Create list of blocked words
Blocked words are used to filter out unwanted language in your community. Students very rarely use inappropriate language, but we have added this feature to give instructors some added peace of mind. Once a word is added to your list of blocked words, students will be prevented from submitting posts containing those words until they are removed from the body of the post.
