# ContentGuard Text™

ContentGuard Text™ gives you complete flexibility to create a customised list of words/phrases to automatically quarantine content if a match is found. It's scope includes reviews, Q&A and comments. You can create separate lists for profane and competitors words/phrases.

Quarantined content can be actioned by publishing or suppressing, giving you full control and ultimately preventing any inappropriate content being associated with your business.

## ContentGuard Text™ works like this:

1.  Create a custom filter list of **profane** and **competitor** words/phrases that you would like to automatically filter 
2.  When a match is found, the content item is automatically suppressed (unpublished).  An email notification is sent and a corresponding ContentGuard report is generated and automatically marked and filed as resolved.
3.  If the ContentGuard algorithm is unsure about whether the item should be suppressed, it will notify you via an email and request you to review and action the item manually. The content will remain publicly available until you moderate it.

A suppressed item can be reversed and published at any time.

## ContentGuard Text™ setup

1.  Goto [Moderation > ContentGuard](https://app.helpfulcrowd.com/cp/moderation/contentguard)
2.  Select Profanity filter dropdown
3.  Enter the filter words or phrases. Remember to insert a comma between if on a single line) or at the end of each filter word or phrase (if on separate lines)
4.  **Save**
5.  **Repeat** steps 2-4 for Competitor filter

**Note:**

*   ContentGuard Text™ works with Reviews, Q&A and comments
*   An item will automatically be captured by ContentGuard regardless of case i.e. upper or lower case
*   An item will automatically be captured by ContentGuard if is contained with a larger string e.g. if you entered a filter word such as **blendtec** and the content submitted contained the word **blendtec_s_** then the item would be captured by ContentGuard
*   Filter words/phrases can be entered either on a **single line separated by commas** or on **separate lines with a comma at the end of each filter item**
*   An email notification is sent automatically notifying of any reported inappropriate content
*   A suppressed (quarantined) item can be unsuppressed at anytime simply by publishing
