Censor Profanity Words Used in Reviews and Questions & Answers

  • Updated

To avoid publishing reviews containing inappropriate language, you can activate the profanity filter to automatically censor any words or phrases you don't want visible.

You can choose to only censor specific words, which will appear as asterisks (***), or you can hide reviews containing profanity entirely.

Censoring or Hiding reviews entirely

You have two primary options available for how you handle profanity.

  • Censor specific words:
    • This will result in the censored word appearing as asterisks (***). The remainder of the review/question content will still display on your widgets.
  • Hide the entire review or Q&A
    • This will remove the entire review from being visible in your widgets.
