Nouz Blog Engine / Help / Stopwords

Stopwords list is the most simple and rather efficient method of filtering comments with unwanted content. You have to enter one expression per line in your blog settings, for example: 
viagra
phentermine
cheap medicines

If at least one of them appears in author’s name or comment text, the post will be refused.

If you get losts of spam messages which are alike each other, just find their “feature” — a substring which remains the same in all of them. Add this substring to the stopwords list, but do it with care, or you may block good comments.

Let’s suppose that we get spam comments like these: 

a) Good site. Thank you! http://example.com
b) Nice site. Thanks! http://example2.com
It seems that we can add the word example to the stopwords list, but it’s not very good idea. Example is just a normal word. A better solution is to filter site. Thank. In this case, there also is a small chance that we’ll block good comments too, but it’s not a problem. When Nouz finds an expression from the list, it notifies the user and shows why exactly his comment is like spam. The user can just edit the comment without losing the text.

By default there are <a href= and [url= expressions in the list. Tags in comments are not supported anyway. However, there are lots of spam containing them, so the filtering should be efficient.
