Hide or censor offensive reviews automatically—try Judge.me Awesome free for 15 days.
Keeping your store respectful is key to building customer trust. With Judge.me’s profanity filter, you can detect and manage offensive language in your reviews.
How it works
When the profanity filter is enabled, we scan the review titles, review bodies, and custom form answers for offensive language using our standard blocklist or any custom words or phrases you add or upload.
If a match is found, the review will be handled based on the profanity filter option you selected.
