Describe the solution you'd like.

It would be nice if we could block words to filter posts, communities, comments and users.

Surprised no one opened this before, but I couldn't find anything outside of some advanced searching issues that were too big in scope.

This could be added as a user setting (similar to local_site_url_blocklist).

Will probably be a while until I can get to this, unless someone else can work on it.

Maybe it would be a good idea to have it check words and phrases, that way you could more accurately exclude topics i.e. Exclude posts from Donald Trump instead of just Donald and /or Trump Otherwise you would also exclude content with Donald Duck or A Red card will Trump a Blue card and some people might want that but many people won't, so if it can't do phrases many people won't use it or won't be able to use it.
