Spam Filter

Spam Filter
The Spam/Keyword filter enables you to block submissions which you do not want included in your new submissions area for approval. This can be useful to completely ignore spam, a spammer, or to keep your directory family friendly. Note that once you added keywords here, the submission containing those keywords will be blocked completely and the blocked submission will only show in the 'blocked log'. The submitter will get the idea he submitted successfully but the submission will have been in fact blocked. Use with caution as you can block submissions that you don't want blocked. Make sure you understand how this works, before using it. See the online documentation for complete information.

Spam/Keyword Filter Help

If any of the keywords you added here are found in the new submissions fields (form fill-in boxes), the submission is blocked. Keywords are matched partially or via whole words.

What is Whole or Partial Word Matches?

Whole Word Matching:
'Whole word matching' matches whole words. For example: Spam
This will only match Spam and not Spammed

Partial Word Matching:
'Partial matching', matches any word in words. Let's say you specified Spam as a keyword. If Spammed was found within a submission, the submission would be blocked because Spammed contained the word Spam

Note that the keywords you specify is not case sensitive
