It currently only works in editors (so when you compose new content). It does not apply to custom profile fields, or content titles. The implementation is just a JSON list in HTML which is processed by javascript on submission, so it's not particularly intensive.

As Jordan noted, it's not meant to be a cast iron wall to prevent you from posting specific things, but more a nudge to reconsider. There's just too many ways to get around a word filter to even try stopping it. 
 
@Chris Anderson Nothing is ever feature complete. 🙂 

We definitely have already started strategizing how to improve this feature. Links idea is a good one 👌. 

This could be tremendously useful indeed!  Is it possible to set this at a per forum basis?  That would help channel discussions to be put in proper forums.  I move many posts a day, and a lot of them are political (not niche relevant but often discussed) and are required (but never honored by members) to be in a specific forum that isn't part of our main landing page's content.
I can only imagine (dream) of being able to put a filter on Biden, Trump, COVID, Fauci, etc and have it blocked from being submitted anywhere but it's target forum!

This is useful, but we need to expand this or add another feature which prevents new users from posting links!

I love it when the comments are better than the blog itself. 
 
Outstanding contribution! Thanks Chris. 

Although there are lots of settings and features built into the suite to programmatically encourage "connectivity", it takes a great deal of finesse to keep both the early adopters and those that join later "truly" connected.
If a site admin "wings it", then...

It will likely lead to a "very" bumpy ride for one-and-all.
It takes thought and experimentation to hit upon how to create an overall environment that encourages members to connect with each other at the various stages of a site's development and long-term existence.
Eliciting feedback from early adopters is important but there is no guarantee that the first cohort's personality and interests will mirror that of future members. As such, it's wise not to build-out a site utilizing their input exclusively.   One should continuously elicit input from folks that have been around for varying periods of time. When you get a handle of the needs of your overall membership new and old you will have a better sense of how to guide the community towards ever more connectivity around areas that matter to the group as a whole.
As people's interests change (and you factor in short-lived trends) a site needs to constantly figure out how to address those changing interests and possibly differences in how members engage with each other. This is especially important if a site caters to a demographic that encompasses multiple generations and geographic regions.
Adopting a top-down approach to community engagement is unlikely to work much past a site's launch. A site admin should refrain from thinking this is "my site" and instead of think of it as "our site". What should "we" do to make this site far more engaging for all of us in comparison with our competitors?  Does "our" content "engage" and "inform", and does it feel like a place to hang out and make "real" connections with others.
Instead of admins setting the tone for a site by ensuring members adhere to a complex set of community standards one might consider changing their roles to be facilitators. They could be utilized to facilitate great dialog and introduce various members to each other they think might benefit from getting to know each other and elicit great conversations.
Getting to know other members in meaningful ways may require revealing a little more about oneself than just one's screen name. Profiles with just the right kind of fields filled out can go a long way towards helping ferret out fellow members with similar interests. This is a feature that often isn't utilized to its fullest extent as the value proposition isn't properly communicated to one-and-all from my observations of this site as well as others.
I've had 12,719 profile views here but as very few other people have filled out their profiles, I've followed suite and left mine almost blank.  People appear to want to know more about other fellow members here, but IPS has chosen not to promote the use of profiles.
Being in regular contact with your entire community (not just your early adopters and power users) is important. This will better allow you to find common ground amongst your entire membership. You might have to make a special effort to draw some folks out but it's worth it in the long term.  Many new members are a bit shy at first but in time may become quite active when they reach a certain comfort level. Who knows, some of these folks might be some of your best contributors in the years to come.
Society seems to instill a strong sense of independence in the populace.  Although that has many positives there are negative aspects as well.  One being that we are often reticent of asking for help from others.
Collectively we can accomplish so much more than what we can do individually, so don't be afraid to ask for assistance from your membership to help create a "community". You might be surprised by how many folks will offer to lend a hand if it is being used in a truly useful fashion and a task can be completed in a short span of time.
@Matt made some great points above, I would recommend folks check out more of his blog postings along with Joel R and Jordan Miller.
 
 

I like this "guru" expertise section and excellent start, keep it up 👍

As the functionality stands now you get a running list of Stock Replies that you have to scroll through to "hopefully find one that is appropriate for the area you are in currently.

It would be nice if IPS created categories that you populate in the ACP and then choose on the front end to find a set of Stock Replies pertinent to a particular use case.

 
Once you click on a category it would bring up a list of relevant Stock Replies you could choose from.
Access to each category would be set in the ACP and would only appear on the frontend if the user had the appropriate permission.

