Probot: Profanity

a GitHub App built with Probot that marks/censors Issues and Pull Requests containing offensive content.

Based on @bkeepers's stale bot.

Usage

1. Configure the GitHub App
2. Create .github/profanity.yml based on the following template
3. It will start scanning for offensive issues and/or pull requests within an hour and automatically censor/mark any new ones.

A .github/profanity.yml file is required to enable the plugin. The file can be empty, or it can override any of these default settings:

Why did only some issues and pull requests get marked as inappropriate?

To avoid triggering abuse prevention mechanisms on GitHub, only 30 issues and pull requests will be marked or closed per hour. If your repository has more than that, it will just take a few hours or days to mark them all.
