# /srv/fly/chat-deny.txt — the operator's chat deny list for flysim's on-screen
# CHAT panel (docs/control-api.md, [chat] deny_list).
#
# One pattern per line. A pattern matches case-insensitively ANYWHERE in the
# display name or in the already-sanitized message text, so "spoiler" also
# blocks "SPOILERS!!" and the viewer "spoiler_king". Lines starting with # and
# blank lines are ignored.
#
# This is the LAST filter, not the first. In front of it are Twitch AutoMod
# (a held message never reaches flybridge at all), the bridge's own pass, and
# flysim's sanitizer, which already refuses control characters, zero-width and
# bidi characters, emoji, links and anything over 200 characters. Add a pattern
# here for the things only a human knows: a slur AutoMod misses, a spoiler, a
# brigading catchphrase.
#
# 05-deploy.sh installs this file ONCE and never overwrites it afterwards: the
# live copy belongs to whoever is on shift. Edit it in place and then
#
#     systemctl kill -s HUP flysim
#
# which re-reads this file and does nothing else — no restart, no dropped
# frames, no interruption to the stream. flysim also re-reads it once a minute
# by itself, so a forgotten SIGHUP costs at most 60 seconds.
#
# Ships empty on purpose. An empty list is not a configuration error: it means
# the sanitizer and AutoMod are the only filters, which is the correct starting
# point for a channel that has never been brigaded.
