In MY_Form_Validation, you don't have access to the CI Super Object ($this).

If add this at the top:

Code:

$CI =& get_instance();

And then instead of

Code:

$this->form_validation->set_message('filterBadWords', 'You are not allowed to use swear words');

Use this

Code:

$CI->form_validation->set_message('filterBadWords', 'You are not allowed to use swear words');
