Bad words list

 

On this tab, you can see a list of defined bad words. For each bad word, you can see the expression and the action to be taken when a user inputs the expression. In case that the Replace action is configured for a word, the replacement word is listed in the Replacement column.

 

The top part of the page is a filter. Using it, you can display only those bad words that match the specified criteria. You can filter by the Expression and by the Action that has been set for it. After specifying the filtering criteria and clicking the Show button, only those items that match the specified criteria will be displayed in the list.

In case that there is more than one bad word detected in input text and the words have different actions set, the actions will be taken according to their hierarchy.

The following list shows which actions will be taken in some specific cases in order for you to easily understand the actions hierarchy:

 

Remove and Replace - the first one will be removed and the second one will be replaced with the defined substitute
Remove, Replace and Report abuse - the first one will be removed, the second one replaced and an abuse report will be logged
Remove, Replace and Request moderation - the first one will be removed, the second one will be replaced and the post will have to be approved
Report abuse and Request moderation - the post will have to be approved and no abuse report will be logged
Deny and any other - the text is left as it is, but produces an error message

 

Cultural versions of bad words

 

You can set for which cultures will a certain bad word be used. If you choose to Edit (Edit) a bad word in the list in Administration -> Bad words and switch to its Cultures tab, you will be offered the following two options:

 

The word is not allowed in all cultures - the bad word will be filtered in all website cultures
The word is not allowed only in following cultures - the bad word will be filtered only in cultures added to the list below

 

Using the Add cultures button, you can add cultures to the list. The Remove selected button removes all cultures selected by the check-boxes from the list.
