  • Emails: Blocks messages containing email addresses.

  • Phone Numbers: Blocks messages containing phone numbers.

  • Crypto Wallets: Blocks messages containing cryptocurrency wallet addresses.

FAQs

Q1: Can I disable default words permanently?

Yes, default words can be disabled, but they cannot be edited. Once disabled, they will appear in light grey.

Q2: How does the “Block All Combinations” option work?

This option blocks all variations and combinations of the word you enter, increasing coverage but potentially leading to false positives. Use it carefully.

Q3: Can I test if a message would be blocked?

Yes, use the Check Message button to test any message against the Blacklisted Words list.

Q4: Will restrictions apply retroactively to older messages?

No, the feature applies only to messages sent after the restrictions are activated.


💡 Pro Tips

  • Use Wildcards Effectively: The * character is a powerful tool for matching similar words. For example, entering *play blocks “roleplay,” “ageplay,” etc.

  • Regularly Review the Log: Check the Message Log frequently to identify recurring attempts to bypass restrictions.

  • Balance Restrictions: Avoid being overly restrictive by disabling unnecessary categories or custom words.
