Aurora: Edit a content filter

From time to time, you may want to update a filter action, apply a filter to other areas, or add more terms to a filter. From the Content Filters tab, you can edit the default filters or existing filters.

To edit a filter:

Sign in to the community as an Admin.
Open the Account menu and go to Settings > Features.
Click Moderation.
Go to the Content Filters tab.
Open the Options menu and click Edit.

The filter page is displayed with the Filter Information and Terms sections. The Terms section lists the terms added to the filter along with their respective Optional Replacement Term, if configured:

From the filters page, you can:

Edit filter information
Add terms to a filter
Edit or remove terms

Edit filter information

From the filter page, click Edit Info and update the required fields. Note that you cannot edit the Filter Name.

Add terms to a filter

From the filters page, go to the Terms section and click Add Terms.
In the Add Terms window, enter the terms you want to filter. You can enter only one term per line. Optionally, you can define the specific replacement term for a word by adding a comma between the filtered word and the replacement word. Doing this replaces the filter term with this specific replacement term.
Example: If you want the term “shameful” to be replaced with “inappropriate,” then enter “shameful,inappropriate.”
If you do not specify the optional replacement term, the term is replaced with the default replacement term.
Click Add.

The new terms are added to the list.

Edit terms

Sometimes, for a term added in any filter with filter action set to Replace term, you might want to add an optional replacement term or edit an existing optional replacement term. Note that you can edit only the terms that belong to the filter with Replace term action and not for other filters actions such as Do not allow, Check inline HTML and do not allow, and Take no action.

To edit a term:

From the filters page, go to the Terms section and click Edit next to the term.
In the Edit Term window, add or update the Optional replacement term and click Save.

The content filter replaces the identified with the optional replacement term in the configured areas of the community. Note that the content filter does not replace the content that is already identified and replaced with the previous optional or default replacement term.