Hello Dears
It's great to have an almost certain timeline for future releases, as I've already discussed with Jordan.
For example, we now know that version 4.6.7 is scheduled to be released in the first half of October.
Or, for example, we implicitly know that version 4.7.0 is scheduled to be released on Jordan's birthday on 2022.4.7! 🎉
If there is a sidebar widget (or any other better idea) on the forums page that indicates the release date of newer versions, it would be great, and community leaders can plan for that.
For example, pay attention to this design (sidebar widget) :

Thanks for reading, Sajjad. 😉

What if people want to buy it for their 4.4 or 4.5 installation? It's the only way people on older version can have this function. I see no need to remove it NOW. I understand it sucks with the price-change news and all but don't let all that get to you.
BTW you have done TONS of mods, some of which really seem that should be in IPS as core functions. You can't expect that one day these will not be implemented into IPS by the company. Instead focus on making and improving other great mods which are unlikely to be picked up by IPS: like quizzes, jobs and many others. 😉 stay positive 🙂

Is there a way it can be even more personalised by detecting the username from the original topic?

[USERNAME], thanks for your reply.

<then insert the stock reply>

I actually like it. I hope they do it more... like a hundred times. 😄

Good idea 🙂 

UUhhhaaa. One more resource is dead!
🙂

Dayum!!! 

Before the question comes up..
Rules are handled via extensions, so 3rd party apps will be able to implement own rules in their apps :)

Jordan - Congrats
Matt - What does this position actually mean for clients?  How will he triage, prioritize, and escalate client feedback to the IPS team, all of whom can and do visit the forums themselves? What are the parameters for clients to help highlight and channel our feedback in an effective manner?  And finally, as a community advocate, what does he actually advocate?  Whom does he represent, and to what extent?  
Until the company articulates - and the community can validate - these above questions, this new position is entirely aspirational.  
Invision has attempted multiple community engagement tactics over the years.  And I have a long history of memory:
I remember IPS Release Notes when Charles said you were going to provide a roadmap.  That quietly disappeared and failed.  I remember Tagging when Lindy said you were going to tag the status of features.  That quietly disappeared and failed.   I remember how you removed Pre-Sales and merged Feedback from all product lines together.  Product Feedback is now a mess.   I remember how you recently launched a Slack channel for Marketplace devs.  How is that going?   I genuinely and honestly don't mind you guys trying new things - that's great.  Every community (and company) should always be experimenting and launching new initiatives.  But the past history of your community engagement is littered with no follow through.  How is this time different?    
To be blunt and on behalf of all of your retail clients, we don't need a Community Advocate to post memes.  We need a Community Advocate with the power to deliver and communicate on meaningful actions to drive our communities forward.

Hey again, Joel. Jordan here.
First off, I want to say that I genuinely appreciate your passion for community building. We spoke about a year and a half ago via Skype because you genuinely care about the subject and offered me a lot of valuable insight. It really doubled down the importance of online communities. I've always appreciated that convo we had and want to publicly give you props for that. Thank you. 🙏
You bring up a lot of great points! That's exactly why (I believe) Invision decided to include me in an official capacity, because first and foremost we want the community to be heard and taken seriously. I've been a frequent visitor of the Invision Community; I have a lot of experience regarding the customer side of things and wanting XYZ change. I understand the feeling of wanting my ideas/concerns/feedback heard and hopefully implemented.
That is one of our goals with my role is to listen, assess and take decisive action.
I do feel confident I can be an advocate for you and other Invision clients, as well as be a sounding board for the official team. Picture me as an Invision Bridge that connects this community to the team. I believe this takes trust, which I must earn, and I look forward to that.
You make a lot of great points. The community does not need a professional meme poster. We need someone who has the power to deliver and communicate on meaningful actions to drive our communities forward.
I do believe I can serve you and the rest of the community in that regard.
However, I know actions speak louder than words, so I'm looking forward to the future and the upcoming opportunities to show that. 😊
And just cause I love me a good cat meme.
 


If you need anything, @Joel R, please feel free to reach out to me via PM. I'm here for you and the rest of the community.

I think it is a waste of your resources for v5... but good to see you have taken this direction... I hope you consider a editor that is like Gutenberg into wordpress (it include tinycme editor and inline option and MORE support old bbcode into new blocks)

You guys are da BOMB!!

Without Google 99% of us are dead.
-Need more Google-friendly and more speed in theme

I like the spacing. Its cleaner and it may solve my forum's issues with google saying that elements are too close together, spacing issues. 

Like this?

Very "improved"...
OMG 😱 "elements having room to breathe" © Rikki 🤣😭
It should look like this:
