+I think this is fairly self explanatory. It is simply a list of subject headers that we do not want to pass on to either the users of the cluster or the other cluster nodes that we are linked to. This is usually because of -rules and regulations pertaining to items for sale etc in a particular country. -

+From version 1.48 onwards the interface to this has changed. You can now

-Create a file in /spider/data called badwords. The format is quite
-simple. Lines beginning with # are ignored so comments can be added. An
-example file is below ...

+These work in the same as the set/badword command, you can add
+any words or callsigns or whatever to the appropriate database. For
+example, to stop a spot from a particular node you do:
-# Below is a list of words we do not wish to see on the cluster
-grunge grunged grunging
-splodge splodger splodging
-grince
-fluffle
+set/badnode gb7djk gb7dxc
-Multiple words can be used on the same line as shown. Obviously these
-are just examples :-)

You can reload the file from the cluster prompt as sysop with load/badwords.

+set/baddx video wsjt

+You can remove a word using the appropriate unset command
+(unset/baddx, unset/badspotter, unset/badnode) or list them
+using one of show/baddx, show/badspotter and
