This feature is available for Enterprise and Institutional plans only.
The Vevox profanity filter ensures that participant feedback across word clouds, text polls, and the Q&A message board remains professional and respectful. This feature is enabled by default for all Vevox accounts and sessions but can be deactivated if needed.
Session hosts can toggle the profanity filter on or off for individual sessions based on their requirements.
If you have an Enterprise or Institution account, you can customize the filter to suit your organization’s needs better. This includes adding terms or names that, while not inherently profane, could be filtered to maintain a positive and inclusive environment, especially in professional or academic contexts.
How to Customize the Profanity List
Follow these steps to modify the default profanity filter:
Navigate to the Settings menu and select 'Admin Settings' from the dropdown.
Ensure the profanity filter is turned on for all sessions under the session defaults tab.
To personalize the list:
-
- Go to the Profanity Settings tab.
- Enter the word(s) you want to add and press '+Add'. (Add individual words or paste multiple words separated by commas or new lines.)
- A confirmation message will appear when the word is successfully added.
Note on Duplicates:
If you manually add a word already in the default list, the system will confirm the addition, but the word won’t appear in your manual list. However, it will be visible when you search under All Words.
Explore and Search the List:
- Use the Show Profanity List toggle to browse all 880 pre-selected words.
- View either the Default List or the Manually Added Words list.
- Search for specific words using the search box, indicating whether a word is part of the default list or was manually added.
Deleting a word from the list
To remove a word from the manual or default list, search for it and click the delete icon next to it. You can also delete multiple words simultaneously by selecting the checkbox next to each word and confirming the action.
Restore Default Settings:
You can reset the personal profanity list to its default settings if you need it.
