# Blacklist Options?

 * My site receives a lot of spam comments, and a lot of them use similar language,
   so I was hoping to create a blacklist where anything that had already been flagged
   as spam gets deleted if it contains a word or phrase that I put on the blacklist.
 * I like to go through the spam to ensure that someone real did not write a comment
   that accidentally got caught in the filter. However, it does take up quite a 
   bit of time that has now become more of a premium to me than before.
 * When I check my site settings, I am not seeing any setup options for such a feature.
   Is there any solution you can recommend? It has been about a decade that I have
   been struggling with this, so I finally decided to check with the experts. 🙂

 * WordPress has this option built-in, accessible via Settings > Discussion. Look
   for the section labeled “Disallowed Comment Keys”.
