Keyword cigarettes

Will the staff still do that? My understanding is that the staff is no longer able to devote the time to fix bad keywords. That's why @keyword_expert stopped contributing.

I've been wondering about this issue. The staff may not have time to change every instance of cigarettes to cigarette. But they may have time to block a bad keyword like cigarette (as you requested), so that keyword contributors won't feel as if they're treading water changing a bad keyword to a good word.

Or they could make it so that cigarettes automatically changes to cigarette. They've done that with many other keywords.

I wouldn't mind making the effort to change bad keywords if I knew that they couldn't be revived.

I believe the time-consuming part for them was doing just that—changing each instance of a bad keyword to a good one. My understanding is that even at staff level, they don't have an easy way to change, say, one-hundred instances of cigarettes to cigarette.

Maybe if the staff just did that to bad keywords, Keyword Expert would start contributing again.

Hi Marco-

We appreciate the report! 

However, until we have an established mechanism in place for reporting and actioning these keyword clean-ups we will be unable to handle them further.

We will only be able to investigate and take action on instances where there are inappropriate and/or violating keywords observed. 

Cheers!
