Hi all,
A lot of you were concerned about spammers so we are excited to tell you about the new Spam Filter.
It has 2 capabilities that you can control:
Spam Words: Members won't be able to publish posts and comments with these words
Filtered Words: Words that will turn into asterisks when they are shown in posts and comments.
Here is how to use it:
Head to the editor
Go to your forum page
Open the forum settings
Go to the settings tab
Add Spam Words or Stop Words
Let us know what do you think!
Great idea!
Do you have instructions for this for WIX Code? (So we can implement something similar for posts in our own creations)
Hi thomas,
Thanks for contacting us. What exactly do you want to do with Wix Code?
How would you create an asterisks auto filter to change a list of filtered words for a personal member?
I have a repeater linked to a 'posts' dataset.
Many thanks for any help!
Hi Thomas - its seems you're speaking about code option in general - not related to forum right? forum api's are not open to Wix code yet.
Yeah, not related to the forum unfortunately.
Many thanks for the reply.
Are you planning on releasing them in the future?
Yes, we are planning to allow API's for forum data that you can use in Wix Code - I'll update once we will have more info :)
Hi, any update?
You mean that your ARE planning to open up the apis for the wix forum for wix code????!!! This is the BEST news that I have heard for the forum. Will we be able to customize EVERYTHING on the wix forum with wix code?
How to separate between spam words? Using comma "," or in a new line?
Edit: Oops sorry there is an instruction inside the box. Using comma.
Apparently some guy didn't liked this new feature and tried today to test wix team and its users patience. Got 100 of spam post on wix code forum today along with email notifications for those spam message. How wix is going to stop this?
**Not attaching all the screenshots ......
Hi,
The Wix Code Forum's admin needs to configure the spam filter with the right words and then you won't get these notifications :)
Hi, I really do love the sound of this feature.
However, to improve, maybe you could make it so that some of these filtered words can be seen by people over a certain age, and people under can't see it. This info could be obtained upon sign up / their profile.
What are spam words?
beside 'word filter' there should be 'image filter' and 'video filter' also, thus graphical vilolent or adultery can be censored on the forum
Navanuppal, So how does the video filter work?
I don't think this is an effective solution tonspaf
cool
This is an important part of any forum so I'm happy to see it..
