XF 2.0 Banned phrase

[AndrewSimm]

Can I take a word or phrase and have it generate an auto ban if used? I would use this on spammers.

You can use “Spam phrases” under the “Spam management” options.

It doesn’t ban them, but will mark their post for approval so you can then review it and spam clean them.

That’s how roughly 90% of the spammers here are identified.

Thanks, I would be curious to see your phrase list. I wish I could auto ban Korean characters.

We probably have too many to list to be honest, but these are some of the patterns we have listed for various foreign characters that come up quite a lot:

/ấ|â|đ|ẻ|ệ|ề|ợ|ớ|ô|ư|ữ/ui
/(다|모|아|카|지|노|ざ|경|륜|공|단|광|명|돔|경|륜|장| 더|두|파|칭|코|ぉ)/ui
/(＼|【|】|。)/ui
/(美|国|业|微|信|微|毕|证|大|心)/ui

These patterns are for blocking most URLs:

/^\[url.*\[\/url\]$/si
/^http\S+$/si
/\[url=("|')?([^"'\]]+)("|')?\].*\[url\]\2\[/si
/\[url=("|')?([^"'\]]+)("|')?\].*\[url=("|')?\2("|')?\]/si
/^https?:\/\/\S+\n/si

Pretty sure the spam phrase system supports regex, so you may be able to do something clever there

so if I put a letter inside of /(letter | letter )/ui it will reject any user that uses those letters? I think the Dear Leader is attempting to post on my board.
