I did comment elsewhere in this thread, but have since deleted, but I just had another question:
Can you say a bit more about the OSS libraries I’m always looking for tools to help with comments in my projects!
- npm packages like redact-pii, bad-words (and numerous other "bad word" lists)
- askismet's open source spam code
- regex unicode categories
I also wrote a variety of checks for word counts, combinations of words, known "bad patterns", etc. You may not realize it, but the text input forms block a lot of potential inputs.
It's not perfect, but that's why I'm manually handling things that surface. Happy to answer any follow-ups.
