About badwords

A plain set of word lists, one per language and locale, of profanity and slurs, maintained on GitHub by Richard Hughes for use in software that accepts user text. It's a blocklist, nothing more: no context, no scoring.

It's useful as a seed list for a keyword filter or a "needs review" flag, and useless as a moderation system on its own.
