This is wonderful list. Thank for sharing.
Thanks!!!
That’s the loooong list. Really great but didn’t get how to use it.
It states in the beginning of the post how to use it. It is below as well.
– Log into your site and visit Settings > Discussion and scroll down to where it says “Comment Blacklist“.
– Copy and past the list below into that box and save your changes.
Does this also work for contact forms on the site?
This is only for the comments section on your WordPress site. Depending on the contact form plugin you are using, there is likely a re-captcha add on to avoid spam submissions. What plugin are you using?
Yes there is, forgot about the re-captcha.
Thank you.

How can we stop or block nude – adult image upload events ? we have a site where user can uploads their images by own !! need helP
Not really possible to know what is in an image until you see it. Would need to just moderate event creation before it goes live.
