Contexts | Unprofane docs

context tells the engine what kind of text it is looking at. The lexicon, the transforms and the guards are the same everywhere; what changes is how the text is cut up and which tricks are worth trying.

Context	For	What is different
`general`	Anything, the default	Read as running text.
`username`	A handle shown publicly	At most 64 characters. camelCase, digit runs and underscores are split, and the string is segmented into words with a frequency list, so `xXsh1tXx` and `ilovesh1t` are read. The reversed string is checked too. Reserved names (admin, support, the brand’s own) match.
`display_name`	A name shown beside a person’s content	As `username`, without the reserved list.
`comment`	A post or a comment	Running text; the model tier is consulted for insults and threats that a word list cannot see.
`chat`	One line of a conversation	As `comment`, tuned for short lines.
`gaming`	A line of a game’s chat, between players	As `chat` to the rules. The model is told it reads a game’s chat, where killing or destroying players describes play and harm outside the game does not. Under every policy but `kids`, a taunt about how someone plays (`noob`, `gg ez, uninstall`) and rudeness are not acted on; a slur, a threat, `kys`, sexual language, swearing, an insult about the person (`idiot`, `stupid`) and a personal attack are. A threat inside the game (`u will die`) goes to the model in `balanced`.
`educational`	A lesson, a paper, a history or a dictionary entry	Read as `general`, with every quotation read as speech: a word quoted, named or reported (`the word 'fuck'`, `Nazi propaganda called Jews "untermenschen"`) is discussed, swearing and slurs included, and the model reads it. A word used on someone (`you are a fucking idiot`) or a slur outside quotes still counts.
`creative`	Fiction, roleplay, lyrics	Read as `general`, with every quotation read as dialogue: a character’s threat or oath (`"I'll kill you for this," she hissed`) goes to the model, and the model is told a threat to a real person is not fiction. A slur counts even in dialogue; narration is read as any text is.
`review`	A product or place review	As `comment`. The anatomy and animal guards are widest here: a review of a chicken breast is not profane.
`custom_text`	Text a customer typed for engraving, printing or a product	Read as `general`; the response is meant to be shown back to the buyer, so `censored` matters most.

Which to choose

Pick the one that names the field. When none does, general. A wrong context is not a broken check; it is a slightly worse one: a username in general will not be segmented, so ilovesh1t may pass.

Game chat

The same line reads differently in a game. In chat, nice try loser is an insult aimed at someone and blocks under standard; in gaming it is a taunt and is allowed. I know where you live. See you after the match. blocks in both.

Text	`chat`	`gaming`
`gg ez, uninstall`	block	allow
`nice try loser`	block	allow
`kys noob`	block	block
`you idiot`	block	block
`I know where you live`	block	block

The table is the rules alone (mode: "fast"). An insult about the person (you idiot, stupid mid) is no taunt in a game either; game slang about play (noob, bot, trash) is. In balanced, the model reads the rest: an insult it reads as less than moderate is a taunt, and a personal attack (your mom must be so ashamed of you) is not. A threat inside the game (u will die, te mato) is no certain block in gaming: in balanced the model reads it, and with the rules alone it still blocks. A game for children uses policy: "kids", which keeps every rule of chat.

Lessons and fiction

Quotation marks are read the same way in every language the engine covers ("…", «…», „…“, 「…」).

Text	`general`	`educational`	`creative`
`The word 'fuck' has many uses.`	review	allow	allow
`"You bastard," she hissed. "I'll kill you for this."`	block	allow	allow
`La palabra «puta» tiene muchos usos.`	block	allow	allow
`«Я тебя убью, сука», прошептал он.`	block	allow	allow
`you are a fucking idiot`	block	block	block

The table is the rules alone (mode: "fast"). In balanced, the model reads what the rules handed it.

Project defaults

Set the context once on the project in the dashboard and leave it out of every request. A request that sends one overrides the default.
