Feature Announcement: Mitigate Profanity With Block Lists

Stream has introduced a new moderation tool aimed at helping companies manage harmful content in user chats, crucial for industries like Education and Social Media. The tool, known as Block Lists, enables users to select from a predefined list of over 1,000 profane words or create custom lists to prevent specific words from appearing in chats. Users can choose between two options for managing content: flagging or blocking. This tool is easy to set up, requiring no additional hosted solutions or code on the client or server side, and operates automatically without human intervention. The flexibility to flag or block content based on severity helps maintain a balance between open communication and effective moderation. Stream's Block Lists feature is designed to provide a safe and engaging user experience, with more features expected in the near future.
