>what is this and how does it work?
this giant blob of text is a regular expression. basically it's a pattern matcher that finds and filters spam on /biz/
>it looks scary, is it a virus?
not at all, it's just text. anons that reply with alarmist bullshit are just trolling you. check the old threads, we're not bullshitting.
>but other anons are scaring me, wat do?
don't listen. you'll often see the scammers accusing our threads of fuckery. truth is they're trying to scare you into not filtering them. they'll even tell you to filter out only 10 words instead. it's all bullshit. we're only here to help.
>how do I use the regular expression?
easy, just copy and paste the whole thing into a filter. don't modify the text unless you know what you're doing because you'll fuck it up and it won't work.
>where can I learn more about regular expressions?
this is a good video to get you started

>what sort of spam does it filter?
mostly shitcoin and r9k spam
>I'm a newfag. how do I use filters?
click "catalog" at the top left of the thread. once in catalog view click "filters" at the top right. when the filter dialog appears, click "add". paste in the whole regex text into the pattern box and click the hide checkbox. click "save". voila.

if you like the work being done here, please show your gratitude by bumping the thread periodically. help make /biz/ great again by spreading the word.

also just want to thank all the anons who are helping. there is definitely an uptick in non-spam activity on the board. keep fighting the good fight. make /biz/ great again.
