Hi,
We have just set up our forum and looking for a way to set up the profanity and watched word list. Is there a default list which we can import? or any tips and documentation about this?
Thanks,
Dan

The discussion revolves around setting up profanity and watched word lists on a Discourse forum. danstramer inquires about a default list to import, and omarfilip suggests uploading a list from Logs & Watched Words and searching online for “profanity word list.”
However, danstramer encounters a limit of 1000 words when trying to import Facebook’s profanity word list, which has 1700 words. simon confirms the 1000-word limit and provides a link to a meta discussion with more details.
simon recommends a list of 451 entries from a GitHub repository as a starting point, but advises danstramer to review the list according to the forum’s discussion types. danstramer finds the list helpful.
You can upload a list from Logs → Watched Words → Add from file.

If you search the web for profanity word list, you’ll get many choices.
Yes, there is a limit of 1000 watched words. The watched word feature doesn’t have a lot of documentation, but you can find some details about it, including the 1000 word limit, here: Automatic Actions based on post content (Watched Words).
Thanks @simon, do you have a recommended list of <1000 words? The pre-made lists I found were 1400-1700 words.

I’m somewhat reluctant to link to a profanity list here, but what the heck 
The list.txt file from this repo is probably a good starting point: GitHub - coffee-and-fun/google-profanity-words: Full list of bad words and top swear words banned by Google. · GitHub. It has 451 entries.
Note that depending on what types of discussions happen on your forum, you might not want to add all words from that list.
Thanks Simon! definitely useful.
