Can't bulk upload censored words

Contribute Bug

AI-generated summary

A moderator, DillonB07, is experiencing issues with bulk uploading a list of censored words on their Discourse forum, running version 2.9.0 beta 4. Instead of censoring the words, the system is blocking them. Benjamin_D was able to reproduce the issue, noting it only occurs with bulk uploads, not individual word uploads. The problem also affects the Require Approval list, where words are being censored instead of added to the list. Fortunately, a fix has been worked on by flink91 and has been merged, addressing the issue.

Hi,

I’m a moderator on a Discourse forum, and I’m trying to bulk upload a .txt file of words I would like to be censored. I have one word per line in the file. However, when I got to Admin > Customise > Censor and click Add from file, it blocks the words instead of censoring them.

I tried doing the same thing inside of Require Approval, and the words then got censored instead of being put in the Require Approval list.

Our community is using Discourse 2.9.0 beta 4 (6268fe7495)

The only installed plugins are docker_manager and styleguide.

Please could this get fixed soon? If this is an issue for our forum, how do we fix it?

Thanks,
DillonB07

I know you are a moderator. But this might be it.

I wonder whether asking the admin to go to the site settings and looking up authorized extensions might help resolve this.

I can repro this (as an admin) on 2.9.0.beta4 ( d065ec0f7b )
seems to be limited to the bulk upload (as word by word, it works as intended)

but

when trying Require Approval, the list also ends up blocked
