Website Ability to block phrases for when authors do not tag properly

[Tani]

Many authors I've noted slip through my blocked tags because they simply don't use the tags, and put what I have blocked in the description instead. I'd like an option to just block words/phrases for when authors fail to add correct tagging.

I can look into this, but I have major concerns about performance issues if I implement this. Blocking on Heliosphere is not on the client side; the blocks are taken into account on the server so that the blocked content is never sent to you, but searching every mod for blocked phrases may severely slow that down. I'll test it locally, eventually, and see how bad the performance hit is.

Alternatively, if that isn't possible, could there potentially be a way to detect a phrase (i.e. bibo) and apply the tag for the author? Not sure how feasible that option is either but might alleviate issues with bad/no tagging.

I try not to do things like that because it will irk some creators. I usually won't use moderator powers to add tags either for the same reason. There would also be false positives, like "this mod is NOT bibo compatible" in a naive implementation would add the bibo tag, etc. Obviously you could check for "not", but I'm sure you can come up with a time when a sentence might contain "not bibo" but should have the bibo tag.

For bodies, I think your original request here could be served by this suggestion to add official body tags that are in a dropdown or something similar.

When I've got spoons to test things out, I will check to see how the performance of your original suggestion is, though. It may not be a problem!

you could potentially have the block listener rely on dependencies? ie. if something requires bibo to function and bibo is listed as a dependency. at the very least, like that there's significantly less chance for a false positive re: bodies and mods associated with them.
