Remove control characters from the post.

//$sender->content = preg_replace('/[\x00-\x09\x0B\x0C\x0E-\x1F\x7F]/', '', $sender->content);
// \[ (i|b|color|url|somethingelse) \=? ([^]]+)? \] (?: ([^]]*) \[\/\1\] )

Wouldn't it be better to incorporate something like https://github.com/milesj/decoda

If you're considering using a BBCode library I'd like to suggest my own, which you can find at https://github.com/s9e/TextFormatter

It's a text formatting library with a BBCode plugin. It supports any number of custom BBCodes, or if you don't want to create your own BBCodes you can use a premade bundle. If all you want are the 6 basic BBCodes I see in your current BBCode plugin, this may be overkill. You might as well keep your custom solution if it works for you.

Yeah, we should definitely be using a library instead of homebrew code

Maybe should be changed to textile / markdown format? Should be much more comfortable typing a post from mobile ;)
