BuddyPress Add-on Plugin

BuddyPress Profanity

Toxic language in activity updates, comments, and private messages drives members away and creates moderation headaches. BuddyPress Profanity filters a configurable keyword list in real time across activity posts, activity comments, and private messages, replacing flagged words before they are ever displayed. On/off toggles for each component give admins precise control.
