I did a little search-fu and couldn’t find the answer, but I apologize if this has already been answered somewhere. Short version, we have a few users who instead of using a watched word, work around the system by posting it with asterisks. For example, they say “f**k.” We attempted to add that to …

I haven’t tried it, but escaping with backslashes like f\*\*k should probably work.

I’m curious — in generally, how can I watch word f**k? Let’s don’t care all variants etc, but how can I tell * isn’t a wildcard but a character? Escaping doesn’t work.

Toggling on watched words regular expressions and adding f\*\*k to Block seems to work for me? Are you testing with a regular user or an admin? Actually, Block works on admin too.
