I watched a video recently of a youtuber who got his address leaked in a livestream, and because of this he actually had to move house, in the video he suggested putting address in your "bad words" list and any other variations you can think of that include the word address so if anyone tries to leak where you live it won't come through to the comments, I suggest doing this now even if you're small, as you never know whats going to happen in the future, I also recommend adding other personal details like the word phone number or mobile number so that can't be leaked either

Also apparently posting the word *links* in your block list, will stop all links coming through too another good thing for if you get big, as there are accounts out there who will use fake links to try and scam your subscribers, I saw this one on twitter.

I struggled to explain what I mean so I hope this makes sense to people, but just wanted to mention it now, to keep yourself and your audience safe!

Have a good weekend guys

Those are actually really good. I don't try to censor my users since I'm not exactly super censored, but those are probably for the betterment of the channel and community.

These are great tips! Thank you! =) I have a lot of bad words in my filter, but I'm going to add some of these, too. ^_^

I recently discovered this and it does a great job of flagging people spamming their websites and affiliate links.
