Same here.

Be on the lookout for smilies. Cookie stuffing, a technique that uses smilies, links to broken gif images (both gif and php extensions at the end of the URL) are 99% likely to be connected to cookie stuffing. The process being: The browser still tries to resolve the link. The gif, php, or smiley is actually a file that loads the source code of the html on your page with affiliate links (e.g., Amazon). These affiliate links are added to the browsers cookie cache, and from that point on, any product a member buys that's connected to the links in the cookie are credited to the malicious affiliate. This nasty trick has resurfaced it's ugly head -- at least in the forum I run.

if in my keyword list now I've ABC DEF a post containing the word 12ABC34 will be put in moderation queue; for some spam keywords I don't want it (I use this mod to prevent adult keywords in my posts too)
So I'de like to specify my keywords in this manner: "ABC" DEF "drh" gerg ergerg

Thank you!

This mod is my favorite of all, but at the same time we have 1,500 registrations per day in our forums. It is a great tool, but is also a difficult thing to keep up with, due to false positives and the lack of being able to configure partial matches -- like you can in the censorship filter. For example, I can't block .gif, because it then adds words like "gift" to the mod queue.

Based on the last time this was updated, I don't think the feature request will be implemented, but I wanted to post my feedback anyway. Using 3.8.7 BTW.
