Word Translation / Censorship

I’d like to create a few censored words , and replace / translate them with various fun words or phrases that discourage users from engaging in certain negative speech. For example,

I’d like to replace “bad word” with “I AM A MISOGYNIST”

Is this possible with discourse?

It would require a plugin or theme, nothing built-in.

What you could do is automatically flag stuff with bad words and then edit it yourself. Or just straight out block the bad words.

I actually want to add a replace option to Watched Words but it is low pri.

Great to hear it is on mind , in due time!

This should be fairly straightforward to do by modifying the autolinkify theme component. Might be super fun to create The Good Place theme, I might give it a try during Christmas. :sunny:
