In ReadyCMS, maintaining a positive and respectful environment for user interactions is paramount. The platform provides tools to manage and filter out bad words in comments, ensuring that the content remains appropriate and respectful.

Why manage bad words?

  • Positive environment: Ensure that the user interactions on your platform are respectful and positive.
  • Brand image: Protect your brand image by preventing inappropriate language on your platform.
  • User experience: Enhance the user experience by fostering a safe and respectful space for interaction.

Handling inappropriate language and behavior

Currently, the primary method for dealing with inappropriate words or harmful behavior is manual. Admins need to identify and modify the status of such content to ensure a respectful and positive environment on the platform.

  1. Sign in: Access your ReadyCMS account.
