Modify Inappropriate Words

Municipal Websites Central includes an inappropriate word filter that prevents the use of prohibitive language in multiple areas of your website.

The Inappropriate Words list affects:

• Activity Registrations
• Bid Postings Plan Holders Form Submissions
• Community Connection
• Community Voice
• Form Center Submissions
• My Account Profiles and Posts

If a post, submission, or other content includes an inappropriate word, your website will prevent it from being saved and will let the user know where they are using language that is not permitted. This article will show you how to modify the Inappropriate Words list through Site Properties.

Important Note

• Changes to the Inappropriate Words list take effect immediately.
