Keyword Flagging


The bot should have a feature that will monitor incoming questions and check each post for certain "keywords" as defined by a moderator or bot admin. If such a phrase is found, raise the post by way of a non-intrusive message in chat so that it can be looked at.

This could be used to watch for off-topic posts (like those about Kali or Mint) or posts of a certain caliber. This system should also include a "whitelist", which will always allow the post through, regardless of any blacklisted phrases.

Bot Dev Note: This feature is currently in the bot (initially for testing purposes), but has generated a lot of controversy in chat and elsewhere. This post exists, like the shortcut post, to see the worth of such a feature, and if it's a general good idea or a bad idea.
