Anyone know how to filter out bad words from posts in a Group? I am trying to publicly display a FriendFeed Group that has a twitter search (for all ages) and I want to filter out the posts where people drop the F-Bomb and other words not suitable for kids...thanks!
Just responding off the top of my head & this may not work for you... I have worked around this by self selecting relevant tweets themselves and adding them with a bookmarklet to their own RSS Aggregator (which could be Google Reader, Delicious, or Friendfeed)... some other search tools may be helpful for you as well http://www.toprankblog.com/2009...

hey that is a good idea Holly - I actually added negative words to the twitter advanced search and then imported that feed URL into friendfeed and it worked, thanks!

Another way to look at is to do a FriendFeed search on the group, and add the - operator to any words you don't want to show up. So, let's say you want to show posts from the group example-group and you want to make sure the words fudge, shoot, and jerk are not shown, you'd search for "group:example-group -fudge -shoot -jerk" without the quotation marks.

Cool, Kelly and Mark - I appreciate hearing what works - I can share that with the educators I work with.

Tag the posts either #worksafe and #nsfw, or #ratedg and #ratedr then filter by those tags in search. If you are the topic owner, you can then either moderate or change / remove the tag.
