I’m very excited about this! Right now, we use a list of censored words to ban linking to some shady news sites which exist to promote online gambling. Then we also use censored patterns to block some swear words and harsh expressions. It’s very useful because we have popular live commentary threads for sports events in which people comment the course of action in real time. Sometimes your fingers are quicker than your mind when you are passionate about your team.
So is the plan to support just words or also regex patterns? Regexes would be extremely useful for my native language Finnish and other languages in which words are inflected.
