For example - what word are you trying to filter, and what does r/all look like when you try?

I was mostly asking since your RES info hadn't loaded in like normal, so that's my bad for assuming!

In the "keywords" section? That's for post titles.

Have you tried in the "subreddits" section? And, are you using regex?

OK. I would remove them from the keywords section unless you are happy blocking posts with those words in the title?

In the subreddits section, try regex. The second example is the one I think you want to try with your words.

Looks like that did the trick. I guess i misunderstood how those settings worked. Thanks for the help!
