Good to know
- Whole words only, and capital letters do not matter.
- End a word with * to block all its endings. "abus*" blocks abuse and abusive.
- Hold it for my check: the comment waits in the Waiting list and the reader is told it is being checked.
- Ask the reader to change it: the comment is not accepted and the reader must edit the text first.
- After adding, you see for example "# words added, # skipped (already there or too short). Press Save to keep the changes."
