Question: Banning community names using keywords

Open Antik79 opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Question

Is there an option to ban certain keywords from being used in community names on our server? Communities with the n-word for example

No, but any enhancement should be admin configurable per instance rather than hardcoded, to avoid defaultism around the developers' language preferences

Yes definitely not hard-coded. Ofcourse the instance admin should be able to add strings like n*gger and such that are banned.

Admins can configure a slur filter. This is used to check community names, user names and other things.
