Darmok

Darmok is an extremely light-weight chat channel management and filtering plugin. Designed to address the needs of both large and small servers; it offers fully configurable channels, a better profanity filtering system (optional), additional permissions to better control channel access/use/management, and a lot more.

Darmok was designed to feel very similar to existing chat plugins, but it packs a lot more "bang for the buck".
