Badwords

Admin Page: Site Setup > Badwords

Use this administration tool to declare words that you do not wish to appear in areas of your site that users enter text. The words declared in this list will be removed from text that users enter into the new listings they place. The text you declare on the left will be replaced with the text you declare on the right. If there is no replacement text the badword will simply be removed.

Order is Important:

Pay attention to the order of the words from top to bottom in the list below. The filter starts at the top of the list then moves to the bottom replacing text each row. There could be a problem if one word is a subword of another in the bottom of the list. The word lower in the list would never be replaced.

For Example:

If two words were in the list: dummy replaced with stupid and dummyhead replaced with lalala. If dummy were above dummyhead in the list dummyhead would never match because by the time the filter got to filtering dummyhead the dummy part of the word would have already been replaced. Most instances this would not be a problem but in some instances it might. Make sure that words or word snippet appearing within other (longer) words appear later or after their longer counterparts.
