We do moderation but it takes time and is manual work.
I’d like to use a regex pattern to destroy specific links. Can anybody help me to construct a regex pattern for a link like this?
[text phrases](link to any page on a specific domain)
In my case `[text phrases]` may have different text versions and I would leave it original.
I need to hide only this part: `(link to a page on a specific domain)` where the **domain is always the same** , but the length and text of the link may be different.
The result should be like this:
[text phrases]■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
I found the topic, that previously censor function worked the way I need, but lately was changed: [Censored words out of a URL](https://meta.discourse.org/t/censored-words-out-of-a-url/43154)
@riking \> repro:
> 1. add `adf.ly` to censored words list
> 2. post with `http://adf.ly/SpONsoREDliNK`
> 3. post renders with `http://■■■■■■/SpONsoREDliNK`
