I set "banned words for post title" under the sub settings, but have had users complain it was blocking full words, same as in the post as 'ban words from post body'. I tested it, and it does in-fact prevent the post from working because it is picking up a match mid text.
Say you use the word 'hotel' based on my settings, it would block because the 3 letters 'hot' in 'hotel'.
Normally I would use automod, but I figured hey the option is in the sub settings, let's use it - but matching within a string is not quite good.
If I relied on automod, for a simple example if I wanted the word 'hot' to match but ignore hotel or shot, I would say something like \bhot\b - to isolate the word.
Is the banned word setting working as intended? Or is it supposed to treat matches within text that is part of a larger word?
