect or search refinement system, so when the user searches for ‘chat’, it internally replaces it with something else instead

I’m afraid I’m not technical enough for that, and I’m not sure what the other two images are for, sorry! I’ll just have to keep things as they are for now and move hosts next week when I have time to find another service.

You can also encrypt the words/phrases that have been submitted in the search bar to bypass the restriction. Start with base64 encryption. Use btoa() for encryption and atob() for decryption.

Example
if (word === "Y2hhdA==") {
  // TODO: Do something 
}

You can use some other words
