Content Censor

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   The filter can not one basic thing – block / disable the entire post. This is a major flaw.

   Can’t believe it took me so ******* (<-see what I did there?) long to find a simple content filter for my bbPress forum. Took me all of 3 minutes searching google for an english word list to add in and I was up and ******* running 😀 Thanks for making the plugin basically just work and not need some paid monthly service or other “Pro” crap. I expect that before my site/project goes live I’ll be making a donation. Thank you again 🙂

   I’ll admit that I’m a little squicked out by all the gross words I have to include in the “block these words” part of the set-up, but it’s better than seeing them in my posts! We have a lot of reader-contributed content, and when we copy/paste from their form submissions, we don’t always catch unwelcome language. This plugin allows us to easily block out the words we don’t allow without having to carefully read through and edit every submission.
