I have no idea if this problem is unique to us, so I’ll explain:

We have a Discourse instance at [https://discourse.libsdl.org](https://discourse.libsdl.org), for a software library called SDL (“Simple Directmedia Layer”), but occasionally people wander in looking to discuss some product called “Trados” from [http://sdl.com](http://sdl.com), which is a similar company name and URL.

This has happened a few times now. Here’s a recent example:

> **[Trados Print & View should not open a new session of MSWord](https://discourse.libsdl.org/t/trados-print-view-should-not-open-a-new-session-of-msword/25251)**
>
> as per title. Is there a setting to simply use an already open MS Word (or Excel) session to view the result? Thanks JF

Is there some way to catch these before they post, with a popup that says “heeeey, you seem to be in the wrong place entirely!” I see Discourse already checks content as the user types to see if their post is similar to other threads on the forum, I was wondering how hard it would be to hook into this for specific keywords?

Or some other similar solution?

Thanks,  
–ryan.

Maybe this is what you want:

> [@Automatic Actions based on post content (Watched Words)](https://meta.discourse.org/t/automatic-actions-based-on-words-found-in-posts/66878):

> New for 1.9 is the ability to take some actions based on watched words found in a post. Block the post at the time it is submitted. User sees a message saying they’ve used a word that’s not allowed. Flag the post as inappropriate, but allow it to be submitted. Censor the words, which replaces the censored\_words site setting being removed by this feature.
